Where is Mérida International Airport?
Mérida International Airport, officially Manuel Crescencio Rejón International Airport, is on the Mérida–Umán highway southwest of Mérida. Its airport codes are MID and MMMD. The airport is at kilometer 4.5 of the highway.
The airport is outside the city centre, so plan your onward trip around your destination rather than assuming the bus will take you directly there. The Va y Ven airport route serves several central Mérida stops, but it does not include a stop at Hacienda Santa Cruz.
How do you drive from MID to the hotel?
The reported drive from MID to the hotel takes about 37 minutes. Other reported drive times range from 10 to 20 minutes, so confirm the journey time when arranging your transfer.
Rental-car counters are on the arrivals floor beside baggage claim. MÁS Rent A Car has an airport location in the rental-car area, with a module at the baggage-claim exit, and is open 24 hours from Monday through Sunday. If you plan to drive, confirm the current pickup arrangements with your chosen rental company before setting off.
The address is Calle 88 Sur, Santa Cruz Palomeque. You can find a five-star hotel in Santa Cruz Palomeque here.
What are the taxi and transfer options?
Authorized airport taxis use a prepaid ticket system: buy your ticket at the counter inside the arrivals area before heading to the taxi, rather than paying the driver directly. Fares vary by destination zone: MXN 230–290 for a car and MXN 350–430 for a van.
Ask the counter for the fare before purchasing, and confirm that the ticket covers your destination. For a private transfer arranged in advance, confirm the pickup point and price directly with the provider. Contact numbers are (999) 254 05 41 and (999) 271 84 85, and the email address is info@haciendasantacruz.com.
Can you take public transport from the airport?
The Va y Ven airport bus connects MID with stops including the ADO terminal, Parque Santa Lucía, Paseo 60, Fiesta Americana and the Convention Center. It does not include a stop at the hotel, so you would need to arrange another way to complete the trip from a bus stop.
The fare is MXN 45, with MXN 12 fares for students and older adults. Tickets are available at ADO counters inside the airport. Check the official site before you go for current fares, routes and ticket arrangements.
What should you confirm before arrival?
Confirm lodging and arrival arrangements directly before travelling. Hacienda Santa Cruz is described as a private residence offered for sale, while its tourism listing describes hotel, restaurant and pool amenities. Verify that it is currently accepting guests and confirm your booking details before arranging transport.
If you are continuing into central Mérida after arrival, the drive from the hotel to the city centre is about 27 minutes. A one-day Mérida itinerary from the historic centre to Paseo de Montejo offers a route through those areas.
