Wife and I will be staying four nights over labor day weekend. Does anyone have recommendations on transportation from CUN? Are we better off renting a car? Pricing?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

There are several recommendations upthread. I would recommend USA Transfers. About $110 per person R/T.

I am going this week so I should be able to help you out.
I am staying my first night at a small boutique (cheap) hotel called Hacienda Boutique. They and others have suggested the ADO bus. http://everythingplayadelcarmen.com/...uide-in-playa/
when I wrote to grand hyatt for their transportation suggestions - even though I mentioned airport bus, they only gave me private limo suggestions.

I have a suite reserved using a DSU. I contacted them and asked about a plunge pool suite and they indicated that we could have one for $50 extra per night. It appears it is the same size suite and only has the plunge pool extra.
We did indicate that we wanted a room close to the ocean with a nice view and away from the noise.
Thoughts?

Thanks. I did read your review. It doesn't seem worth it to pay $50 a day extra for that plunge pool.
I already asked for a suite away from the club
Thank you.

South side is definitely a must due to club noise (11am-6pm)
Try putting on your charm bracelet and go for one of the Executive suites 👍
They have one of the better clubs with an excellent breakfast and a good spread in the evening. The dessert offerings and drink selection is not too shabby either.
