A private Now Jade Riviera Cancun airport transfer takes you straight from Cancun International Airport to this family-friendly resort in Puerto Morelos for a fixed rate from $52 USD per vehicle, one way, for 1 to 6 passengers (7 passengers and larger groups are quoted in our booking tool). The drive takes about 20 to 30 minutes in normal traffic. One vehicle, one price, confirmed before you land, no shuttle stops and no shared van.
About Now Jade Riviera Cancun
Now Jade Riviera Cancun sits on the beach in the Riviera Cancun corridor of Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo. Travelers booking today should know one important detail: the resort completed a brand conversion on June 30, 2021, and now operates as Dreams Jade Resort & Spa, part of the Hyatt Inclusive Collection under the Dreams Resorts & Spas brand. Confirmation emails, GPS pins, and hotel signage may show either name, so if your booking still reads “Now Jade,” expect to check in at a resort now branded Dreams Jade.
The property is a family-oriented, all-inclusive resort built around the Unlimited-Luxury concept, meaning meals, drinks, and entertainment are included in the rate. It holds AAA Four Diamond recognition and runs about 550 suites along roughly 2,600 feet of beachfront. Families traveling with kids get a dedicated Explorer’s Club program and a Core Zone Teens Club, plus three heated pools, one of which includes a section built for children, alongside an adults-only tranquility pool for parents who want a quieter stretch of deck chairs.
Dining runs to six à la carte restaurants plus a buffet, a grill, and a café, so a week-long stay rarely means eating at the same table twice. The resort also has a spa built around roughly 4,800 square feet of treatment space, a fitness center, and a mini-golf course, along with a nightly theater show for guests who want entertainment without leaving the property. None of this changes where the resort sits or how you get there, but it explains why families keep booking a property that first opened as Now Jade and now operates under the Dreams name.
Distance & Airport Transfer Time
Zone: Puerto Morelos
Standard Time: 20-30 minutes
Peak Time: up to 40 minutes
Puerto Morelos is roughly 25 kilometers south of Cancun International Airport along Federal Highway 307, making it one of the closer Riviera Maya resort zones to reach. That stretch of highway generally moves better than the approach into Playa del Carmen further south, though traffic can add extra minutes during peak arrival hours or holiday weekends.
Transfer Pricing
From $52 USD per vehicle, one way, for 1 to 6 passengers. Fixed price, no hidden charges, confirmed before you book. 7 passengers and larger groups are quoted in our booking tool. See all current rates.
Why Puerto Morelos Instead of the Hotel Zone
Now Jade Riviera Cancun sits in the same Puerto Morelos zone as sister AMResorts properties along this stretch of coast, including Dreams Riviera Cancun just up the beach. Choosing a resort here trades Cancun Hotel Zone nightlife for a quieter, more residential feel: a working fishing village with its own plaza, a protected reef close enough to snorkel from shore, and noticeably less crowding than the beaches around Playa del Carmen. For a family resort built around kids’ programs and pool time rather than a party scene, that calmer setting fits the audience the resort is designed for. The reef offshore is part of Parque Nacional Arrecife de Puerto Morelos, a protected section of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, and several outfitters in the village run snorkel trips that start within a few minutes of the resort’s beach.
Reserving Your Now Jade Riviera Cancun Airport Transfer
Send your flight number when you book and we confirm the driver, the vehicle and a direct phone number before you fly. One detail worth putting on the booking: the property now trades as Dreams Jade Resort and Spa, so giving us both names saves a conversation at the gate and the minutes that come with it. A delayed flight changes the waiting, not the fare.
Combine Your Airport Pickup with a Cenote Stop
Puerto Morelos sits close to some of the nearest cenotes to Cancun, part of the same Ruta de los Cenotes pictured above. See our guide to the best cenotes near Cancun, or ask your driver about adding a short stop on the way in if the kids want to swim in freshwater before checking in.
How Our Price Compares
Cancun airport taxis and unofficial transfer stands do not run on a meter, and there is no posted rate board to check before you get in. Travelers who land without a reservation commonly pay $20 to $50 more than the going rate for this route, negotiated at the curb after a long flight. Yesmytransfer publishes one fixed price instead: from $52 USD per vehicle, one way, for 1 to 6 passengers, agreed before you ever step into a vehicle.
