Taxis in the Riviera Maya charge fixed fares by zone rather than using a meter. These are the official rates set by the local taxi drivers’ union (Sindicato de Taxistas Lázaro Cárdenas) for the ride from Playa del Carmen to Playa del Secreto:
- Standard taxi (1–4 passengers): 350–450 MXN
- Van or large vehicle (5–7 passengers): 700–900 MXN
Good to know
- Always confirm and agree on the flat fare with the driver before boarding.
- Rates apply from central Playa del Carmen or from designated taxi stands (sitios).
- Taxi dispatch requests by phone or through a hotel concierge may carry a small surcharge of 10–20 MXN.
- Pay in Mexican pesos (MXN) if you can. Drivers apply unfavorable exchange rates when they are paid in USD or other currencies.
Private transfer from Cancún Airport
A private van from Cancún Airport to Playa del Secreto, for up to 9 guests, costs $60 USD (1,200 MXN).
Fares are indicative and can change, so please confirm the price when you book.
