Easy way to travel accross the country, however we sat near the driver so on the overnight buses its quiet loud as they have the radio on

The address for the bus stop in the email confirmation was not the address for the Ado bus station in Bacalar. We had to run for 20 minutes on foot to catch the bus due to this error. Additionally, the lady at Cancun airport who escorted us off the bus scanned me for $50 USD claiming it was the only way to get me to terminal 4 by putting me on a taxi and taking my cash. I was not awake enough to fight and I don’t speak Spanish.

Wish there were charger outlets on ADO bus to airport but no biggy. My driver from Bacalar to Cancun was so friendly. He waved at all the other 'prof drivers' along the way. Made me smile.

AU Bacalar Cancún recent customer reviews

Ride was fine, however, I forgot a carry bag at the Bacalar station. Driver told me to ask the office in Tulum when we arrive there, and in responce to my inquiry at the Tulum ADO office, I was told "ask in Cancún." So, technically ADO office staff unconcern is the issue.
