Another option is CARM  http://www.cancunandrivieramaya.com/ 

This is a private van and is very reasonable if your party is 4 people or more since they charge a flat rate for the entire van. They charge somewhere in the range of $80.00 for up to 4 people.  Either company will pick you up at airport and deliver you to Gran Puerto to catch the ferry to Isla and likewise pick you back up and Gran Puerto and deliver you to the airport for your return flight.

Ferry ride to island is approximately 15 minutes and a gorgeous ride; it will cost $380 pesos per person each way roughly $18.00 US and they accept US currency and Visa. You will purchase a ticket at the ferry dock. There is a little OXXO market (7-11) there to grab a soda or beer for your ride over to Isla

Luggage – the people from your transportation company and the ferry docks will assist you with loading and unloading your luggage at both locations. I normally tip these people 100 pesos for their kind assistance.

I recommend you get a map from Laura at www.mapchick.com she has a great map with all the things to do and very specific to Isla Mujeres she charges $15.00 for the map plus shipping and will mail it right out to you. We have one we left at the house but having your own copy lets you plan in advance where you would like to visit.

There is a large new  Chedraui located by the baseball fields  and there are a couple decent size grocery stores that have most any item you could need one is located downtown and another located in LaGloria. The name is Super AKI. The Island has many Mom-and-Pop grocery stores that carry a variety of items and are located on almost every block. We stop frequently at the Super Ronco on the drive out the Caribbean side of the island. The fresh juice here is great and they have a bit of almost everything here.
