Discover How to Use the Bus in Cancun’s Hotel Zone!

If you’re planning a trip to Cancun or already on vacation in the city and wondering how to efficiently get around the Hotel Zone, the bus is an excellent public transportation option to consider. Buses provide a convenient and accessible way to reach all corners of the area, including the most popular or less crowded beaches, nightclubs, restaurants, and shopping centers.

Public Transportation in the Hotel Zone

One of the main advantages of public transportation is its extensive coverage, connecting all points of the Hotel Zone along Boulevard Kukulcán. Whether you’re staying at a resort at the northern or southern end of the hotel zone, you’ll likely find a bus stop near your location. This allows you to easily move between different attractions and activities without relying on taxis or renting a car.

What is the cost and how can I recognize the bus stops in the Hotel Zone?

Another advantage of the bus is its affordable fare of $12 Mexican pesos (it’s important to have Mexican pesos as foreign currency is not accepted), making it a cost-effective option for travelers looking to save on transportation. Additionally, they are easily identifiable, with many routes traversing the Hotel Zone, although not all take the same route. We recommend taking Route 1 or Route 2 (you identify them as R-1 and R-2), which are usually marked in red or blue. These routes run every five minutes and operate 24 hours a day. Moreover, you’ll find clearly marked bus stops throughout the Hotel Zone. It’s important to note that during the early hours of the morning, bus frequency decreases, so if you’re leaving a bar or restaurant and want to return to your hotel, you may have to wait a little longer than usual. As a recommendation, if you’re unsure which stop corresponds to your destination, you can ask the driver if they can notify you when it arrives; they’ll likely be willing to assist you.

To use the bus, simply head to the nearest stop, wait for the transportation, and pay the fare to the driver upon boarding. Remember to ensure you have cash change, as the driver may not be able to provide change for large bills.

What activities can I do in the Hotel Zone?

Looking for an exciting adventure without leaving the Hotel Zone? We recommend the 5-in-1 Mayan Jungle Tour at Puerto Maya. Getting there by public transport from your hotel to Puerto Maya Cancun is very easy; we are located at kilometer 16 of Boulevard Kukulcán, in front of the Cancun Maya Museum and the San Miguelito Archaeological Zone. Why choose the Puerto Maya jungle tour? In addition to being located in the Hotel Zone, an exciting adventure awaits you, lasting approximately two to three hours, which includes: driving your own speedboat, participating in a Maya ceremony, enjoying a captivating pre-Hispanic dance, snorkeling at the Great Mayan Reef, and delighting in typical Cancun cuisine.

The bus is an excellent choice of transportation to explore the Cancun Hotel Zone conveniently, economically, and hassle-free. Whether you want to go to the beach, shop, dine at a restaurant, or go out at night, public transportation will take you there quickly and safely.
