If you are looking to travel between resorts and attractions but you do not want to rent a car, consider booking a hotel that is located near one of the bus stops of the Riviera Maya bus service, such as the Mi Casa Es Tu Casa. This local bus service links many of the different resorts in theus Riviera Maya area, and it is very affordable to use.
