It’s one of the privilege suites if you get the timeshare offering. There may be other ways to book it which I’m not familiar with.

You only went to one of the parks. Xcaret Mexico is more of an eco park. People who say it’s like Disney usually mean the entire Xcaret park system or they’ve gone to Xplor, Xenses, Xavage , Xel-Ha etc. They’ve gone on the zip lines, drove the atvs or whitewater. If you stay at Hotel Xcaret you get access to all of the parks as part of your all inclusive stay and though it’s expensive the inclusion of transfers between parks, hotel and airport besides the regular all inclusive resort amenities makes it well worth the price and the parks have something for everyone.

Staying at the Hotel Xcaret to get all access & the whole experience might be the way to go. The review videos & articles that I referenced and read before booking did not mention this.

We paid $130 per person purchased online. You can book through the resort but the prices weren’t any better when we were there. While I wouldn’t go back, I do feel going at least once is worth it.

Agree totally with what you stated in this review. My wife and I went in 2019 when it was still pretty new, thought the food was great everywhere, grounds were laid out well and immaculate. All kinds of stuff to do on the resort (back then, they even had a batting cage, but I doubt it was used much). On the other hand, service was incosnistent, they werent rude, but far from the best service weve had, and we were in Privilege. We had two butlers and may have seen them three times between both. The way the buildings are separated and the number of options you have for pools and daytime places to hang out may be good for choices, but I agree that it hinders a community feel and meeting new people. And, you are spot on with the constant upselling and the push for the H10 tour. But I feel thats the case with the Cancun/Riveria Maya in general...you are being sold or hustled from the moment you get through customs until you arrive at the airport to depart for home. We are going back in two months,

Very accurate review.... Was at this resort in 2023. Good resort, not great. Almost no beach. Could be deal breaker for most. Only ate at the beach restaurant once. Usually long lines to get seated. Ended up walking all the way back to buffet restaurant. There 5 pools, but you don't have access to all the pools. Made the mistake of not booking El Beso "adults only building". Nice walking narrow/long resort.

Great review, thank you! I'm coming solo mid April from Vancouver. I'll totally join those crazy Canucks in the el best pool singing my ass off and doing shots! can you eat like a second entree or appetizer at the Ala carte restaurants? and what was the dress code like at blue moon? I read "dress shoes". I have no intention of bringing dress shoes to Mexico. nikes or vans ok? When do you get access to the app, and how did you book transport to and from the airport? thank you!
@LetsGoPhill
@LetsGoPhill 7 күн бұрын
Tennis shoes would be fine (from my experience) but that can always change. I think the goal for most dress codes is to keep an upscale feel to the place just don’t ruin the vibe and I think you’ll be fine. We pre booked transport separately, so I couldn’t answer that one.

If you saw all the reviews regarding Xcaret then you should have known not to expect a mechanical ride amusement park like Disneyland. Xcaret is compared to Disneyland as a nature and culturally focused equivalent of Disneyland but not as a Mexican version of it. It's designed more for people interested in an interactive experience with nature and culture.

Exactly right! “Xcaret is designed for people interested in an interactive experience with nature and culture” Disneyland is not that at all! Both are phenomenal (but very different).

Excellent and very spot on review! We just got back from a stay here over Thanksgiving, it was our 2nd time here with the 1st being back in 2017 after they first opened. We were taking our son and his girlfriend (both 22) so were looking for good bang for our buck and this place has it. Being our 2nd time here, we knew what to expect with the upsells they push and have no issues saying no thank you and moving on. Because both times we were not just a couple, 1st time there were 8 of us, we brough our own feeling of community with us. For anyone watching this, @LetsGoPhill does a great job of summing up the experience at this resort.
