Ratings and Reviews (30)
Service was very good apart from the cancun bus station dispatcher (guy stood at the door who told people what bus to get) he unfortunately made us miss our first bus by telling us it wasn’t here yet
My plane arrived earlier than planned, and I asked the person at the counter and the driver if I could take the 5:30pm bus to Playa instead of waiting for the 6pm one. They didn’t even try to accommodate me and just said no, even after I showed them that there was clearly a lot of empty seats on the 5:30 bus. Very poor customer service!
Nice, fast and efficient bus trip.
The only issue is the terminal in Cancun. I will call i chaotic, employees stood in the gate yelling which bus next, in Spanish. Everyone went to the gate to show their ticket, afraid of loosing their bus
Well, the departure trip wasn't ANYWHERE!? Staff (when asked 1HOUR in advance) said it will be announced BUT IT WASN'T! No announcements & not on the screen! Only 1 security (when asked 2 minutes before departure) said: "Yes, there quick"! Then everyone else followed (around 10 people)!
Purchasing tickets online is very convenient and simple. The whole ADO operation is highly professional. The staff is efficient and runs a smooth logistical system. The busses are comfortable and relaxing. I recommended using this service for transferring between locations while in Mexico.
