Travel Note
When you book your trip, make sure to pay the $50 each way for the shuttle service! Playa del Carmen is about an hour away from Cancun, which will be easiest to fly into. After you go through customs in the airport, you will walk out into the parking lot for transportation. Look for people with white shirts and pink shoulders, they're called MTS. This will be the shuttle that takes you to the RIU Yucatan. Grab a beer/margarita in the parking lot while you wait :)
