Cancun · Mexico
Staying online in Cancun
Cancún the hotel zone is a strip. The trip people remember is a ferry or a collectivo away, and those do not wait while your phone finds wifi.
Before you land
The airport is a shuttle, a taxi, or a rental car. Install first. The hotel zone and downtown are not the same place, and the transfer desk assumes you know which one you booked.
Getting around
Buses run the hotel zone. Ferries to Isla Mujeres and boats toward the ruins are timed. A rental car for the day is a map problem the whole way.
Where the data actually goes
The zone itself is hotels and a bus. Downtown, Isla Mujeres, and a ruins day are the plans that need data. Beach clubs want a reservation QR.
Which plan to buy
A Mexico 10GB week covers the zone and the day trips. A day pass only fits a one-night connection.
Practical notes
USD is widely taken and a poor habit; cards work in the zone. Plugs are type A and B. Screenshot the ferry time.
