Tips Summarized 1. It’s similar to a natural park or a zoo, rather than an excursion 2. Not the Disney of Mexico, no roller coaster rides, it’s a natural park 3. Pricey 4. Misleading website pictures; the water in the pictures looks more vibrant in pictures than in person 5. Photo pass pros & cons 6. Bring walking shoes & water shoes 7. Bring eco-friendly bug spray & sun screen 8. Go to the live night show 9. Plan out your day 10. Family park; something for adults & kids to enjoy

Thank you for your tips. Especially the shoe tips. Being able to take off water shoes and wear something else will help give our feet a break.

Well stay at the Occidental Xcaret next door and upgrade to a UXX room to get unlimited access to Xcaret during your stay (Probably around $200 pp) much better value. We’ve been twice and are arranging another visit next year (family group from the UK) love it!

Thank you so much for the tips, it was very informative. I am going in June for our honeymoon and I am super excited but I was afraid of it not being as vibrant and colorful as it seems on social media haha, thanks for the warning! I also agree with the photopass situation... its going to be packed in those specific areas of the pictures, yikes...

@UCniEy0kiYMgP5RVnS1BLU3Q it includes unlimited access to only Xcaret park during your stay (we stayed 2 weeks), I think it also included a 10% discount on food and drinks - but you can visit after breakfast one day and come back to the hotel for lunch, then another day swim the rivers in the afternoon - then another day go see the extravaganza night show. We thought it was much better having a wander around most days instead of cramming it all in. There are two entrances for hotel guests to access the park, one by the beach and one near the reception. You also get a discount on some of the extra activities. I paid $50 to swim with sharks! Enjoy

I like the idea of bringing walking shoes. Blisters would suck! If I have a little backpack to carry my shoes and other things in (like water bottle) are there lockers at each water activity to store the backpack in?
@lifesatrip29002 жыл бұрын
Nope! Lockers are located in one central location. But river swims have a really neat system of retriving any items you have on hand. You simply leave your item in a locked bag in the beginning of swim and pick it up with your tag number at the end of the swim.

Did they let you buy the photo package And extra excursions with card? Or did they only take cash? Also did the charge extra for using car? About How much was the picture packet?? Sorry I’m going in two week and just trying to be extra prepared! Also did they consider crocs as water shoes
@lifesatrip29003 жыл бұрын
Yes we purchased our excursion with card. The photo pass we bought with our ticket at home online which was also with card. No extra charges with card. The photo pass was about $75 or free if your staying at xcaret hotel. I have no idea if they consider crocs as water shoes. Hope this helps!
