You have an airconditioned bus from Cancun (the stop is in front of the
airport, on the right end) to Playa del Carmen every hour or so. Cost
should be less than 10$ (don't remember well). The ride takes less than
hour (say approx. 40min)
From Bus stop in Playa del Carmen you will have to walk some
100-200yards carrying your stuff to the ferry terminal, which is the
biggest problem I think. It would be the same if you take a taxi, so no
sence to spend money on it in my opinion (ok. may be you want to be
10min earlier).
Ferry is again each hour or even each 30min and again another less thna
10$ if my memory is correct. The ride is approx. 40min again.
From Ferry terminal in Cozumel you will have to take a taxi (should be
approx. 5$ if you are not going to the far end of the island).

did they restart the flights? i was there in jan and there were no flights.
it was a pain to take the ferry, but not overly difficult.

Lots of slightly wrong info in these responses. Use the following
link for better info. Cost using the ADO bus and ferry about $19 each
way ($8 for bus and 110 pesos for ferry). Do not buy a roundtrip
ticket on the ferry since they seem to alternate hours every other day
between the two ferry companies.

Bus transit time about 50 minutes and ferry about 35 minutes.

I don't believe that the puddlejumper from Cancun to Cozumel is
operating but I could be wrong.

Taxi fare to southern hotels is in the $15-20 range each way.

Thanks for all the replies.
Ron, the site is quite helpful.
Looks like we would save about $300 each but now we will have to
subtract the additional costs and time and see what is the best value.
Thanks again.
