I love the comfort of the bus. I didn’t like that there was no movie with English subtitles and the driver made all announcements in Spanish and I didn’t understand what he was saying.

Bus was very clean and on time. Driver polite and Ado staff at airport were helpful. Relaxing transfer from airport to Merida. Better signage at the airport to show where to get the bus would be helpful.
