I forgot transportion to and from airport. once you clear customs you will be herded down a hallway you have no choice and there will be a TON of services RUNNING to book you on there Vans. One is the same as the next unless you want a limo. It will be around $18 US for two people to a hotel in the hotel zone of Cancun. Bus service in Cancun is wonderful 60 cents US no matter where you go . If you take a taxi around town get the fee agreeded upon up front.We never had a need the buses run 24 hr 7 days a week. Youd on't even have to be at a stop they see you walking and stop in the middle of road to pick you up. Now going back to the airport take the taxi . Buses are not permitted to go to airport.It was $17 US for 2 people from our hotel. These rates are controlled by goverment ( most are and posted in the hotel lobbys).When leaving to go home leave yourself 2 hours at least the airport is small and delta only had one gate ad most us airlines and they only check in one flight at a time. You WILL be searched. They have tables set up before you even get to the ticket counter( you can't go staight to gate as in us even will printed ticket).At these tables they WILL go through ALL your luggage checked and carry on item by item. If the lines are long you can imagine how long this takes. We were frist in line got cleared and walked around for 2 hours had a drink etc. until it ws time to board as opposed to standing in a line. Once you go through x-ray the gates are not what you are used to. When you go to the gate no counter or rep. You get onto a bus and are taken to the plane and no jet way you do the steps.I had items taken off me I had't here in states... Batteries I was only allowed 2 had to give up the rest, eye glass repair kit taken also.One more bit of advice take Fabreeze or Lysol spray and OFF with you. THe air freshner for you room ... Ours had a musty moldy smell which we requested be sprayed daily. We thought it was just our room but found out it was not. We thought it was due to fact of all the rain and the hotel made made out of cement . Upon talking to people at airport it is all the htoels I guess it is the humdity and rain . The OFF spray yourself if you go out after sundown . THe bugs are horrible this time of year. (Hurrican season.) This was the only over priced item we saw during our stay $10 for a small can. We had freinds advice us and we were ready. If you plan on calling home don't buy a phone card before you leave it won't work in your hotel room. Only public phones marked LADEL which you will find on the corners. Most hotels sell phone cards in the lobby that will work but we used my cell phone. I have Verizon and it ws very simple. I had to get the lasted roaming update down loaded I dailed * something ( it is on ther web site) then dail * 611 have international dailing opened on your account. Once you leave the states change over to side A and you are set to go . It was only 65 cents a min. Just remember as soon as you clear the states air space to cahnge back to side B. I am certain any cell phone company will have the same option as a friend did same with ATT.
Have a grea time!
