“The flight was changed because of weather and I let the tour operator know. The communication was extremely poor and I had to send multiple requests to get a response. Even when I arrived at the airport, their communication remained poor. Eventually, I sent them a message requesting they communicate better and that helped. Other than that, the transportation and driver was excellent. The three stars is just for the poor communication. There are plenty of other transportation options from the Cancun airport, so avoid one with poor communication”
