A private Waldorf Astoria Riviera Maya airport transfer takes you from the terminal straight to this mangrove-front resort in Puerto Morelos, no shuttle stops, no shared van, and a fixed price confirmed before you land.
About Waldorf Astoria Riviera Maya
Opened as Hilton’s luxury flagship for the region, Waldorf Astoria Riviera Maya sits on the Puerto Morelos coastline, described by the brand as “a tranquil sanctuary” nestled in mangroves. The resort has 173 rooms and suites, most with ocean views and a private balcony soaking tub. Note for travelers planning ahead: the resort currently welcomes all ages, but is scheduled to transition to an adults-only policy starting January 10, 2027.

Why Puerto Morelos Instead of the Hotel Zone
Puerto Morelos sits about 20 to 30 minutes south of the Cancún Hotel Zone, close enough for an easy transfer but far enough to feel like a genuinely different, quieter destination, real fishing village, a protected reef just offshore, and none of the Hotel Zone’s nightlife noise. It’s the same zone covered in our Cancún zone guide, and it’s where several of the region’s newest luxury openings, Waldorf Astoria included, have chosen to build.
Reserving Your Waldorf Astoria Riviera Maya Airport Transfer
Send your flight number when you book and we confirm the driver’s name, the vehicle and a direct phone number before you fly. The Waldorf sits off the Puerto Morelos access road rather than on Highway 307 itself, so the last few minutes of this run leave the highway entirely and the entrance is easy to miss if the driver does not know it. A delayed flight changes how long he waits, not what you pay: we track the landing, not the itinerary.
Combine Your Airport Pickup with a Tour
Puerto Morelos sits close to some of the closest cenotes to Cancún. See our guide to the best cenotes near Cancún, or ask your driver about adding a stop on the way in or out.
