Arriving at a beach hotel

The Tulum hotel zone runs along a single narrow beach road with boutique hotels, beach clubs and restaurants on both sides. Traffic moves slowly in the late afternoon and evening, and many hotels have small entrances with limited space to stop. Your chauffeur knows the road and drops you as close to reception as access allows, with help for your luggage.

Tulum airport or Cancun airport?

If you are staying on Tulum beach, TQO is almost always the easier arrival: you save close to ninety minutes of driving each way and the terminal is compact, so you are usually on the road within minutes of collecting your bags. Cancun has more flights and more direct routes from North America and Europe. If you land in Cancun, our Cancun airport to Tulum transfer to the beach starts at $145 USD per vehicle.
