Do I have to put my naked ass in the air when I zipline?
Good straight to the point review. We were there last year at the AO and are going back again this year. She was on point on most things. The resort is VERY clean, service is VERY good, the pools and the beach are stunning, the evening dining options are VERY good, but the buffets are average at best, and we hate that there is no coffee shop at an Adults only resort. We are gonna bring out own coffee pot this year.
I just got back Monday January 20th. Last week the water was Caribbean blue and gorgeous. I was worried about the water but I hear January is the best time. The ocean was gorgeous clear calm and aqua blue. Every morning around 6-7 am they had a small tractor that cleaned up the seaweed on the beach. It was amazing!!
Glad to hear you had a great time!
Are all parks and tours included in any hotel all inclusive stay? And how easy is it to book it all and see it all?
They’re included if you stay at any of the 3 Xcaret hotels - Hotel Xcaret México, Hotel Xcaret Arte, and La Casa de la Playa. Very easy if you stay there as they have transportation and arrange everything for you
Do you recommend the "Adulto" suites? if you know what the differences are, would you please share that information? We are very excited to book our trip, just can tell what the benefits of "Adulto" means.
I believe the adult suites are all located in the Casa de los Artistas building which is oceanfront and you get access to an exclusive rooftop pool and the Kibi Kibi restaurant. They also don’t allow young adults (16+) in this building
@ thank you!
I love your videos!, were can I find the itinerary ?, and also, is it true there is risk of E. colli?, thanks !
Thanks! Check out my blog for more info and tips vivalatravelista.com/
Is there a discount for residents?
Not that I know of
Does the free access to the parks also include food and drinks at the parks or only at the resort?
Yes
Can you separate yourself after the hot air balloon? I heard that’s theirs a lot of in between time. I’m kind of a time crunch so I would like to go to the pyramids after wards and then head home.
I think only if you don’t use their transportation
This was SO helpful. I am a July 2025 Hotel Xcaret bride and I will be sharing this with my guests! Thank you!
Thanks so much and congrats!!
Thank you so much for this video . This really helped my family and I decided which was best for us . ❤❤❤
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Hi does this resort have night shows.
Yes they have occasional shows and cultural performances but nothing crazy
Question.. how long did it take to experience the Xenote park? All day? A few hours?
All day!
Thank you the information 😊👍
Thanks for watching!
Do you think Xplore park or Xenotes park would be a good fit for a couple on mid 50’s ? (need to mention that I have a busted meniscus but able to walk normally, being careful oc).
Age wise yes but just depends if you think you'd be okay with all the physical activity - they both require a lot of walking, swimming, and stairs on rocky ground and sometimes uneven surfaces
@ got it! thank you so much!
Appreciated the overview and what were pros and cons
Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much ! Great review and you provide good info!
Thanks for watching! Hope it was helpful!
Just returned yesterday from the Barcelo Riviera. While there, our group visited Xenses and Xplor. I watched your video reviews prior to the excursions and your videos were of great help and provided much insight! Thanks for your great work!
Great video!! Thanks!!! We are going to do this next month!!!
Thanks for watching! Hope you have a great time!
I’m so dizzy after watching this video . Useful information, thanks for that
Are all these included when staying at Xcaret Mexico?
Yes
Is Travelista a real word?
Can you tell about best hotel near of them?
The Xcaret Hotels - free entry to all the parks is included in your stay. I’ve got some review videos on my channel
Are spa treatments or massages included?
No they cost extra
If Arte is an Adults only resort, then how come they have Adult only buildings in the reservations type?
I think because they allow young adults (16+)
Xel-ha is lots of fun. We were there last week
Very Useful, thank you
Thanks for watching!
Upgrade to premium level so you can get free room service and way better food, whenever you want! Do it it’s worth it. Trust me.
Do you have a better spot in cancun/tulum for the same price point? Thanks for your help and video!
What are you looking for exactly?
@@vivalatravelista Hey thanks for the reply! Looking for a luxury (clean/friendly) stay with really good food options. Would prefer something with a decent beach.
Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancún is luxury with a really gorgeous beach
Is there a casino nearby?
There are a few casinos in Playa del Carmen but they are pretty small compared to traditional casinos
Do they offer transportation from the cruise port?
No just from Cancun, Playa del Carmen, and Riviera Maya
Xel-Ha seems boring compared to Xcaret and Xplor. I’d like to check it out though, as well as Xavage if I can hang. I didn’t like Xoxomilco as much as I thought I would. My bf and I used their transportation once and thought it was really slow and inefficient. They have a newish sailing tour to Isla Mujeres now. I stayed in Hotel Xcaret for a few days when the rooms were offered at a discount, and I honestly didn’t love it, especially the food and amenities for such an expensive resort.
XAVAGE has been closed, it was not that popular among tourists. 🤧
my mom works there online and i went there a few times because we get it for free because my mom works for it! its soooo fun i love it totally recommend for sure💗🫶🏻
Take a drink everytime she says hotel xcaret 😂
Awesome video very helpful. Probably one of the best videos out there on the topic. Thank you.
Thanks for watching! 😊
Do you have a breakdown on the duration of each park? In other words, how long does it take to complete each parks? Thank you
Xel-Ha, Xcaret, and Xplor are full day parks. Xenses you could do in a half day. And Xoximilco and Xplor Fuego are nighttime experiences
@ awesome thank you! Xenotes and Xavage are full day as well I am assuming.
@ yes Xenotes is a full day tour. Xavage is temporarily closed but normally is full day
@ you just got a new subscriber. Thank you
I thought the video was very informative. And offered pros and cons. Here is another video link that is for Xcaret Mexico, the resort adjacent to Xcaret Arte which is for adults only ruclips.net/video/w_6LiRLn5XQ/видео.html I also used ChatGPT to find out some negatives about the 2 resorts and this was my new friends reply… When considering vacationing at Hotel Xcaret Arte or Hotel Xcaret Mexico, here are some potential downsides to keep in mind: Hotel Xcaret Arte Cons: • Rocky Beach: The beach can be rocky, which might limit swimming and beach lounging experiences. • Limited Dining Options: While the restaurants are high-quality, there are fewer choices compared to its sister property. • Adults-Only Restriction: It’s an adults-only resort, making it unsuitable for family vacations with kids . Hotel Xcaret Mexico Cons: • Crowded Restaurants: Popular dining spots can get crowded, leading to wait times. • Rocky Beach: Similar to Xcaret Arte, the beach is rocky and not ideal for lounging or swimming. • Older Property: It opened in 2017, so it’s slightly older than Xcaret Arte, though still well-maintained. • Higher Cost: Prices are generally higher due to its family-friendly amenities and broader restaurant selection . Overall, both resorts offer luxury accommodations and access to Xcaret parks, but choosing the right one depends on your preferences for dining, family-friendly features, and overall resort atmosphere.
So all Resturants are separate fees?
No all the food is included
If you are staying at one of the hotels. What level of admission ticket do you get?
Xcaret Plus for Xcaret Park and Xplor only has 1 ticket type
Great video! I’m in playa right now and booked this park for Friday! I’m a huge snorkel fan and can’t wait! My wife and I will be going with a 6 month old so we will have to switch 😅
Good luck hope you enjoy it!
Brilliant! We plan to do both in May ❤
Hope you have a blast!
Very thorough review! Thank you
Thanks for watching!
are there a lot of older guests there??
It’s a mix but when I went there were a lot of younger couples, honeymooners, and groups of friends
Thank you for this wonderful review!! We are going over Christmas and super excited! Is the mixology class for an additional fee or is it included in the all-inclusive? Thanks!
It’s included!
What about side trips? I take it the valet can arrange trips to Tulum and Playa del Carmen. Are these trips worth the direly inflated prices? Is it safe to hire a driver/guide now, or should we stick to big groups like buses?
Yes I think they are worth visiting if you want to get off the resort. Tulum is a lot more expensive than PDC but has a more bohemian vibe with better beach clubs, etc. You can hire a private guide or do a group tour to the Tulum Ruins or nearby cenotes. Both are typically safe as long as you take basic safety precautions
I’ll be there this Christmas
WE are heading back from the US in a couple of months.
VERY informative video. I'm going next month! My question is what mount/accessory did they allow you to use while on activities like zip lining? I have a hand mount and invisible selfie stick for my insta360 but wondered if they would allow it.
I used a floating hand grip with a wrist strap. Not sure if they would allow a selfie stick but if not you could always leave it in your locker
I used a go pro with a stick attached and they allowed me on the zip lines at xplor. It has to have a wrist strap or hand strap though it can’t be freely held
I've been to the Maya Palace 3 times, and found that the food was great, especially the buffets. Have you been? If so, was the buffet better, or not at the Riviera? Thanks
No I only ate at Maya Riviera
@@vivalatravelista Lol,.....I'm scared to go to any other resort, because I am a picky eater. Even the food at the other resorts in the complex weren't close to the Palace. I'm specifically speaking of the buffets, not the a la cart restaurants
Xel-HA it is! Its also close to the two eyes cenote. This December :)
Yay hope you have the best time! 🤿
I was thinking to book directly and not thru viator, any thoughts?
I like Viator because they have a 24 hour cancellation policy and you can reserve now and pay later. It can also be a bit cheaper with the exchange rate
@ ah ok good points thanks
