Awful, seat was fine but connection was awful. Bus was half an hour late and made us pay extra for the missed bus. So 4 hour later on our destination and 220 pesos poorer

Bus 20 minutes late . Then I took the ADO but we just made a weird stop - the driver stopped in the middle of nowhere to buy and eat taco break for 25 minutes . Arrival to Tulum almost 1 h later than scheduled.

Bathroom at departure station wasn’t working so had to go to the PEMEX across the road. Bus seemed older, no pockets on back of seats to store items. Boarding was smooth. Television annoying. Journey was safe & driver attentive.

We waited for 2 hours. The bus never showed. We were eventually asked to get on another bus which was freezing cold!
