Great experience. Comfy seats and lots of space. Toilet on the bus wasn’t that clean however and we didn’t make any toilet breaks.

I have used ADO several times from Cancun to Bacalar and it has always been a great experience. My only complaint is that the AC is always a bit too cold. I had to wear my sweatshirt with my hood on for the entire trip. Others had to cover themselves with towels and blankets.

The trip itself was fine - bus was comfortable, quiet and dark so people could sleep, but the bus arrived almost 2hrs late and none of the staff could tell me the status while we waited in Cancun - this was very frustrating.

Bus did not arrive at all. Ended up being exchanged for a different ticket for an ADO bus which was 6 hours later. Very unprofessional service
