Personal experience-- the ADO Bus:

". . .A couple of months ago I emailed you to ask questions about the bus schedule from Cancun to Mahahual. Just want to let you know I did it and it was a piece of cake. . .

Since my plane arrived in Cancun in late afternoon, I went to Playa on the direct first class ADO bus from the airport (There is an ADO terminal inside) and spent the night at a little place in Playa. The next morning I walked back to the ADO station and took the direct first class ADO bus to Mahahual. It leaves Playa at 8:20 and arrives about 12:30 in Mahahual with brief stops in Tulum, Carrillo Puerto (love those Salbutes), and Limones. Double check that 12:30 arrival time if you are passing this info on. The same morning bus also leaves Cancun about an hour earlier but I figured spending the night in Playa was a lot more pleasant than in downtown Cancun. Could walk to hotel from bus station and to beach and out to dinner. There are 2 other direct buses from Cancun to Mahahual but they involve traveling during the night. Not my style. As far as the return, I went from Limones on the bus from Chetumal so I don't know the Mahahual schedule but the exciting thing to me is that it can be done very easily. Buses are so clean, comfortable, and cheap.

The vast majority of your clients rent cars as my family did the 2 years we came, but there might be someone who wants the tranquility of the Beach Garden without the expense and hassle involved in car rental.

For some reason they don't yet list the Cancun - Mahahual direct bus online but it exists. "
