You have to take a shuttle from the airport to your hotel. No taxi's unless you want to haul your gear out to the main road. You will be able to get a taxi BACK to the airport but not FROM the airport.
I, too, have a question! We also arrive on Saturday. On all of our previous trips we had transfer vouchers and it was a breeze. This time we are on our own! Where do we purchase a shuttle ticket? How much do they cost? We will be staying at Caribe Blu.

There are no taxis at the airport instead there are vans that take multiple people to multiple hotels. After you get through customs there is a window to the far left that you buy your tickets. After you have a ticket just step outside and someone will direct you to a van. It really easy, and the ride is around $10 if I remember correctly.Firerescueguy:

Eight bucks, I'm pretty sure. After you pass through Customs (red light/green light), turn left and look for the ticket booth. It's pretty obvious.
The shuttle price varies depending on the hotel. $8-10 sounds about right for Caribe Blu. Less for hotels downtown, more for the hotels way down south.
As previously posted, it's easy. Just look confused and someone will point the way. Or follow someone who looks less confused than you feel!
Welcome, in advance, to Cozumel!

You can get a taxi if you do haul the gear to the road... it's about a city block walk to the right after you walk out the doors. Just walk past the parking lot and the parking gate and you're almost there. Once again, go to your right... just ignore all the time share salesmen.d56nut:
Next time that's what I will do if i don't get picked up. It will be much quicker than waiting for the van to fill up and cheaper too.

Michelle,
I'm on the same plane and I know how to do it. I will show you the booth. If my divemaster is not busy he will pick me up (and maybe you) if he has the bigger car. If not Nancy and I will walk to the street for a cab as we just have carry on with wheels. See you in Charlotte.
Anyone else coming in on US Air from Charlotte at 1:30 Just look for a fat balding guy (thats me with my dive buddy in the picture to the left)53 years old with a wife with short white hair. We both will have Cozumel linen jackets. I'll be glad to help.

I, for one, don't mind the shuttle. I usually am outa there pretty fast, and saving a few bucks isn't worth the 100 yd schlep to the street, especially seeing as how "traveling light" doesn't seem to be in our vocabulary. YMMV, of course.

It wasn't in ours either... but we got lucky, Christi was on our flight! Actually we sat next to her on the flight from Houston. Mago had left her truck right out front for us. Now we're spoiled!ggunn:
My point is, if you can easily manage your luggage, a taxi is a definite possibility.
