Just to contribute my two cents. The bus system is great. We used it the entire time we were in Cancun which was for two weeks last June. We did have a shuttle driver pick us up to go to the Ceynotes and some of the ruins. But, the rest of the time, we used the bus and had zero issues. As far as the groceries go, Soriana does deliver, but they stop after 4 PM (if memory serves me right). I also found the selection very limiting or a small amount of choices. It was ok to pick up on restock items. But, we cook a good deal and are "foodies".
I found the best grocery was the one 5-6 bus stops down from the resort in the curve (I just can't remember the name). We packed a large suitcase on the way and took a taxi back (it was cheap maybe $6.00). Ask about the taxi fare in advance. This was a large supermarket with much more of the kind of selections we are used to. It's multi-floored. Like I said, I'm a foodie and we had other family there so we grilled/cooked a good deal compared to most people's vacation experiences. We also liked the Costco for meat and a large birthday cake. That was a long bus ride into downtown and then walking several blocks (we had small kids in tow and never had an issue).
On Soriano. you have to go into a mall to find it. It's on the same side of the street as the resort. I couldn't find it at first and had to ask locals where to find it (they didn't speak English and my Spanish is no muy bueno. So, make sure you look up directions to get there as we did walk around a bit trying to locate the market. The liquor store is close by across the street too. So, it definitely helped to go and restock a few items and replenish our liquor supply.
