Default Trip back to temptations after clubbing

If I understand correctly, the trips out to the clubs are one-way trips. Guests need to get their own transportation back.

Quick questions:

- what's a fair cab fair for coming back to Temptations from the strip?

- will we have any trouble finding cabs in the wee hours after staying out?

You will find PLENTY of cabs when you are ready to return to Temptations.

As for the fare, I'm sure someone else will help you out there. I am usually too tired/drunk to pay attention to what the fare was. That's what my hubby is for, among other things :wink:

You will have no problem finding a cab there are hundreds 24/7.

Best thing to do is not to get a cab that is stationary parked outside the clubs, rather go to the road and flag one down. The cabs that park outside the clubs have to pay extra to do so and charge a higher price because of it.

Really, you should be able to get back to Temptation for around $10. I often pay $10 to get to my house downtown and that is twice as far as TTR. Also cabs are one of the few things you do not have to tip for in Cancun, they always build a tip into their price. Of course, on vacation price doesnt really matter much to many and late night cab rides can be fun anyway

A cab was waiting just at the exit as we left Carlos & Charlies, and we also paid $20 for a $15 fare that Steve says should have been just $10. Guess we could have given that $10 to someone else on our trip.

I have never waited for a cab in Cancun.

Default Cabs

Cabs are everywhere in Cancun, Just like up here in NYC. However, like steve said if you get the cabs right outside of the club , they are more expensive, I usually walk a little ways (wich is usually needed "fresh air") ha ha. I have gotten cabs anywhere from 7 to 10 dollars back to Temptations

Paul & Darcy,


We have always used the bus to get back, 7.5 peso's , we have had sing-a-longs, dancing and they are always great "craic",

And the bus always drops us straight outside TTR. Never been a problem, my only problem is making sure I am heading back in the right direction, usually due to a large amount of alcohol

ops:

We have always enjoyed the bus they usually end up a great laugh.

Cabs are VERY easy to find. A cab really shouldn't cost more than 10 dollars. When you ask a driver "How much to TTR" they will always start at a higher amount. I usually respond with "10 dollars", and from my experience 99% of the time they will take you for that amount. If they say "no" walk away to the next cab and try again. There is always more than one to choose from!

Ok, so questions:

1) One bus route going two directions and it passes the major clubs?
2) Does it run all night?
3) what the heck is "craic" (we look forward to knowing ;P)

Paul & Darcy,

I have sent you a reply to your PM,

for anybody else that is not sure

Yep the buses run all day and night every ten minutes or so - the buses do run up and down the strip, speak to the bus driver and he will tell you when to get off and they run 24/7

And "craic" is a Belfast phrase for "a good laugh" - although it does sound about dodgey, I suppose.

As it is now the 6th of September over here at the minute


only 3 more sleeps.
