Getting to Tulum Made Easy: Our Review of the Private Transfer from Tulum Airport
When planning a trip to Tulum, one of the first decisions you face is how to get from the airport to your accommodation. We recently looked into a private transfer service offered by DLUX Transfer, and it’s one of those options that can make your arrival way less stressful—especially after a long flight.

Booking and Confirmation Process
Booking is straightforward. You select your date and time, specify your pickup location—usually Tulum Airport—and tell them how many passengers and luggage you have. Once your reservation is confirmed, you get a confirmation email with all the details. It makes planning easier knowing exactly what to expect.
Arrival at the Airport
When you arrive, your driver will be waiting at the designated meeting point with a DLUX Transfer sign. This simple detail makes finding them easy, especially after a long flight or during busy times. They’ll help with your luggage and escort you to the vehicle, ensuring a smooth transition from plane to pavement.
The Ride: Style and Comfort
The Small SUV is a highlight here. It’s not just practical but also stylish, offering a comfortable spacious interior. The vehicle is air-conditioned, which is a definite plus in the hot Tulum climate. During the drive, your driver will follow the most efficient route, avoiding traffic and ensuring punctuality. The review from Ashley_H summed it up well: “Carlos’s hospitality was top-notch and made the long drive easy.” That kind of attentive service can truly make a difference after an exhausting travel day.
Personalization and Flexibility
One of the standout qualities of this service is its personalized attention. If you want to make a quick stop along the way—say, for a photo op or to pick up a souvenir—the driver is happy to accommodate. This flexibility can turn a simple transfer into a more customized part of your trip.
Arrival in Tulum
Upon reaching your hotel or villa, the driver will stop at the main entrance, helping with luggage again, and wishing you well. This courteous ending to the ride sets a positive tone for your entire stay.
Is It Worth the Price?

At $160 for a group of up to two people, this service isn’t the cheapest option in Tulum. But given the included amenities—bottled water, private vehicle, professional driver, and door-to-door service—the value is quite clear for those who prioritize comfort and convenience. For solo travelers or couples, this might feel like an investment in peace of mind as you start your vacation.
What Do Other Travelers Say?
The glowing review from Ashley_H underlines the high level of service: “Everything was completely seamless and the team highly communicative.” When a service gets consistent praise, it’s usually a good sign it lives up to expectations. The fact that it’s recommended by 100% of reviewers suggests plenty of travelers find it reliable and worth the expense.
Who Is This Transfer Best For?
This service is ideal if you want a stress-free start to your trip or are arriving after a late or early flight when transportation options might be limited. It’s especially suited for travelers who value personalized attention, comfort, and punctuality. If you’re a group that wants to avoid the hassle of taxis or crowded shuttles, or if you’re traveling with luggage—this is a great option.
On the other hand, if you’re budget-conscious and don’t mind shared rides or waiting for public transportation, you might find cheaper alternatives. But keep in mind, the added comfort and ease might justify the premium price for many.
