What are experiences taking the ADO bus from airport to hotel zone?

Updated Oct 2, 2026

The answer

Travelers report that the ADO bus from the airport to the hotel zone is straightforward and cost-effective. The process involves purchasing a ticket at the airport and boarding the bus directly. Once in the hotel zone, the bus follows a main route with stops approximately every couple of blocks along the upper hotel zone. Travelers staying at hotels not directly on the bus route note that stops are typically within a short walk—some mention catching the bus at the end of their hotel's driveway or walking to the nearest main street where the route runs. Multiple travelers highlight that the ADO option avoids the significantly higher costs associated with airport taxi services, making it a practical choice for budget-conscious visitors.
