We got through bags and security fast, we were done by 12:20. We came out and met with their so called agents. We waited till 2pm to have someone pick us up, after I had to call their supervisor and argue with him. Yes he decided to call us lairs. That we lied about what time we got there. Why would I lie?? We sat there for 1:30 while his amazing agents kept looking at us, and scratching their heads. So naturally we were frustrated yes, so we called their operating system. I mean, I have never waited that long at Cancun airport to be picked up....Pick up on December 7th. No one was there, we just hopped in another shuttle company's van, with an amazing professional driver who was there on time actually, to pick up his clients. So basically we paid and we did not even get a ride back. Scammers and remember, their "supervisor" on the phone will argue with you, turn things on you and say It's YOUR fault! He also told me that the MTS agents were not his employees???Then who are your employees and where are they and why are they not doing their work?? Joke.
