Hotel Xcaret Mexico

Connie Vacalares

I have to say that this was one of the beautiful resort to be especially during the Day of the Dead festival. It was one for the books and a well themed resort I've been so far. The hotel was not cheap I should say, we decided to stay for 8 days to experience all their fun inclusive activities staying in their hotel. The restaurants and the food. I can give it a 3. 5 star ratings for the reason that I'm not a local. The food heavily leaned more on Mexican food. I do understand that they run with a theme. The option for a variety (for International offerings) was so scarce and 8 day stay was just turned out boring and tiring for us. But I have to give credit for the quality of the food they served. Service and amenities were definitely 4 stars. The resort was beautiful but what makes it special were the fabulous staffs you meet especially in the restaurant. Our housekeeper was by rotation I guess, and notes we left for request was amiss most of the time so we ended up calling for requests. I also have to give you a heads up about alcoholic drinks in room. You won't get it except for local beers in the fridge that they stocked up everyday. For Cocktails or hard drinks you need to go to the bars. It was one of the downside if you've experience a different kind of set up with other resorts, which was the case for us. Entertainment was close to nothing. After 6 pm, the entertainment you can get were from the restaurants who played live music while dining. There's a restaurant that becomes a club after 11 but not much fun. Pretty much the stay was worth it because the whole place was breathtaking with the Fun Inclusive activities they offer. If you are not a local, once is enough considering the price for staying was beyond our usual budget for even an all inclusive unless you'll fall for the time share which they will aggressively offer the moment you checked in. You just have to be firm and resolute. Other than that, it was still a fun and unique vacation experience we had.

A Decade in the Making — and 100% Worth It Hotel Xcaret Mexico had been on our travel list for over 10 years, and we finally made it — thanks to a generous discount from a friend who’s a member. Full disclosure: I travel often and typically avoid all-inclusive resorts and buffet-style dining like they’re airport food. But this place? It’s a complete game-changer. Every restaurant on the property was a standout — offering traditional, regional cuisine that was not only beautifully presented but genuinely exquisite. The seafood restaurant in particular was a highlight: fresh ingredients, elevated flavors, and top-shelf Tequila and Mezcal that made us feel like royalty without the robe. Service was flawless — a true 10/10. I could ask questions and make requests just using WhatsApp, and within minutes, someone was on it. Efficient, friendly, and thoughtful in a way that never felt forced. We were so impressed, we became members before we even checked out. Already booked our return trip for May 2025. That should tell you everything.

Such an amazing stay and experience, you can do this as a group of adults or with kids and it’s an equally great time. I have zero complaints! Everything was so easy to maneuver. All of the parks are so good! We had the best time. My son requested a Santal cologne because it reminds him of this hotel. Some great memories were had! Highly recommend. Wish I had photos of the hotel.

Worst Value for Money – Very Disappointed I stayed at Hotel Xcaret and left feeling completely let down. For a price of around $1400 per night, you'd expect exceptional service and quality — unfortunately, this hotel delivers neither. The rooms are poorly maintained and far from what you’d expect at this price point. They advertise 24/7 room service as part of the all-inclusive package, but good luck actually getting anything delivered. Most of my requests were ignored or simply never arrived. If you’re hoping for a peaceful, relaxing stay — forget it. The hotel hosts loud, disruptive shows late into the evening, making it nearly impossible to sleep, even if you're in your room trying to rest. Honestly, for $300 a night, this place might be considered decent, but for what they’re charging, it’s an absolute joke. I feel cheated and genuinely want my money back.

Hotel Xcaret Mexico is an outstanding resort and a wonderful option for those with families. The facility is clean, safe, stunningly beautiful and the staff is wonderful. The food options are plentiful and the food was great! (some sit-down options require reservations btw) and the buffet options are great for quick meals. The pools are outstanding and the river is fun to explore as a family. For adults, the pool-side bars are excellent. It's hard to overstate how great it is to have the 3 park options 10 minutes away by free shuttle. Absolutely wonderful. And Xel-Ha is an hour away and worth the shuttle ride. Two minor "watch outs" for those with young children (under 12 for example): 1. The rooms can be a bit noisy. The doors are heavy but aren't "quiet close" - they slam easily and loudly, and the hallways echo. So for children that go to bed early, there is a lot of noise from the hours of 9-11 as people wander, return from dinner, etc. And vice versa - hallway noise, door slamming, etc. starts again early. 2. There aren't really evening activities for kids who aren't teenagers and who can go to the "Kids Club" or whatever.
