REEF FUTURES HOTEL & TRAVEL
The discounted transportation and the discounted room block has closed.
If you still need transportation from the airport to Iberostar Paraiso, there are taxi and transport options in the Cancun airport to Iberostar Paraiso. If booking at the airport, make sure to book with a verified vendor inside of the airport. You can book your return to the airport at the World 2 Meet desk at the hotel.
Two primary hotels within the Iberostar Paraiso complex were available at discounted rates for Reef Futures participants - the Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach and Iberostar Waves Paraiso del Mar (do NOT use these links to book - use the "Book Your Room" button above). These hotels are all-inclusive properties meaning that ALL food and beverage expenses are included in the room rate.
Please email groupreservations.mx@iberostar.com for assistance or to make changes to your request.

Local Attendees - Property Day Pass for Iberostar Paraiso Complex
Attendees local to Tulum, Playa del Carmen, Puerto Morales, and Cancún that will be traveling daily from their homes to/from the conference will be issued property day passes at no cost. You will be required to show your local I.D. each day when you check-in for your pass.
Attendees who are not staying onsite at one of the Iberostar Paraiso hotels, and are not local to the area, are required to purchase a property pass at a discounted rate of $69 USD per attendee / per day if you intend to leave the conference center. If you do not require food and beverage amenities (i.e. breakfast and lunch buffets), and will remain in the conference center during the day, you do not need a pass.
Why do I need a property pass?
The pass provides the attendee with full property access, and access to the same food & beverage amenities available to attendees staying on the property (breakfast, lunch, dinner, beverages, etc.). If you will stay in the conference center for the day, you do not need to purchase a pass. Please note that the rate is available to registered Reef Futures attendees only, all others must pay the regular daily pass rate of the property.
Iberostar Paraiso Complex, Riviera Maya

Travel to Iberostar Paraiso
The closest major airport to the meeting venue is Cancun International Airport (CUN). Reef Futures will be working with World 2 Meet travel service for attendees to book their own shuttle from/to Cancun International Airport to the Iberostar Paraiso complex, about a 45 minute drive. Please use this link or the button above to book your shuttle. One way rates are USD $40 and round-trip rates are USD $75.
The Tulum International Airport (TQO), also known as the Felipe Carrillo Puerto International Airport (TQO), is another option for air travel, about a 2 hour drive. Please note that the airport is relatively new and the infrastructure between Tulum and Playa Paraiso is less developed. Reef Futures shuttles will NOT service the Tulum airport.
