Airport Transfers
Private transfers from Manzanillo Airport (ZLO) to hotels and rentals in Manzanillo, Santiago and Las Hadas, and along the coast to Barra de Navidad and Melaque.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Playa de Oro International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
From ZLO, airport transportation in Manzanillo covers the resorts and condos of the Santiago and Manzanillo bays, Las Hadas and the Península de Santiago, downtown Manzanillo, and the Jalisco beach towns of Barra de Navidad and Melaque, with longer rides to Cuyutlán and Colima.
Manzanillo airport transfers start as you leave the arrivals area: your driver meets you there after baggage claim, and customs on flights from Los Angeles, Calgary, Dallas/Fort Worth, Phoenix or Houston, and we track your flight so a delay doesn't cost you the pickup. The price is fixed per vehicle before you fly, from sedans for couples to vans for families and groups.
Each Manzanillo airport transfer goes door to door, to all-inclusives on Playa de Oro and Santiago, villas at Las Hadas or beach houses in Barra de Navidad and Melaque.
Our Manzanillo airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves as soon as you're through arrivals instead of waiting to fill seats or stopping at other resorts along the bays. There's room for luggage, golf bags and fishing gear, so it suits winter visitors, families and wedding groups.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

Playa de Oro International Airport (ZLO), known as Manzanillo International Airport, sits by the ocean northwest of Manzanillo, near the border with Jalisco. All flights use one passenger terminal, and passengers walk between the aircraft and the building.
On flights from the United States and Canada, many of them winter-season routes, you clear immigration, collect your bags and pass customs before walking out of arrivals.
Manzanillo runs on Central Standard Time (UTC−6) all year.
Name your bay or town. Hotels are spread between Barra de Navidad and Melaque in Jalisco and the Santiago and Manzanillo bays in Colima. Give the hotel or condo name and area when you book.
Gated condos. Many condos and villas on the Península de Santiago and at Las Hadas have a guarded entrance; add the complex name and unit.
Golf and fishing. Declare golf bags, rods and coolers so a vehicle with enough room is assigned.
Entry. International visitors need a valid passport. Carry some pesos for tips and small purchases.
