According to: Cozumel Insider - Cozumel Transportation - Taxi, Bus, Ferry, and Rental Car Information - Cozumelinsider
"Transporation options OUT OF THE COZUMEL AIRPORT ARE LIMITED. There is one Airport Taxi Shuttle union (syndicato) with 100% control of transporting passengers OUT of the airport. As a result of this taxi union control, it goes without saying that there are NO COURTESY SHUTTLE SERVICES available from hotels. Hotels or accommodation providers may agree to GREET passengers at the airport and assist with the logistics of baggage transport but NOT the transport of passengers."
One of the definition of "syndicato" (or "syndicate") is: "a group, combination, or association of gangsters controlling organized crime or one type of crime, especially in one region of the country."
Read this one travelers's post:
Beware of Olympus Tours and Cozumel Airport Taxi Service
I have used the shuttle service on Cozumel many many times with absolutely no problems, other than the time I stupidly left my carry-on on the shuttle with my passport, wallet, credit cards, all my cash, traveler's checks, prescription dive mask, regulator, cameras, dive computers, and keys in it. I caught a cab back to the airport, and the shuttle driver saw me and called me over to his shuttle (I didn't know which one it was) and showed me my bag. He then gave me a free ride back to my hotel. Of course, I tipped him generously.
Why do you persist in trying to make a mountain out of this molehill? If you don't like the way things are on Cozumel, go somewhere else. :cool2:
