jlcd66 Posted March 11, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 11, 2015 We will be arriving on the Oasis of the Seas. I have read widely varying reports of the cost to get to and from Papitos via taxi. Do not want to book our transport through them as it limits the time to 5 hours including travel time. Has anyone done this recently and what was the cost?

Rare crewsweeper Posted March 12, 2015 #2 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) Taxi's are zoned on Cozumel. Based on rates from Puerta Maya (practically next door to the International Pier where Oasis of the Seas docks), the cost of a taxi to the South Point (where Papitos is) is current 720 MXP (around $55 at current exchange rates) one way per taxi for 1-4 passengers. For 6-8 passengers it's 1140 MXP ($88). Not sure how many in your party, but if just 2, you'll be out $110+ RT to get there and back. Figure that into the costs of DIY versus using their transportation option. Additionally, not sure if taxis hang around for passengers like at other beaches since Papitos is inside of the ecological preserve which requires an entrance fee (included in the Papitos charge, I hear).

AmyHernandez Posted March 14, 2015 #3 Share Posted March 14, 2015 We booked a driver through cozumel insider dot com but we have a large group going and also wanted to stay longer. He was very helpful and found us a bus that would take all of us. I was also concerned about the limited amount of time actually spent there. Let us know what you decide. We will be going in June.

bluegirlum Posted March 24, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 24, 2015 We went to Papito's a few weeks ago. We did the 5 hour snorkel package. They asked us when we got there if we wanted to stay longer. All of us agreed that we'd like to stay an extra hour, so we did. They just charged us all an extra $10. Super easy and so worth it. They'll definitely work with you.

jmcgee99 Posted March 24, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 24, 2015 We took taxi from Puerta Maya (Carnival Pier) to Papitos. $40 each way. Taxi driver and I agreed when to pick us back up (2 hrs). He was only 10 minutes late. He asked for no money until we were returned to a restaurant downtown. Fare was $88 dollars at that point. He did sidetrip us through some reseller of the Punta Sur pass, but it was same price as at the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
