All-fun-inclusive resort with unlimited access to all Xcaret parks and tours. Features 900 suites with underground river views, 10 restaurants, and extensive recreational activities. Perfect for families seeking adventure with cultural performances and eco-archaeological experiences included.
Hotel Xcaret México stands as one of the most ambitious all-inclusive resorts in the Mexican Caribbean, located along the Riviera Maya coast near Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo. Opened in 2017, the resort was designed by Grupo Xcaret as the centrepiece of Mexico's largest nature and eco-archaeology theme park complex, and its all-fun-inclusive concept sets it apart from conventional all-inclusive properties.
The resort encompasses 900 suites spread across fourteen themed 'fuentes' (springs) buildings arranged around interconnected freshwater rivers, lagoons, and jungle gardens. Suite categories include Jungle Garden, Underground River, and Swim-Up options, all featuring generous bathrooms, hammocks, and distinctive Mexican craftwork. Underground river suites offer views directly into the resort's cenote-style water features.
The dining programme stands among the most extensive on the Riviera Maya, with ten restaurants ranging from a Mexican cantina and a seafood grill to an international buffet and specialty tasting experiences. Twelve bars and snack stations round out the food and beverage offering. The all-fun-inclusive rate covers unlimited access to all Xcaret parks — including Xcaret, Xplor, Xel-Há, and Xavage — a significant value proposition for families seeking multiple park experiences without additional ticketing costs.
Evening cultural performances in the Xcaret park's grand theatre are among the highlights of a stay. The resort features three main pools, a kids' club, a spa, a fitness centre, and a range of eco-activities including snorkelling in underground rivers within the hotel grounds. The property is popular with Mexican families and international visitors seeking a nature-focused, culturally immersive holiday at a set-price package.
