Driving directions
from Cancún International Airport: Take airport
access road going east and follow signs to Zona Hotelera
and Blvd Kukulcan. Proceed north about seven miles
on Blvd Kukulcan, to the Punta Cancún area.
The Girasol Condo will be on the right, nearly in
front of Sr. Frogs Restaurant.
Authorized taxis, minivans (or collectivos), are the
best way to make the journey from the airport to the
Girasol Condos for around $30 per group (Don't pay
per person) this figure is always changing. Transportation
options can be accessed as you exit the terminal.
We recommend the last booth on the right as you exit
the terminal. The charge is currently $9 per person.
The sign will say "Shuttle & Ground Transportation".
Air conditioned vans and suburbans are used exclusively.
Collectivos provide transportation to downtown Cancún:
$5-$15 USD. A private car service to your condo can
be arranged: more than $36 USD. Rental cars are available
at the airport and on this Web site: more than $36
USD. Note: Only authorized taxis are allowed to transport
guests from the airport to the hotel zone. However,
all taxis can take passengers to the airport from
the Girasol for $15 to $20.
Getting around: The hotel is located within Zona Hotelera,
or Hotel Zone and is within walking distance of the
Cancún Convention Center and plenty of shopping,
restaurants, and bars. Public and private buses connect
the Hotel Zone to downtown: less than $1 USD. Once
downtown, most tourist attractions are easily accessible
by walking. Taxi rates in Cancún are determined

Hotel Zone is $5 USD per ride. Taxis can be rented
