Came to Xcaret Park while staying at Hotel Xcaret Mexico, and so glad that we came! This park is so unique and big, there is so much to explore. My favorite things here was looking at all the different birds, observing the wildlife, and sitting by the ocean. It was so beautiful everywhere you went! We also saw so many wild lemurs here throughout the park which was cool. However, since the park was so big, we ended up spending a lot of time walking to each experience. Overall, I would recommend this park since there are so many things to do! read more

A full-day adventure you still won't finish We spent a full day at Xcaret Park, and honestly, it was one of the highlights of our entire trip. There is SO much to do that you genuinely can't fit it all in one day--underground rivers, beaches, snorkeling spots, wildlife exhibits, and cultural experiences throughout the park. Everything is beautifully maintained, super clean, and very well organized. The staff was helpful from start to finish, and the whole place felt safe and easy to navigate. Food options were plentiful with something for everyone, and it was a huge plus that meals were included. There's also plenty of parking (we didn't have to pay), which made getting there stress-free. A few helpful tips: * Bring water shoes - you'll thank yourself in the rivers * Bring a waterproof phone pouch - must-have for photos * You'll need to sign a waiver at the start * You'll receive a wristband + locker key with a chip (included, no extra charge--just don't lose it!) * There are plenty of showers and changing areas, plus parking within the park Be prepared--there is a LOT of walking, so wear comfortable shoes and pace yourself. Overall, this place is a must-do if you're visiting Mexico. It's the perfect mix of adventure, nature, and culture all in one unforgettable experience. read more

Water activities. There is way to few water activities to do. It's such a boring place. I wouldn't pay even 30 dollars to enter much less 130 dollars. Why the hell are water shoes 43 dollars. There is no area to rest with Ac. Mosquitoes everywhere. I received 12 bites. During my stay at Moon Palace I received zero bites. But as I step into the park I receive 12. This was truly an unpleasant experience and a waste of the time I had left in Cancun. This park is a 3 star place at best. read more

This has been on my bucket list for years. When I saw Royal Caribbean had a shore excursion going here when we were in Cozumel I jumped on it because the resort is so expensive! It was so amazing and now we are trying to plan a trip to the resort! We only had about 5 hours here and could really use like 3 whole days to really enjoy the park. There was so much to do! The only complaint besides not enough time was that the "lazy river" wasn't lazy, it was a workout! lol you had to keep yourself moving you couldn't just float. It is really hard to describe what Xcaret is, you just have to experience it yourself! read more

Xcaret Park - Amusement Parks Near Me - Playa del Carmen, ROO

Not worth the money! The water in the river was gross! Everything very expensive inside.

We love Parque Xcaret! Specially during the "Día de Muertos" celebrations. They have special activities and entertainment, and they usually have a state as the guest of honor, this year was the state of Michoacán. They have a special area where you can find artisans showcasing their products, they have them for sale as well. There is music and dances from the guest state, as well as food, it is a completely immersive experience. read more

One of several parks of Xcaret, this is the original and main park to visit. It is huge and spread out, needing more than a day to explore. There it plenty of staff to guide you and maps all around. It was very well marked so really no way to get lost. There is a great variety of things to do and see here. The highlight for me was the river which takes about an hour to float down. Life jackets and fins are provided. There are lockers at the entrance of the river to lock up your belongings. If you would like your belongings to arrive at the other end of the river instead, that option is available as well. There are picture packages available for a fee, and many photo spots around the park. To avoid carrying your phone or camera, this photo package is a wonderful option. Single park or multi-park packages are available. You can take as many pictures as you'd like and all are included in your package. Shows, shopping, animals to visit, and much much more. Highly recommend visiting this park. read more

Expect to be here for the whole day if you want to do everything. There's a gigantic swirl water slide. They have a lot of different animals such as turtles, flamingos, tropical birds, etc. They have side shows that go on at certain times like horse riding and bull lassoing. The butterfly garden was magnificent. They would even land on you since they were accustomed to people. The enclosure was HUGE. There's a bunch of different kinds of restaurants and buffets. Highly recommend the Restaurante la Peninsula. The service was top tier and the food was very filling and delicious. Gorgeous view of the water too. Would 100% come back! read more

This park is a must stop, everything is so beautiful and well preserved. I had a fabulous time exploring this humongous paradise. I did the underwater river and was assisted by the most amazing life guard I ever did meet - Valentin. The animals were so free and abundant. The exhibition of culture and history was so incredible to explore. The packages and services of the staff were above expected. Plenty of water stations to refill bottles. Please bring a hat, close toed water shoes, and a waterproof phone case. Also, remember that you will be walking A LOT, I did 6.7 miles in 8 hours and had a blast doing it. My only note is that the water does inhibit the automatic cameras from taking the photos. Also my best friend paid almost 34.29 for a margarita and a bag of chips on the path. However, at our lunch I only paid 18 something. Just some things to keep in mind when planning. read more

Just spent 4 nights at Hotel Xcaret Arte and this awesome theme park was included in the price. I really like how there is a great focus on the animals however I do not support keeping dolphins captive. Aside from that this place is honestly beautiful and we had a really awesome day here. There are many different places where you can get in the water, you can interact with dolphins and manatees or you can just sit in a hammock or a chair and lounge. By far, my favorite part was swimming in the river. There are three different routes and the one I chose was a little bit longer than I was expecting, but it takes you basically from one side of the park to the other and was worth it in the end even though a bit tiring. The water temperature was 80° and it's honestly beautiful in there. I chose the manatee route so part of that was covered underground and part of it was uncovered. It was a really special experience and was the highlight of my day. There are restaurants on site, lockers all over, and they really do have a lot of great options and do a good job keeping the park clean. All the staff that we encountered was also very polite and I would highly recommend for families, especially. We stopped in as a couple and didn't feel it was overcrowded. The water is crystal clear and honestly, I will be thinking about this place for quite some time now that I am back home in the work cycle. Highly recommend! read more

Overall, great experience but super expensive. I recommend bringing a refillable water bottle because water here is so expensive. Bring water shoes, a change of clothes. The lunch package is worth it and the photo package as well is great. There is a kid section that we appreciated having a 4 year old. The river was great but so many people that don't know how to swim made it a bit dangerous. read more

There are plenty of activities to enjoy, and you can pay extra for more unique experiences;) -Night Show- This show was a fantastic way to experience Mexican history and culture. The dances and ancient sports performed up close were incredibly powerful, making me feel like I had stepped into another world. You can pay extra to enjoy the show while having dinner. The Mexican course meal came with refreshing drinks, as well as white and red wine. The food was delicious, and the view of the show from the dining area was excellent! -Underground Rivers- The water was crystal clear and stunningly beautiful. The route was surprisingly long, with several picturesque spots along the way for photos. -Stingray Sea Trek- This experience felt like being an astronaut underwater. At first, I was nervous about not being able to breathe, but the detailed explanation and the presence of many instructors who could help in case of emergencies made me feel safe. Once I got into the water, my ears felt a bit sore from the water pressure. I got to see fish and large stingrays, but the water was a bit murky, and there weren't many fish. While it was fun, I don't think I'd do it again. read more

Xcaret Park - Lighting out candle for the spectacular night show - Amusement Parks Near Me - Playa del Carmen, ROO

Xcaret park was quite impressive!! We arrived at 8am via our tour bus and stayed the entire day using the VIP pass which included lockers and a free meal. There is so much to do at this park. We enjoyed the lazy river which was the longest swim I've ever experienced! Also we explored the cemetery, the birds area, the manatee, the turtles, and the sharks. We did not buy a water event but felt that there was plenty to do! Definitely stay for the evening ceremony which was great. Great experience for the family but it will be a tiring day. read more

This place is seriously overpriced for what you get. I paid $200 USD, which just feels crazy high. I live in Quintana Roo and only found out after my visit that locals get 50% off. When I bought my ticket online, there was no option to say I'm a resident. Pretty frustrating. I got the package with food included, but you can only eat once the whole day. The park is huge, and after hours of walking around, you're obviously going to get hungry again and that's when they get you. Everything inside is insanely expensive. A michelada? 300 pesos! The menu says 200, but then your bill shows another 100 pesos just for the plastic glass ‍. Water and other basics are also way overpriced. The evening show was amazing and I did enjoy parts of the day, but honestly, for what they charge, it's just not worth it. read more

Oh my gosh, this is the best ever. I'm from Los Angeles so I've been to many water parks, but this waterpark is so different. It is so worth it things you'll do here does not compare to things in LA. It's so much better in this part. I'm not to mention the Buffet that comes with it or the smoothie bar with the free cookies absolutely delicious. I have to go back for two smoothies and a couple of cookies love this place will definitely 100% come back just for this theme park read more

Warning About Xcaret's Deceptive Strategies for Selling Timeshares Recently, I had a disappointing experience with Xcaret regarding their timeshare program. They offered me "exclusive" benefits and rates that turned out to be completely false. The prices they promised were no lower than those available to the general public, and the feeling of deceit was obvious. It's essential that future customers stay alert and don't fall for these misleading tactics. This applies to all their packages and "one time" promotions. Take advantage of whatever they give you during their presentation--but don't buy anything. -------------------------- Advertencia sobre las Estrategias Engañosas de Xcaret para Vender Tiempos Compartidos Recientemente, tuve una experiencia decepcionante con Xcaret en relación con su programa de tiempo compartido. Me ofrecieron beneficios y tarifas "exclusivas" que, al final, resultaron ser completamente falsas. Los precios que me prometieron no eran más bajos que los del mercado público, y la sensación de engaño fue evidente. Es fundamental que los futuros clientes estén alerta y no caigan en estas tácticas engañosas. Esto aplica para todos sus paquetes y promociones "One-time". Aprovecha lo que te den en tu plática, pero no compres absolutamente nada. read more

What a Fun park! Xcaret was simply amazing! So much beauty and nature surrounding this location. Animal interactions and a lot of entertainment. This park was so clean and easy to get around it. You will do a lot of walking. Bring good walking shoes! I recommend getting the picture package! You'll get the most amazing pictures with the best angels and views. Def a place for children. It is on the pricey side of parks but we thought it was worth it. read more

Very cool scenery park, but... . This park is primarily a walk-around check it out sorta thing, with a very cool underground river swim experience with multi- above and underground walkways and a must see multi-story aviary with 4 story waterfall. However, the adventures are limited, and most all cost extra. The entrance and direction process (where to go and in what order, what to do with your stuff, what gear to get etc) was very vague and disorganized. Then when you want to do certain a-la-carte activities in the park, it is an expensive pay as you go (heaven help you if you dont carry credit card on you). And some, you have to decide and pay for at the entrance (like parasailing, jetboat, dolphins and picture package). Dolphin experience is good, but pics are crazy-priced ($300). Parasailing was fun and you get shuttled from shore on a jetski. Wristband is only good for lunch (which is a fabulous buffet...definitely do lunch buffet, prepaid package better deal), and the picture spots in the park (the scanners dont work probably 25% of the time), so dont expect to use band to charge things. The underground river is a must-do, but water does not flow, so be prepared to swim a long way (not too bad really) or grab a set of fins at the lockers. Overall we did enjoy ourselves and it was great to see it, but the consumer part of me wanted to see a better run operation with better pricing and lower-friction transactions. Had there been more complete marketing information, this would have also helped set expectations and better prepared us for the experience, vs the disoriented, try-to-figure-it-out experience we had. read more

Pretty fun theme park to visit if you're in Cancun, especially with kids. You can book tickets directly or through 3rd party sites. I booked mine through Expedia for about $350+ for 2 people which included transportation from the hotel, a buffet lunch, entrance fee, and access to the Plus facilities. You want the PLUS because you'll get lockers, free access to their snorkeling equipment, and your own pathway to the underground river. Most important reason is really the lockers because--- who wants to be carrying a huge, heavy bag around all day? Buses drop you off around 9 ish. It was recommended that we hit the underground rivers first because it tends to get crowded later in the day. I'm not sure about this tip because I saw the rivers were practically empty after lunch time......Perfect for your pictures. When we went, it was hard to get pictures without random faces because people were everywhere. Also, either have water shoes or use their snorkeling slippers. It'll make you less tired. The river itself took 1-2 hours--you might even see bats in the cave. Note that there are no private showers, just open air rinses that are very chilly. For lunch, we were given a couple choices and were recommended Oaxaca Restaurant. For a buffet I guess its decent. Nothing super impressive. BE AWARE~the back table has a section with dried crickets. I sprinkled some on my food thinking they were dried spices.......only to toss the whole plate and go back for a new plate of salad not noticing more BUGS in the salad! Yes, they were meant to be in the food. On the other side of the park you'll have lots of sea animals and an entire section to snorkel. We didn't see this section until we got changed and were too lazy to go back in, otherwise would have been great! Lots of sea animals to see in that area too~giant turtles, alligators, sharks etc. Theres also a lot of other animals such as monkeys, flamingos, jaguars etc. We didn't end up staying for the nighttime show because the buses either leave at 4 pm or 9pm...something like that. Its all or nothing lol---we were spent by the time 2 pm rolled around so we left. Lockers also close early so you'll be lugging your stuff around the park if you stay. **Make sure you get the photo package!! Expensive but well worth it. You'll scan your wristband throughout the park and get photos with great backgrounds. They count your pricing per head. read more

What a unique experience! Xcaret is in league with Universal Studios, Disneyland, etc. as a general experience with an ecological and Mexican theme. We took a 5 year old and it was a memorable experience for him even though we didn't stay for the evening performance since we left on the early 4pm bus. Pro tips - bags were NOT inspected so water, snacks, insect repellent or whatever you wished to bring but thought they might confiscate could be brought with you conceivably. The oddest element was the gift shop when you first enter in (and you walk through to exit out of the park) had an underground mine maze. You kinda have to look for it - it's tucked in one of the corners and non descript but we walked down the narrow dark steps to it and my kid was in heaven - what an adventure! In a gift shop no less!?! Kiddo loved it so much that he begged to do it again on the way out. Both times no one else was around so I'm thinking it's a little known gem great for younger kids? The original plan was to do the underground river first before anything else but we stumbled on the natural pools that lead into the ocean and it was a great start to the day. It was close to Oaxaca restaurant so we pretty much ate lunch as soon as the restaurant opened which in hindsight was the best plan because the underground river attraction required a lot of physical activity that we needed to be fueled for. Life vests are required, flippers optional but flippers definitely came in handy. We have an active and brave 5 year old but I could see how other children might be scared of the river attraction especially if they weren't comfortable in water. Ropes hang on the side of the river so you can basically propel yourself hanging onto ropes but the ropes in certain segments weren't available. The river did not seem deep to me but I wasn't able to touch the bottom standing up or anything. It was truly a unique experience. It would be impossible to see and do everything in a day but we are very pleased with the adventures we had here and would return to explore more. read more

Came here while staying in Mayakoba for a half day trip (starting around noon and leaving after the evening cultural show). You probably won't be able to see all of the attractions in one day unless you start really early. Best was probably floating in the lazy river if there aren't a lot of people. Pro-tip: definitely opt for the flippers and don't go bare feet if you don't have water shoes on when you are doing the river; parts of the river are rocky and you may cut up your foot if you try to stand. Staying the the evening show is worth the spectacle but another good tip is to leave a few minutes before the end to avoid the mad rush out of the door and difficulty in getting a taxi out of the park. read more

My family was not able to see the night show because we were done after 4pm. So I highly recommend using private transportation to come around noon if you want to stay until the end if you are traveling with kids. Bring an extra pair of comfortable dry, walking shoes. Then leave them in your locker. I only had one pair of wet shoes and it sucked walking around all day in wet shoes. The highlight was the river swim and snorkeling. Everything after that was like a glorified zoo. You have to pay extra for all the activities. The buffet was OK. Our family enjoyed Xplor more and they had lobster at their buffet! The only person in my family that enjoyed this park over Xplor was my 8 year old. Anyone older preferred Xplor. I think it was cool to come here one time but would not return again. read more

I call this the Disney of Mexico. It's a huge park with a ton to explore. Just know that it takes a while to get there and when you start, it's an all day commitment. You either leave at 4 or 9:30. So if you want to do this, you got to prep. It's a lot of fun, but I was ready to pass out. Most of the really iconic stuff like dolphins and stuff requires additional cost. We went the free route (well besides the tickets) and we were able to fill up the whole day still. We did it all we could because we didn't want to come back just for something we missed. This company has a lot of other parks to visit. Plan to do this once and finish it. Walking shoes is must. If you do water stuff, a locker is a must. Water shoes is recommended and I second that. read more

One of the coolest most unique parks I've visited! The underground river (which you're able to swim/float through, although there's not much of a current) is unlike anything I've ever seen before. I'd definitely recommend doing this activity early in the day before it gets overly crowded as we were told the standard time is 45 minutes but with crowds can be up to 2 hours. The waterfront area was gorgeous! There's a restaurant and hammocks plus natural pools for swimming. All of the eco exhibits seemed extremely well cared for and the evening show was a must see event. read more

I'm going to start by saying it's the price that immediately lowers the stars for me. We paid nearly $400 (park + bus transportation + lunch) and it did NOT meet expectations. If you're staying *at* one of the hotels and it's included, great. If you're making a day trip from Cancun, not so much. The bus picked us up bright and early (7am, but hey, it's vacation!) and everything felt very organized. For much of the 45 minute drive, the host explained what to expect, what to do, where to go, etc. It was in Spanish and I could catch a lot of it but the condensed English version was appreciated. We did every possible included activity, trying to make our $400 worth it, but it was just...meh. The best part of the day was the underground river which is more a light swim than a float for those trying to decide. It was cool and relaxing and had some beautiful spots along the way. There are multiple buffet restaurants but the one we chose was just all right. It did have a great view. Seems like the first one closer to the entrance was the most popular. Honestly, we just couldn't imagine staying all the way to the night show so we took the early bus home. For the record, MANY MANY people did the same based on length of the lines to board and our completely full bus. I love nature and adventure and exploring but FOR ME, this was just not worth the money. read more

Best park I have been to in the last 10 years. They have everything there. Animals, shows, entertainment, food drink. The atmosphere is amazing. I was speechless for most of it. Felt like one day is not enough at all. I will definitely be back. Don't want to disclose to many spoilers, yet for us it was one in a lifetime experience read more

Great park, fantastic activities for kids. The shark encounter was terrific, as was the aviary and butterfly exhibit and swimming through caves. Be warned, if you got to one of the lunch buffets at 3:30 or 4 pm like we did, the lines are extremely long and slow (45 mins!). But the buffet was fantastic (we went to Oaxaca), and the line cleared at 4:30 or 5, so we must have just hit the peak rush hour. Overall, my 10 year old daughter loved it, said it was better than Disneyland or Universal Studios. read more

Don't be fooled at the Yucatán restaurant they the waiter Raul will sucker you to buy margaritas that are nasty. He will even tell you that don't have to buy it if you do not like it and once you tell him you don't like it they make you pay for it don't fall for it. They tell you it's no problem if you don't like it, you don't pay for it. It was disgusting. $18.00 for a nasty drink in the trash read more

I would recommend going to the Xcaret park towards the beginning of your trip because it can give you a wonderful little insight into Mexico's biodiversity, is a relaxing atmosphere, and keeps you energized with all the walking you can do traversing back and forth to explore all the nooks and crannies. It was also one of the least confusing activities we did all week. Because we we there during the day, it was very refreshing to spend 40+ minutes swimming down the partially underground tunnels. We did one tunnel without the free fins and the second go around in the other tunnel with the complementary fins (which I loved). Your all-day Plus entry gets you access to some live performances as well as the Espectacular show at 7 PM, one admission to any of the buffets on site, two river swims, a locker, and more. There are many more paid activities and several resort-style beach relaxation areas. We paid $136/person for the Xcaret Plus (bundled with the Xplor Fuego) with the photo pass. I was very excited for the Espectacular show which has a display of the Pre-Hispanic Ballgame where the players hit the ball with their hips. They also, to my surprise, played a sort of fire hockey that was exciting. read more

I truly wanted to like this park. We booked 2 nights at the Xcaret Arte Hotel just to have access to the parks. I know you can purchase tickets just for the parks, but after crunching numbers, even with the $900 per night, it made sense financially. The hotel/resort, is amazing! I will review that separately. On to the park. There isn't much to do there that isn't "additional cost" yes there are dolphin encounters, speed boat rides, swimming with sharks, snorkeling and more. All additional. For the hight ticket price of this place, it's not worth it. I guess once you've been to places like Disney, Sea World or any zoo (small or large) what it's offered here is pretty lack luster. The best of it all to me was the sea turtles swinging around in one of their ponds, and the aviary. There is a butterfly house as well but it had 3 butterflies total!!! Absurd really. The biggest "included" activity here is swimming along a river, which I could not do. That's all it is, Swimming as long as you want along this river. There are other things to see such some animals and whatnot, but like I said, very little. There are shows you can see. We saw the Flying Men, which is an intangible Unesco sight. That was pretty cool. There is also a horse show that was good. The buffet style restaurants, including alcohol, were included with out stay at the hotel. Which at $50 USD per person (alcoholic drinks not included) was a great savings for us. We did one for lunch and one for dinner. This all leads to the biggest culminating show of the park which is the Xcaret Espectacular. It is a look of Mexican culture through song and dance. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either. It was unnecessary long and loud. I can appreciate the effort they put into it and the pride of their culture, but it was just not for me. It's two hours long and after half an hour I just wanted to end. The worst part is that we would not be able to catch a bus back to the hotel until the show was over. All in all it wasn't a great experience for me. When I got back to the hotel, I was so exhausted and it was so late. Most of the restaurants at the resort were closed. I feel I could have enjoyed staying at the hotel that I paid top dollar for, all day and not I miss a thing. At least I did it, I know what it is and know I wouldn't do it again . read more

I recently had the opportunity to visit Xcaret Mexico this past week during my birthday trip! It did not disappoint. My family and I joked that this is the equivalent of Disney for Mexico, but so much better. I cannot speak for the value of the park alone, as we stayed at Xcaret Artė and all Xcaret parks were including during our stay, but needless to say, it did not disappoint. I only wish we had more time to explore all this park has to offer! This is one of the only Xcaret parks that is open on a Sunday, it is also their first park and by far the largest. Just a few minutes away from the resorts, it offers a full day of activities from relaxing to more active! This park is MASSIVE! Though it is helpful to have a game plan of what you want to do or see, they do have maps all through out and suggested routes that are even color coordinated on the pathways. You start the entrance in their huge gift shop, where you can also book additional excursions that require a booking or additional charge. From there you can head to the lockers, listed as Xcaret Plus on the black route and store your goods and get a life vest if you want to float through the river. We opted for the "white" route first before we went floating, which highlights the Jaguars (Sadly this exhibit was under renovation), the butterfly and aviary, beautiful pathways through waterfalls, the Community Event Invitementary, shops and lots of other things in between! It is a gem. I was able to feed a butterfly straight from my hand and the animals in the park were absolutely beautiful. The shops they offer are so unique, from leather goods, to carved wooden goods, jewelry, clothes and are surprisingly affordable. It was really a beautiful path and offered a lot of natural fauna and nature highlights as most of the park does. Once we finished that route, we grabbed our jackets and went floating down the blue line! Refreshing needless to say, bit chilly at first, but comfortable on a hot day. The map offers many exits and lets you know the distance to the next week. It seems as all the paths spit you out in a similar area. it is such a unique experience floating through the caves. Most of it seemed around 6-8 ft deep. Once we completed our float, we walked along the beach, took a brief nap in the hammock and enjoyed the views. We did not even scratch the surface, but as all vacations, there is never enough time! They have ample restaurants, that were also included in our visit! A massive buffet, with delicious margaritas and ample food options. They even brought me out a birthday cake! In the evening, they host a show highlighting Mexico's culture, we wish we had a chance to see it, it runs about two hours, but it will definitely be on the list for our next visit. This is an amazing park highlighting Mexico's nature and easily can spend the entirety of one's day here! Was a perfect way to spend my birthday! :) read more

We stayed at Xcaret Hotel Mexico and access to the park was included. This place is definitely more calmer than the Xavage park. We did the underground river swim which was pretty cool. I appreciated the addition of flippers to help me swim faster. Our group took almost an hour to go through the river before ending to grab lunch. I am okay with outdoor buffets. Generally I avoid them if I can due to sanitary reasons but I was following the group. It was busy so some things weren't kept in stock well like spoons. We stayed for the evening show as well but left early. The opening was cool but it was a bit underwhelming despite reading reviews. Also the way we were seated, the screens were obstructed by the speakers which made it difficult to understand what was going on or to learn about the history. read more

Came recently during vacation, and Xcaret was great!! Highly recommend the lazy river swim, which took about 40 minutes from start to finish. It was so much fun! For most of it, you can kind of chill and the current will bring you along the river. There's a few areas where some kicking will be involved, but definitely check this out. Following our swim, we walked through the park for the rest of the day. There's plenty to see - the aviary, butterfly pavillion, aquarium, sea turtles, beach, and more! At night, there's also a 2-hour show that is widely popular, so get there early. Admission price for a day pass through our resort booking was $116 per person, or $156 with the all inclusive food option. It was close enough to Occidental Xcaret that we decided to just make the walk back to our resort for lunch. I only wish that there were more AC'd spots within the park for even a bit of relief. It was insanely hot and humid when we visited, and a bit of AC would have been AMAZING. The only spot we managed to find with decent AC was the aquarium, and quite a few others had the same idea to just stay there for a bit. read more

I really wanted to like it, but with all the natural of beauty this area of Mexico has to offer, I'm sad I wasted a day here. First off, they round you up like cattle and if you look a little lost, and ask for information, the people there look at you like you are crazy. They aren't helpful at all. Finally we made it to the tunnel which is freezing cold. If you purchase the photo package, you can wait in lone with all the other people taking pictures holding up the line in the tunnel. It's so cheesy the way they try to make it look so natural. I almost felt as if I was in an interactive zoo. For 4 adults, $900 I was not exited to be there after stepping in. We were there a total of 2 1/2 hrs. And it was about 1pm when we left. There was no way we were going to try and make it to the later show. We did get the plus which included a buffet lunch. Do not eat the raw seafood as good as it may seem! My husband went against his own rule and he payed for it. When I go back with my kids, we will definitely skip this and go explore a cenote or anything else. read more

This is another place that I visited where there isn't much to say that hasn't already been said. If you are visiting Cancun and haven't been to Xcaret before, it is almost a MUST do. It is an ALL day event so make sure to bring comfortable and water friendly shoes as well as a change of clothes for the wonderful night show. We started off by snorkeling down the river which was so fun! not exactly phone friendly, so I strongly recommend you get the photo package they offer. The photo package comes out to about $33 per person for unlimited photos at the many "Xelfie" stations they have as well as personalized photo shoots with the various photographers located throughout the park. DEFINITELY worth it, the photos were amazing. The night show is incredible and certainly worth staying for. I highly recommend taking a hammock nap by the beach at some point in the day for a recharge! The natural pools are also out of this world. read more
