Great way to travel to Merida. First class luxury coach, worth every penny. Comfortable reclining, wide seats with room to put your legs up. Platino is the best form of coach travel I’ve ever experienced.

Exceptionally comfortable seats, clean spacious bathroom, and the smoothest ride I have ever had. Kudos to the driver, a true professional.

Great to have separate air conditioned waiting room. Easy to find. We were expecting a snack and wifi on the bus. Neither were provided. Only 30min wifi which on a long bus ride with no english entertainment available was pretty lame.

The bus was freezing cold, the driver played his own music that interfered with the on-board film

Bus was very clean and on time. Driver polite and Ado staff at airport were helpful. Relaxing transfer from airport to Merida. Better signage at the airport to show where to get the bus would be helpful.

My bus left without me because the girl at the ticket counter inside told me to wait inside when the bus was waiting at T2!! I was told next bus was at 17:25 and had to purchase another ticket!! I am not happy with the employees of ADO. I had to buy a train ticket and a bus ticket to get to Merida.

Staff at Cancun Centro were rude and unhelpful. Missed my bus and had to buy another ticket online as they would not help me. Worse experience of my life.

the trip was uneventful. The driver seems to have a problem continually shaking his legs (maybe ADHD?) but it didn't affect his driving. More important, I dropped my passport and visa card, he found it and chased me down. I'm very gratefull for that.

James V.

All went great! We didn't realize the bus was a small one (16 seater) until we went to board. We actually preferred it over a big bus, seats were comfortable and easy to move around. Temperature was good inside, bus driver was courteous and polite. Movies with subtitles would have been nice for us English speakers.
