Dated cost examples
Six dated, itemised examples from 2026-11-10 to 2026-11-16: 6 nights and 7 days for two adults sharing one room, which is 14 person-days. Prices are as observed in September 2026, cover ground costs only, and are not multiplied out to other party sizes or trip lengths.
Dated planning estimate for two adults sharing one room, 10–16 November 2026, seven days/six nights. Flights excluded. Actual prices, availability, taxes and transport timing may differ; see the assumptions.
The luxury sample, Iberostar Selection Coral, is an adults-only area: it is not a recommendation for families with children. Iberostar's effective 2.5% lodging charge is the property's displayed charge, not a general statutory rate. Mid-range and luxury are all-inclusive products; the only food added is bought on arrival and departure days plus optional outside dinners, and exact plan terms for these November dates were not exposed.

Practical notes
Use CUN and the separately priced private Hotel Zone round trip; ordinary buses are local transport. The Maya Museum ticket includes San Miguel i to, so do not add a second site ticket. Emporio is the lower-cost hotel sample with independently purchased food. Mid-range Iberostar Selection and premium adults-only Coral use their published all-inclusive products: no extra middle-day food allowance, with separately chosen food outside the resort on arrival/departure days. The environmental fee and VISITAX are distinct charges, each included once in the planning model. Preserve any existing VISITAX receipt. The room examples do not establish passport eligibility or include airfare.
Limits of these examples
A planning estimate that combines a dated room rate with separately published tax terms; not a November booking invoice. Room category, bedding, cancellation and the exact board-plan terms were not shown; the resort tiers are modelled as all-inclusive, so confirm what your quote includes. Iberostar's 2.5% is the property's displayed effective charge, not a general statutory lodging-tax rate, and bills may split it differently. These lines replace the supplier's tax total rather than adding to it. Arrival- and departure-day food is bought outside the resort. Coral is adults-only, so no child stay is priced. The VISITAX amount is the published figure; optional agent fees are excluded, so check your receipt to avoid paying twice. Bus fares rely on a recent secondary source, and food is a city reference. Optional excursions, the Riviera Maya and tips are not included.
