What should I know about check-in and getting to the hotel?
Check-in begins at 3:00 PM. Bring a photo ID and a credit card, and the name on the booking must match the guest checking in, since name changes are not permitted. At least one person aged 21 or older must be in each room. Cancún International Airport is about 55 km away, usually a 45–55 minute drive. Pets and service animals are not allowed.
