The drive to the airport isn't very log, but they don't want to be responsible for your missed flights.
We had a great day trip to Tulum also. We took the ADO Bus to the Tulum ruins and then a cab to a beach club on the Tulum coast. The beach clubs there are fantastic. Take a look at
this post over in the TUG forums where I documented our day there.
Thanks dioxide45! That's a nicely detailed trip report to Tulum.
I am using Marriott transportation (Prestige), and they did inform me about their 3-hr recommendation, but gave me the option to cut it shorter if I wish. Based on suggestions here, I have booked to arrive at the airport 2 hrs before our flight.
