Best time to visit Cancun from India
December through April is the peak season with dry weather, temperatures of 24C to 30C, and the best sea conditions. March brings spring break crowds and higher prices. May through November is the wet season with possible tropical storms and hurricanes (peak June to October). However, room prices drop significantly and the sea remains warm. Indian families particularly love Cancun in December and January for the warm weather during Indian holiday periods.
Airport and Transit Connectivity
Cancun International Airport (CUN) is one of Mexico's busiest airports. Terminals 2, 3, and 4 handle international flights and all have 4G coverage. Terminal 2 is the oldest and may have less consistent indoor signal. Uber and authorized taxi services operate from the airport.
Uber requires booking from inside the terminal on the official Uber app, which needs a live data connection. The R-1 and R-2 bus routes run from Puerto Morelos to Playa del Carmen and pass through downtown Cancun and the Hotel Zone.
ADO buses connect Cancun to Playa del Carmen, Tulum, and Merida with 4G available at outdoor stops. No metro or tram exists in Cancun. Getting around relies on taxis, Uber, and hotel shuttles.
Indian travellers should make sure their eSIM is active before landing to use maps and transport apps on arrival.

Cat
On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
