ADO Conecta Tulum Playa del Carmen recent customer reviews
They changed the tickets on us moments before we were supposed to board and we weren't able to board the bus. As a result we almost missed our boat and had to find a taxi that charged us an arm and a leg in order to make it to our boat in time.
