Handy hints to help you hit the ground running in Mexico.
The cheapest way to get around Cancun is by bus. Buses run frequently throughout the day and cover both tourist areas and regions where locals live. Taxis are also available widely across Cancun, but be aware that prices may vary if taking a taxi from the street rather than booking at your hotel.
Before you set off, take a look at Cancun International Airport guide.
Plus, you can secure your holiday with a limited-time lower deposit of just £75pp*, and pay the rest your way.
