AU Palenque Bacalar recent customer reviews

There was no toilet, no tv/ movie. Just 12+ hours with 1 and a half stops crazy experience. Was the worst ride I’ve had yet in Mexico. Absolutely no internet. Then just dropped off at the side of the road. Terrible experience. The driver had to do everything himself. 3 jobs at once. With only a 15 min stop all the way.

Good effort but I hope for more next time. The busses should have bathrooms and the AC doesn't need to be on full blast all night.
