Booking a Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya airport transfer? This adults-only, five-star all-inclusive sits in Playa del Secreto, between Puerto Morelos and Playa del Carmen, closer to the airport than most people assume. Here’s the real distance, travel time, and what to expect.
Quick Facts About Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya
Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya is an adults-only, all-inclusive resort on Federal Highway 307 at kilometer 311, in Playa del Secreto, a quieter stretch of coast between Puerto Morelos and Playa del Carmen. It’s a five-star property built around couples and honeymoon travel, with swim-up suites and an adults-only atmosphere throughout.
Distance & Travel Time
Direct Distance: About 30–35 km (19–22 miles) from Cancún International Airport.
Standard Time: 25–35 minutes via Highway 307 South.
Peak Time (4–6 PM): 40–50 minutes.
Off-Peak (7–10 AM): 25–30 minutes.
That puts it noticeably closer to the airport than Playa del Carmen proper, and only slightly farther than Puerto Morelos.
Private Transfer Pricing
Because this route falls outside the fixed Hotel Zone rate, pricing depends on your exact pickup details and group size. Request a quote and we’ll confirm your fixed price before you book, so there are no surprises at the curb.

Why Private Transfer Beats the Shuttle Bus
A shared shuttle to Playa del Secreto often means stops at 2–3 other hotels before yours, adding 20–40 minutes to what should be a half-hour ride. A private transfer skips the detours entirely. Your driver takes you straight from arrivals to the resort gate.

Traveling as a Couple or Group
Since this is an adults-only resort, most guests travel as couples or small groups of friends. A private vehicle covers up to 8 passengers at one rate, so a group booking multiple rooms doesn’t need to split into separate cars.
Flight Delays & Cancellations
Your driver tracks your flight number, not your printed itinerary, so an early or late landing is handled automatically at no extra charge.
Combine Your Airport Pickup with a Tour
This stretch of the 307 puts you within reach of Puerto Morelos’ reef and cenotes on one side and Playa del Carmen on the other. Ask your driver about adding a stop, or see our guide to the best Cancun-area tours and activities.
