Getting there from the anchor

The R-1 and R-2 public buses run frequently along the main boulevard, offering a very affordable way to reach hotels like Hotel Krystal CancĂșn or InterContinental Presidente Cancun Resort, usually within a 10-minute journey.

Walking between resorts is generally not practical due to the distances and lack of continuous pedestrian pathways directly connecting them along the beach. Plan for these short transfers to maximize your exploration time.

Local colour

Don't underestimate the local bus. It's incredibly cheap and runs 24/7, making it a lifesaver for hopping between resorts without the expense of taxis. You'll see everyone from tourists to locals on it, giving you a small slice of everyday Cancun life.

Just make sure you have small pesos handy for the fare. Also, many of the larger resorts, even if you're not staying there, offer day passes.

Local knowledge

Day Passes

Many of the upscale resorts like Le Blanc Spa Resort Cancun offer day passes. If you're curious about their amenities or just want a change of scenery for a day, investigate these options. It's a great way to sample luxury without booking a full stay.

Bus Etiquette
