I had a pretty good experience at Hotel Xcaret! My husband and I came here for a work trip, and we…read morewere very excited when we first arrived. It is a huge resort with 18 included restaurants, bars, pools, and beaches. You also have access to all of the different parks which is an amazing perk. Our room was pretty big with two queen beds. It had a jacuzzi and hammock in the balcony. We didn't have a stellar view, but I can only imagine if you did. I also never thought that I would say this, but room service came way too many times. They would come 2 to 3 times a day, and once even asked if we needed room service at 9pm LOL. We mainly ate at the buffet, which did not need a reservation, and it was pretty good. Our overall consensus was that the food here was very diverse and yummy, but was too salty. We don't drink, so I have no comment on that. The infinity pool was pretty nice, but I wish it had a direct view of the beach. There was a river surrounding the hotel, which blocked the view. The beach was pretty accessible though, and the water was very clear. There was a lot of seaweed in it though and it was more rocky than sandy which made it hard to lay our towels down. Overall, though, the service was great and we had a great time here. I would definitely recommend it because we didn't pay for the trip haha.

TL;DR: Staff physically confiscated silverware and water glasses from my 6-months pregnant wife to…read moreprevent her from eating, publicly humiliating her after we waited over an hour for food. Management admitted to these severe operational failures in writing but refuses to issue a refund for the undelivered services. Expect broken room service, massive dining queues, and an environment that prioritizes timeshare sales over the basic health and safety of its guests. To those contemplating spending upwards of $5,500 for the illusion of a luxury retreat: take heed. Hotel Xcaret is not a high-end hospitality venue. It is an exercise in operational chaos, contempt for its guests, and unvarnished corporate greed. We traveled with our toddler and my six-months pregnant wife, anticipating the promised "All-Fun Inclusive" seamlessness. Instead, we found ourselves trapped in a system that prioritized deploying over 20 staff members to aggressively hawk tours and timeshares in the lobby while entirely failing to feed their existing guests. The daily dining queues routinely stretched well past an hour. Attempting to bypass this via room service revealed a completely broken system. The phone line was deliberately left off the hook to broadcast a continuous busy signal, and when we finally forced a connection after eight separate attempts, the food arrived three hours late or simply never materialized at all. The absolute nadir of our stay arrived on our final morning. Physically exhausted and unable to endure yet another taxing queue, my visibly pregnant wife took a seat at an empty table. Rather than exhibiting basic human decency, let alone the preferential treatment explicitly mandated by Mexican law, a hostess publicly berated her as a "line cheater." In a staggering display of hostility, the staff physically stripped the silverware and water glasses from her table to ensure she could not eat. I was left to scavenge for cutlery at a waiter's station myself just to secure a meal for my pregnant wife. One might expect urgent apologies for such degrading treatment. Instead, despite management (Ulises Miranda) formally admitting to their severe operational failures in writing on March 11, the resort's corporate office refuses to refund the $2,765.20 owed for the services they failed to deliver. They operate under the assumption that foreign tourists will simply give up once they cross the border, but they are mistaken. This is now an active federal dispute for discriminatory denial of service (PROFECO Expediente #06683971, Art. 7 & 58 LFPC) and a formal regulatory financial claim. Do not subsidize this behavior. If Hotel Xcaret will treat a pregnant mother with such blatant hostility and happily pocket the money, imagine how they will treat you.

Stay at your own risk! From the moment we checked in, things already felt a bit off. The gentleman…read moreat the front desk confirmed the length of our stay, quoted us the total cost, and asked whether we would be paying with cash or card. I was confused and explained that we had already paid in full and that my credit card had been charged. He said, "Let me check," and although I'm not sure he actually did, he returned in under a minute, handed us our room keys, and called for a bellhop. When we got to our room, we realized it was on a lower level, even though I had specifically booked and paid for an oceanfront room on a higher floor. I called the front desk to request a change and was told a higher-floor room would be available the next day. We then went to the concierge to make dinner reservations for our stay, only to be told everything was fully booked. Ana, the concierge who assisted us, mentioned that guests staying more than three nights receive access to the Nickelodeon water park. However, before giving us the tickets, she tried to sign us up for what was clearly a timeshare presentation (though she didn't explicitly call it that). She asked us to meet her in the concierge lounge the next morning so she could take us to the presentation and then to the park. We chose not to attend and instead drove ourselves to the water park. The next day around noon, we were notified that our new room was ready. We packed our belongings and moved upstairs. Couple hours later, concierge notified me that I had left my wallet behind, something that felt very strange, as I had checked the room multiple times. I assumed I may have dropped it under the bed or under the coffee table. When my wallet was returned, I quickly checked inside and immediately noticed that $220 USD in cash was missing. I also saw that my credit cards had been moved out of place. I went down to the concierge to report the incident. The concierge manager, Luis, showed no sympathy and did not apologize. I was informed that I will be updated in 24 hrs. 24hrs later, I received 0 calls, 0 updates. I escalated the issue to the front desk hotel manager Emmanuel, and received the same response. No concern, no urgency, no apology, and no follow-up, no accountability whatsoever. At this point, I've accepted that I likely won't recover the missing money, but I wanted to share my experience. The resort itself is beautiful, but based on what we went through, I would advise others to stay at your own risk. I will not be returning!

We were excited to get married at this resort after our site visit in 2023. It was scenic, and the…read morestaff we met then seemed attentive and welcoming. But unfortunately, by the time our wedding rolled around, the resort was under new management -- and it showed. Our onsite wedding coordinators, Elivia & Uriel, were great. They were organized, responsive, and genuinely cared about our day. They helped make sure the wedding events themselves ran smoothly, and we're thankful for them. But beyond the events, the guest experience at the resort was far from acceptable. Guests reported rude or inattentive staff, room service that never came, rooms with no AC or hot water, and restaurants that refused to seat people even when they had reservations. These issues caused real frustration and embarrassment during what was meant to be a joyful celebration. We also ran into food service issues at two of our wedding events, which should never happen at a resort that hosts so many weddings. Most seriously, a guest was told a food item was nut-free -- it wasn't. They ended up in the hospital. That level of negligence is completely inexcusable. Elvia and Uriel did their best, and we're grateful for them. But the resort as a whole failed to deliver the standard of hospitality and safety that any guest should expect, let alone during a wedding weekend. For couples considering this venue: the beauty is there, but the service and care are not.

On 15Jul26 my wife and I were assaulted in room 3227 as royal retreat members who did not receive…read morean upgrade for this room. Our "neighbor" Phil got so black out drunk that he assaulted my wife, his wife, and myself. Phil banged on our door telling my wife "she's a woman, clean up the shit outside". The "outside" mess was room service trays house keeping had left outside. I attempted to talk to Phil outside in my robe, one handed covering myself, to let him know that we did not leave the items there. Phil proceeded to push me with both hands, then punch me in the face twice, my wife once, and his wife consistently. At this point I went inside to get dressed and let security know what happened. It took multiple phone calls and alerts to the butler office to finally get security to our room. In the meantime Phil continued to break and throw dish-ware all over or communal stairs while beating his wife in real time. During this time he continued to punch our mutual wall and break more stuff in the room. After this security finally put him back in his room. We were told since Phil had his room longer than us, it was unlikely he would be removed. It took me threatening to call the local police for them to evict him. ELIZABETH assistant manger at the time came to our situation and assured us we would be taken care of. At this point there was well over a dozen staff and a dozen of our casita mates watching the situation. Incredibly embarrassing. My wife and I decided to not address it until our pre-check out as Elizabeth had assured us we'd be taken care of. Once we arrived in Casitas lounge to do our pre-check out: Sergio had said he'd heard all about our assault and would have the manager there for us, and asked us to get a drink and come back for her. We arrived 15 minutes later to speak with ELIZABETH who immediately LAUGHED in our faces. She said "we already kicked him out, what else do you want?" I explained to her we only wanted that day of the event off our reservation and we would pay for our spa and premium dinner and the entirety of our stay besides that. ELIZABETH reiterated that Lomas policy is to NEVER refund guest and we'd have to reach out to customer service. When I asked for their information she said she didn't have it, and finally relented to writing it on the backside on another guests information. Not realizing that she gave us their information. Elizabeth further told me she "will not" let me speak to the GM, and to "figure it out through email." I've traveled extensively internationally in the military and as a civilian and hand NEVER been treated with such contempt as ELIZABETH showed us. I would've received better customer service at a motel 6.

Hard to get reservations for fine dining and for excursions. Ask the minute you arrive, before you go to your room. 1st floor swim outs are very nice. Don't bother with 2nd or 3rd floor. If you have kids who need naps choose building 20. Kids to teens who need swimming supervision building 19. Loud, but where the action happens. Teens building 18. They will be on the move all day. 18 is a little less busy in the water but easy for check ins. If you are 18+ check out one of the neighboring resorts all under same ownership. This beach is not for swimming bring swimming shoes if you plan to go knee deep. The beach draped beds which is quiet and relaxing. edit! I found out they use Lactose free milk in the restaurant cappuccino machine. Beware! Montezuma visited me last night. We've been so careful. I noticed the spinach on the salad bar had not been cleaned properly. I suspect that they're not cleaning the frozen vegetables with bottled water. Lesson learned, bring some Pepto-Bismol and some hemorrhoid cream. This was about 4 hours of torture.

If you are looking for a laid back place to vacation, this is your place. If you are looking for a…read moreparty scene this is not your place. We enjoyed the fact that it was so laid back, but with that being said we had wished that the bars around the pool stayed open past 5 pm and that they opened before 10 am. We love some mimosas and bloody Mary's in the morning, but unless you go to the restaurants for breakfast you are out of luck. The food was good, and the only complaints was that the pizza place is over where the kids play that is pretty far away from where we were and there were no pool side burger or taco places. They occasionally had a pop up that you could get food but it was specifically between 1-3. Don't get me wrong the pizza was great we just were not going to walk that far to wait an hour to get our pizza. Drinks were great and entertainment was good as well. We were there with the friends that were members, but after seeing the difficulties they were having we definitely will not be joining.

Id stay somewhere else where they care about their guests.
