I bought a ticket to Cancun airport & the driver told me she is going to downtown Cancun. I ended up buying another ticket.

Just remember to add a little time to your trip as one can get caught in backed up traffic caused by a variety of reasons that can't be controlled by ADO

We bought the correct tickets to the Cancun Airport - Terminal 3, however, the e-tickets just said “Cancun” so the driver would not allow us on the bus. The line up was ridiculous to have the ticket corrected - so we had to take a taxi to the Cancun Airport.
