Getting to the Lodge: To reach Mayazul Lodge, you will need to arrange travel to and from Cancún International Airport (CUN) or Tulum Felipe Carrillo Puerto International Airport (TQO).
Cancún International(CUN) – approximately 107 miles to the lodge
Tulum International Airport (TQO) – approximately 60 miles and nearly an hour closer to the lodge.
Both airports have multiple direct flights from the U.S.A or other countries as well as an option to connect through Mexico City. There are multiple non-stop flights from Dallas/Ft. Worth/Miami (American Airlines), Houston/Denver (United), Atlanta (Delta), and many more. Southwest Airlines services Cancún but not Tulum.
Please schedule flights to arrive before 1:00 PM in Cancun or 2:00 PM in Tulum. The transfer will depart after the last arriving angler is ready to depart for the lodge.
Arrival Day:
Assuming all anglers arrive before 1:00 PM in Cancun or 2:00 PM in Tulum, you will be transferred part way (2 hours from Cancún and 1 hour from Tulum) by air-conditioned van, and part way (1 hour) by boat (weather permitting).
Departure Day:
Please plan to book your departure flight no earlier than 12:00 PM from Tulum or 2:00 PM from Cancun.
Documentation Requirements:
To enter Mexico, all guests are required to have the following:
- Passport: Valid for the duration of your trip.
Travel Cash:
As a guideline we recommend that each guest travel with approximately $1,100 - $1,500 for staff & guide gratuities, the on-site fly shop, and other potential incidentals.
Credit Cards:
The lodge accepts Visa/MasterCard/American Express. Please check with your credit card supplier for international transaction fees.
Gratuities:
The following are guidelines, and all gratuities are up to the discretion of the individual guest. As the lodge rotates guides each day, guides appreciate being given gratuities at the end of each fishing day. However, it is also acceptable to give the total amount to the lodge managers at the end of your stay. House gratuities can be left with the lodge manager at the end of your stay.
Guides: $75 per person or $150 per guide per day.
House staff: $75 per person per day.
Transfer drivers: $5-10 per transfer
***If you are attending the Permit School with Simon Gawesworth, we recommend an instructor gratuity of $75 - $100 per day/per instructor per guest.***
