Desire Resort Forums

Hi Folks. Just booked our trip to Pearl & not sure if we should book a taxi now via the Pearl web site or wait until we reach the airport? Is it safe to just roll up & try to get one? How much does it cost?
Only 7 months to go! LOL

I'd book the round trip they offer in a private sub. Well worth it.

Thanks Honeycouple. I think we'll do that

USA Transfers (use the link here on this forum) comes highly recommended and we've reserved with them for our first trip coming in Sept.

Apparently, the taxi situation at the airport is a bit chaotic with timeshare and other scammers trying to get you to go with them. I would be leery of picking someone at random in that situation. Having someone there that you are already signed up with seems like a good idea to us.

Good luck.

Fellow Brits! Don't just rock up and expect not to get ripped off. Highly recommend booking with USA Transfers (use link on this site). Always safe, reliable and cost effective. Approx $60 round trip off the top of my head.

Take a taxi !! 450 pesos and 300 pesos back aprox. But you must tell them what you are willing to pay don't go with the first price they give you.....

Is the question transportation from Cancun airport or from another resort in Cancun ?

These are two different animals and a correct answer depends on knowing where you are starting from....

I was talking of airport to desire....that is why first way is more than the second back to airport.

FYI - a taxi from Desire RM to the Cancun airport, at the current 2014 posted taxi rates, is 450 pesos (or for those that use USD =$45)

Also, fyi normal taxis are not allowed to pick up fares from Cancun Airport.

Trust me in this one, one thing is what is allowed publicly and another thing is what you can do.

Thanks all. We're going to book through the USA Transfers. Best to feel safe than sorry eh! Just over 6 months to go and counting

Wise choice!

Corollary to this thread - how much is a taxi from the resort into Cancun for a day trip?

Current taxi rate one way from Desire RM to Cancun centro or the Cancun HZ is 450 pesos or $45 USD depending on how you pay

Taxi rate from Pearl would be a bit higher - you can check the current rate at the resort, it's usually posted just at the lobby entrance from the driveway.
