Transportation

Transportation to the Mar de Jade

The closest major airport is Gustavo Diaz Ordaz International Airport, Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco. Airport code: PVR. All major US carriers (Alaska, American, United, Southwest, Frontier) as well as Mexican, Canadian and some European charter flights serve Puerto Vallarta. There are many daily non-stop and connecting flights from US, Canadian and Mexican major cities.

Mar de Jade will arrange transportation to/from the airport with a trusted company if you email the following information to taxi@mardejade.com • Reservation name or number. • Number of people traveling. • Airline & flight number. • Arrival date and time • Departure date, time and connection city But it is a little early to do this - we will send an email out a few months before the workshop reminding you to do this. It is highly recommended that you let Mar de Jade handle the shuttle to and from the resort. It much cheaper if you share the ride with others - with 8 passengers, the cost was about $25.00.
