We had the time of our lives and made the most of this all-fun inclusive vacation. Staff were amazing, food delicious, parks as fun as can be and the hotel was just paradise. Loved our room and all that we got with it. Would totall recommend and cannot wait to come back. Asi se siente Mexico en la piel!

Overall, the stay did not meet expectations for a luxury resort at this price point.

The first room assigned was extremely noisy and did not match the river view category booked. This was only corrected after three nights when we were moved to a higher floor in a different building, which was a much better experience.

Certain floors (especially 3 and 5) function as transit levels between buildings, and hallway noise echoes directly into the rooms. For a resort positioned in this category, the sound insulation and room experience fall short compared to similar luxury hotels.

We were also celebrating my wife’s birthday, which was noted multiple times at check-in, through concierge restaurant reservations, and again at the restaurants themselves. Unfortunately, there was never any acknowledgment, which was disappointing considering the trip was planned around the occasion.

The restaurants were overall just average, with some dining experiences feeling rushed rather than refined.

Another frustration was the lack of clear information throughout the resort. Finding restaurants, activities, schedules, or even understanding what certain areas were often required figuring things out yourself. Many places are not clearly identified from the main walkways, which becomes frustrating at a property this large
The resort has beautiful surroundings and a strong concept, but the execution, service consistency, and attention to detail did not match expectations for the price or star level

Was so excited for this stay and honestly the staff had zero customer service and most were straight up rude. I don’t know if it was because we were Americans or what but that is the sole reason we won’t be coming back. The property itself is absolutely beautiful but extremely huge with no tram or anything similar to get from one side to the other. So it’s hard for elders and small children to walk all day everyday and do the walking at the parks too. Was not prepared for that. We picked an upgraded room when booking and when we got there to check in they advised us that room wasn’t available and they would have to put us in a downgraded room with no refund for the difference. I thought it was extremely distasteful and unacceptable way to handle it. They didn’t apologize or anything just told us it is what it is…. Also you can only book dinner reservations at the concierge desk which they have 15 staff members standing there at all times more than half of them standing around chatting with each other not working and don’t answer the phones when you call from your room to avoid a long walk to the front lobby. When you ask for an kind of directions to get somewhere they act as though you should know and will point in a general direction. Honestly for what we spent I would expect more customer service.

The rooms are beautiful and the property is extraordinary. Great food and helpful staff throughout the property. You will be lost on the property the first few days. We found we didn’t need to put our request list in for restaurants and walked in regardless but came at a slower time.

Only thing I wasn’t a fan of is not being able to see menus before booking/going into the restaurants.. leading to being in a place we had two people out of three not having any food choices and we had to walk away.

We will be returning and recommend it to anyone who it fits within their budget.

I had a great stay at Hotel Xcaret México. The all-inclusive experience is amazing—not just food and drinks, but also access to parks, which makes it very unique. The resort is beautiful, surrounded by nature, and the rooms are clean and comfortable. Food quality was excellent, though reservations for popular restaurants can be hard to get. Overall, a perfect mix of relaxation and adventure—highly recommend!

The staff were pretty consistently rude for most of the week we were there. When we would ask for food at restaurants where they were serving at buffets they were consistently rude or acted like we were annoying them or like they didn’t want to be there. It was pretty shocking considering what we paid to be there. We wondered if they were treating us that way because we were Mexican-American and not White. No matter the reason, it was not OK. If you’re looking for a beach, this is not the place for you. The beach is very small, most of it is Rocky, and there was lots of sarga while we were there. We most definitely will never return here.

We recently stayed at Xcaret and had a very mixed experience.

The parks themselves are incredible. There is so much to do, and the natural setting makes everything feel unique and immersive. It’s truly an adventure-focused trip, and that part absolutely delivered.

That said, there were a few consistent challenges. The food overall was underwhelming, especially considering the price point. Las Cuevas was a standout and one of the best meals we had, but it was difficult to get reservations. We ended up waiting in line, which worked, but it’s not ideal when you’re planning your days around experiences.

Navigation throughout the parks could also be improved. There weren’t many clear signs, and it was easy to feel unsure of where to go next or worry that you were missing something. In addition, while the staff was kind, there is definitely a language gap at times, which made communication less seamless than expected.

Another downside is that not everything is truly all-inclusive. Some parks and food options are included, but not all, which can be a bit disappointing given the overall cost.

Overall, it was a really fun and memorable trip, especially for the experiences and activities. However, for us, it feels like a one-time destination rather than somewhere we would return to.

Property is beautiful, so many things to do. Service is great food and drinks also great. Is a green facility on a preserved area. My only concern is that from all 20 pools that the facility has no one is climatized or heated. Depending on the time of the year of your visit especially if traveling with small children this might be a n issue. I believe that for the 5star hotel category at least they should provide this service in one or two of the pools to have options. Another downside is even though they have more than 20 restaurants including 2 buffets some of them for dinner required reservations. When we arrived a lot of the reservations were taken. You have to make those in advance prior arrival.

I recently stayed at Xcaret in Riviera Maya and would rate the experience 3 out of 5 stars.
The staff was generally friendly and helpful throughout the stay, with one exception—checkout. Unfortunately, the gentleman assisting us didn’t say a word or ask how our stay was, which felt like a missed opportunity to leave a positive final impression.
The rooms were pretty average, but to be fair, we didn’t spend much time in them beyond resting and sleeping. The real highlight of the trip was the activities. There was plenty to do—cenotes, kayaking, snorkeling, and even seeing exotic animals. Those experiences made the trip memorable.
Food, however, was a bit disappointing. Most of it was very average, and to make matters worse, several restaurants require reservations that we were told need to be made up to six months in advance. We were able to get into Xin Gao due to a cancellation, but unfortunately, the meal didn’t live up to expectations. My pork filet was tough and dry, and the rest of my family’s meals were just okay.
One thing to note—the resort is massive. Bring comfortable walking shoes! That said, I actually enjoyed walking around and exploring the property, so that was a plus.
Overall, we did have a good time thanks to the activities and atmosphere, but there are definitely areas—especially food and reservation access—that could be improved. Give all guests at least 1 reservation everyone deserves that at minimum.

This is one of the most beautiful hotels I’ve ever been to. The food is also amazing. That being said, their communication (and Expedia’s) help is very lacking. We tried for a month prior to arriving to make reservations at restaurants were completely ignored. We also tried to get Expedia to help and Expedia was no help either; they just told us to contact the hotel, which was not responsive. We arrived with no reservations for any of the restaurants we wanted and ended up not being able to dine at some of them. For the high price, you would expect a lot more help and attention. I do not think I would use Expedia for this in the future. And I would book months in advance to try to get in contact with the hotel.

Definitely overrated. Where do I start.

1) Upon arrival, you would think the check in would be much faster. Plenty of employees standing around which could be helping but aren’t.

2) I arrive at my room which has the walk-out pool and literally walked out to an 8 x 8 one foot max pool. Didn’t even connect to the main pool area.

3) On hotels.com it says (2) queen beds and they stated hotels.com doesn’t know anything about their process. After enough going back and forth, they moved us to the furthest area back which had (2) queen and walk-out pool. I shouldn’t have to spend hours of vacation sorting that out

4) we had a big family with us and they made it extremely difficult for us to eat together. I would understand if seating was limited, but the areas were 1/2 empty. You should accommodate your guests when possible and it was always possible but basically refused.

5) We were booked at the older Xcaret hotel area VS newer area. Newer area looked like a ghost town so maybe so overloaded the old side to make it seem fuller. Not sure

6) you don’t even have good beach access

Overall, I won’t be going back. We’ve been to many other places with less expensive rooms, better views, better beaches, and better service

I booked the river jump room.$13,800 for 6 nights. On Expedia it shows a pad off the balcony with no railing so u can jump straight into the river. Upon arriving there was no rooms of this type left and gave me a walk in to the river. Would not discount me. Expedia only offered $2k in credit to be used in 18 months. However this upgrade cost me $3600. Also do not believe the concierge’s. They will tell you absolutely anything and everything to get you off the phone if you are wanting information regarding Park hours, and when to catch the bus, go to the bus terminal and look up on their boards do not take the concierge‘s word, too many times they were incorrect.

If I could rate with zero I could. The manager Victor Lopez ( that’s what he said ) did not help at all with all the incidents that happened to us.
How to start: it was my 30 birthday and we called many times before coming to the hotel to make sure that the rooms were next to each other (I was traveling with my son, mother and husband) . They promised it would be like this, during the check in time they said that only one room was ready (even if the check in time is at 15h) we were kind enough to say « no worries » we will be back later … surprise surprise they sent my mother 4 floors far from us . The receptionist didn’t want to tell us the truth during the check in time so she just decided to tell us to come back « later « . The tv remote didn’t work at all.. he called and they say they didn’t have another LOL … for the price we paid this hotel isn’t worth it. I recommend staying in another all inclusive and just paying the parks separately. Also… I wouldn’t describe the hotel as all inclusive .. they have many things that aren’t included .
Also at night , (midnight) there was a huge noise in the room. We called the reception and they came 40 mins later . The technicien said it was the filter of the pool or sth like that since our room was close to the central . They turned it off like 30 mins later so we finally went to sleep …..
not to forget that we ordered room service and they confirmed our order by calling to the phone and 40 mins later they called to cancel .

Unfortunately, we felt the hotel was significantly overrated. Across our group of ten, one person in each of the three rooms became sick, and everyone believes it was due to the food. It was also concerning to see staff handling food with bare hands and no gloves. Overall, the food quality was very mediocre. Most restaurants felt like extensions of the buffet, with very few made‑to‑order options.

The property itself is large, unique, and visually impressive. The highlight for us was definitely the waterslides and the lazy river—those features truly make the resort one of a kind.

However, several other aspects missed the mark. There were surprisingly few bathrooms throughout the property, and it wasn’t possible to order food poolside or beachside. Drinks were served in reused disposable-style cups that didn’t appear to be washed well. Room service was extremely slow.

As a family, we’ve visited many all‑inclusive resorts—probably around 40—and this one fell near the bottom of our list, perhaps because we arrived with high expectations. We also realized that very large resorts may simply not be the right fit for us. With food prepared on such a massive scale, the risk of foodborne illness seems higher, and the overall dining experience suffers.

Had to call to refill the fridge & snacks.Ran out of coffee pods for the keurig & called for more, which never arrived. They give out a little tote bag, our room didn't have one.

Excellent hotel! We will be returning. The staff was friend and the premises were beyond beautiful.

Things that need improvement:
Room maintenance - we called two nights in a row to request water and more candy in the snack bar. For me common sense if it’s empty refill it but I guess they only do it upon request.
Chocolate ice cream - very delicious but for some reason this flavor is beyond popular and once it’s out it’s out for the entire week.
Chibali restaurant is for children, yet they were the least friendly restaurant. It’s like the staff of the day hated to be there. Idk we just didn’t return there through our stay.

The room was great, clean and neat… however I did not like the fact that the bath tub takes aver 40 minutes to fill up which was disappointing. I also did not like the fact that there is bottled water which is not refilled every day unless you request it and even when I requested it.. took a whole day to get it. The restaurants were great however the need to make reservations ahead of time is kind of a hassle and you cant make it there is a fee you must pay. Otherwise the pools and amenities were great, staff were very nice and helpful.
In the other hand the membership sales pitch I was not expecting and took way too long, they were very pushy about us getting it and made it very frustrating when we declined it.
The parks on their own were very nice and yet many of the activities were not included in the “all inclusive” package which defeats the whole point of an all inclusive so there is that. The photo package was worth it though to be honest.
The transportation was always good and on time. We had a good time overall however the hotel needs some improvements in my opinion.

I’m sharing this so other families can make informed decisions.

I booked two rooms through Expedia:

Room 1: Two adults (myself and my 14-year-old daughter) and one child (age 6)

Room 2: Two adults and one infant (age 3)

At check-in, hotel staff stated multiple times that children under five are free. I asked why, if that is the policy, the three-year-old even had to be listed as a child—especially since Hotel Xcaret’s website does not allow you to enter infants under five separately during booking.

Despite acknowledging the infant was free, staff insisted she still “counted” as the only child on the reservation. As a result, I was charged over $2,000 for my 6-year-old son, even though a child was properly listed and my Expedia confirmation PDF shows additional child pricing of about $334, not thousands. I was also told that even if we reassigned the child designation, the charge would still apply. No adjustment or compensation was offered.

Additional issues:

Over two hours waiting for rooms after check-in time

Staff were unfriendly and dismissive when asking for clarification

This resort markets itself as family-friendly and luxury, but this experience felt misleading and inflexible, particularly for families with children of different ages. I will be pursuing this with Expedia and submitting documentation. Families should confirm child pricing in writing before arrival.

This place is truly one of a kind. Every square inch was thought out to the smallest detail. One of the most beautiful hotels I've ever visited. I love how the parks are included and easily accessible.

Hotel is beautiful, it’s huge and super kids friendly but not worth what you pay for. Paid 14k for 8 nights for 2 kids and 2 adult for a swim up room and I understand the hotel is in the jungle and there’s going to be bugs and animals but didn’t expect to be dealing with cockroaches the first night. I like to unpack as soon as I check in specially when it’s a lot of days so I didn’t expect to be having cockroaches in the closet that night after unpacking specially around my kids clothing . I did call reception area and they sent someone to spray bug chemicals and seemed to have fixed the issue but Also for it to be a top hotel the time share is where it threw me off they are super pushy with trying to get you to become a member even when you tell them no they keep on insisting and keep sending different workers to try and talk to you and convince you. I took this trip with my family to relax not sit around for 4 hrs to listen to someone talk and convince me to become a member.
