Xcaret is one of my most favorite resorts! Always friendly, clean, and safe. The staff is always more than accommodating. The food is always fresh and delicious. The spa is very professional and the therapists do a wonderful job. I can't wait for our next visit to the resort!

Jan 2025: we went there for one week with three other families, a total of six children. On the third day, after dinner, four children who ordered the same meal got vomiting, fever, and stomach ache the following day. The Hotel manager asked me for USD 500 for the blankets because the kid vomited on them ( what kind of blankets cost 500 USD? ). To waive the charge for the blanket, we were asked to see their on-site doctors and pay by ourselves to get a report (USD 100 per person cost ). The hotel refused to pay for the doctor. We then filed a complaint and asked the hotel to investigate the food poisoning issue.
The hotel's reply is 1. They will waive the $500.
2. After investigation, no other family reported the same issue. (I won’t file the complaint either if they are not been greedy try to charge us $500 usd for the blankets.)
After I asked several times, they gave us a late checkout until 2:00 p.m.
The experience is horrible.

The scenery was beautiful but everything else was overpriced and over rated. The breakfast was ok and the waiters sucked definitely not worth the $21 per person. The river route was cool because it takes you through some underground tunnels. The lunch buffet we had was bland and the waitress sucked. For a family of four we spent a little over $1000 USD on a one day pass there and we definitely weren’t satisfied for what we paid.

If I could give zero stars, I would. I was promised a rental car in exchange for a ‘free’ 90-minute tour of the hotel. Instead, it turned out to be the worst experience of my life. This so-called ‘tour’ was nothing but an extended sales pitch filled with manipulation and relentless pressure. They made it seem like the ‘exclusive’ offer was a one-time deal – luckily, we didn’t take it.
To make matters worse, the promised car was never delivered, but I was still charged over $200 for a car I never saw! Despite multiple requests, I never received a refund. This is outrageous! Avoid this place at all costs. They lure you in with empty promises and end up charging you for things you don’t even get. It’s a scam

We loved our stay here. There are TONS of activities and parks to visit (Xcaret is an absolute must), many dining options (our favorite was Xin Gao), loads of pop-up snack and ice cream carts all around the resort. I loved waking up to walk the beach in the early, then getting shots of fresh veggie smoothies after morning yoga in front of Bio. I love that I didn't have to drive or navigate anywhere because there are rides to and from the airport and different attractions. There's always some kind of entertainment going on in the lobby (we loved the Mariachi).
The lobby was always busy but in fairness, we were there at the peak of the summer break. However, the ambience was not affected in any way and was made even more memorable by the different wildlife that would casually stroll past occasionally.
We will be visiting again soon, we loved it that much!
