The staff was very unfriendly wouldn't accommodate after missing bus due to luggage being delayed. They would not adjust the tickets. They force us to purchase new tickets.

It all went down good until we arrived at tulum, we checked our bags who were at the cabin above us and our camera got stolen, we and couple people had their things stolen, the company won’t down anything without the police

I was given the opportunity to select a seat when purchasing ticket. However it was not the seat I was forced to sit in during the journey. Why bother giving riders the option if in the end they aren’t allowed to sit in that seat? I have a bad back so it matters to me.

ADO Aeropuerto Cancún Tulum recent customer reviews

Les préposés à l’aeroport de Cancun ont tout fait pour m’induire en erreur en m’indiquant un autre lieu que celui où je devais me rendre afin que je manque mon autobus et prenne un taxi. Je n’ai donc jamais vu l’autobus et je l’ai manqué. J’ai dû reprendre un autre billet.

Was great once I got on the bus! Finding the bus was a bit tricky since they left from several different airport terminals, but the driver picked me up even through I was at the wrong terminal. 5 stars to the ADO driver!

This bus is not at the airport and it did not tell me that. I only found out that after I asked where the bus was at the airport and found out that it was in town. What a waste of money. Not the way to start a vacation

I'm indifferent because I did not use my bus ticket. I didn't realize I booked it via the main Cancun bus terminal and not via ADO at CUN. I had to re-book with ADO once I realized it was too costly for a taxi to the Cancun bus terminal

I didn't realise the bus stops at other stations on the way and got out thinking I was where my ticket read. Missed the next part of the journey and had to purchase another ticket to proceed to desired destination. I'd expect to be told about that on purchasing a ticket.
