Which airport suits your trip?
Tulum has its own international airport; Cancún is another arrival option for the region. For your dates, compare available flights, arrival time, total cost and the next stage of your journey. A destination in an airport’s name does not mean you are already at your accommodation.
If you are heading inland first, consider the airport journey alongside the order of your stops. If you are starting with Tulum, focus on the journey from landing to your stay. Our Yucatán itinerary offers a suggested allocation of nights.
Transfer, bus or rental car?
| Option | When we would consider it | What to establish first |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-arranged transfer | Travelling directly with luggage, as a family or as two couples | Final address, total price, meeting point and delay arrangements |
| Bus with an onward journey | When the timetable fits and an extra connection is acceptable | Departure terminal, arrival station and transport to your stay |
| Rental car | When you will also use it during the holiday or touring trip | Collection, rental terms, parking and return arrangements |
A transfer can be a comfortable choice when you would like little to arrange after landing. Ask for a quote for the whole group, with your luggage and any child-seat requirements. Check whether the service is private or shared, as that affects the arrival experience.
A bus may suit a more flexible journey. Check ADO for the service available for your airport, terminal and date. Treat the arrival station as an intermediate point if you still need to reach your accommodation. Cancún airport operator ASUR’s transport information lists ADO.
Assess a rental car across the whole holiday. A transfer may be simpler for the arrival journey alone; a car may suit several overnight stops and outings. Read our guide to getting around Tulum before booking a car for every day.
The final stretch to your accommodation
Keep the exact address, map pin and arrival instructions together. Give your driver more than the complex name. Agree where you will be dropped off and how you will reach the correct entrance. This also helps when arranging collection for the return journey.
Can Solar is unit 105 in Ensamble. For a future booking, use the final arrival instructions for your chosen rental option. We are not publishing an unconfirmed entrance, journey time or route here. Arrange the journey directly with your chosen operator.
Keep arrival day simple
Your first evening does not need a full itinerary. Have something to eat, unpack and decide later what tomorrow should look like. If a kitchen and outdoor space appeal for that evening, explore the apartment or full apartment at Can Solar.
As a couple expecting to eat out, you may prefer the suite: a bedroom and private bathroom in the same natural style. It has no kitchen and does not include the apartment’s outdoor space or private pool. The full apartment combines both parts for up to four guests; the apartment and suite each sleep two.
Explore the three stay options alongside your arrival plans. Bookings are not open yet; future reservations will be made exclusively through Airbnb.
Plan the return journey separately
Arrange departure collection in its own right. The return flight may call for a different schedule from your arrival. Confirm the pickup time, airport and terminal with the operator and follow your airline’s current instructions. Do not automatically allow the same journey time as on the way in.
