Arrival and Departure from Cancun Airport

Updated February 12, 2024 - The Visitax has been around for about 3 years but was poorly communicated or collected. Mexico is getting more serious about this and will be taking steps to charge a penalty if you don't pay it. The charge is around $15 USD for each person, including children. THERE ARE MANY SCAMMER WEBSITES. Be sure you are using the right one.

There are two airports that service Playa del Carmen. Cancun Cozumel I strongly recommend you book to Cancun. With Cozumel, it gets more complicated. You need to get transportation to the ferry dock, then buy a ferry ticket, and then the good news is you can walk to the condo because we are so close the the dock. But, if the seas are rough, they will suspend ferry traffic. And you don't know how long that will last.

We are located in Fase 1 of Playacar. We are just a few blocks from downtown Playa del Carmen in a gated community.

Wow, that's going to make a big difference! I shudder to think about all of the construction we'll have to put up with until it's done. What do you think of it?
