Isla Cozumel Offers Pickup Service Throughout the Riviera Maya

Jan. 2, 2013 - PRLog -- It's all about the service! Isla Cozumel (http://www.CozumelVisitorsGuide.com) is accessible to the Riviera Maya, which is also referred to as the "mainland", through ferry service from Playa del Carmen. However, the Riviera Maya covers everything south of Cancun all the way to Tulum. That's about 100 miles. Playa del Carmen is pretty much in the middle of the spand. So for hotel guests wanting to visit Isla Cozumel for the day, they may have to travel up to 50 miles to Playa del Carmen before they can board the ferry. Getting to Playa del Carmen: Options include an expensive taxi ride (each way) or renting a car which can be equally expensive and then you'll have to park the vehicle for an entire day where you won't be using it. Thankfully, the Isla Cozumel Highlights Day Pass includes optional pickup and drop off service to all major hotels between Cancun and Tulum. Service actually reaches to Cancun, with a meeting point at Margaritaville, which is in Cancun's hotel zone.

When guests book their online reservation for an Isla Cozumel Highlights Day Pass (http://www.IslaCozumelDayPass.com/highlights), they can choose the hotel pickup service for $20.00 usd per person. The price includes pickup and drop off and is the same regardless of your hotel's location. The purchased voucher will include a pickup time at their hotel's motor lobby approximate pickup times can be seen here: http://islacozumeldaypass.com/osc/pickup_times.php) where they will board the van with their tour guide already on board. The tour guide will escort them onto the ferry as well as throughout the day aboard the safari transport truck during the island tour. The tour guide will also go in the water with guests during the snorkeling part of the day's adventure.

The pickup service is not suggested for guests staying in or near Playa del Carmen. Most hotels in Playa del Carmen are within walking distance to the ferry pier. Neighboring Playacar is a short taxi ride away but some guests still prefer to be greeted at the hotel lobby by their tour guide. After all, it's all about the service.
