Not to be mean or anything but his Hotel SCREAMS Mexican culture, maybe you missed that point? It is luxury combined with rustic Mexican art. From the decorations to even the trash cans, all are made by local talented artisans that pay tribute to the different states in the Mexican Republic. Mexican cuisine can be a punch on someone's palette because the spices and flavors used, but in my opinion it is the BEST. Obviously, this is your opinion and experience but I encourage everyone to try it for themselves because there is a chance you will love it :).

Hi Ana. Thank you for you comment and opinions 😊 Don't get me wrong, I loved the hotel. And what was "wasted money" as the caption says is the days my wife was food poisoned 😅 so basically nothing to do with the hotel, more a controversial caption, because it give more views. Allthough i think a lot of the food in the buffet was tasteless. Some of the dishes where more tasty and good. But of course my opinions 😊

I was there last August and I state with all honesty the service is definitely 5-star. I'm not sure what experience they were expecting or looking for, but it is a top-notch hotel. You get a personal waitstaff person/butler who guides you when you get there. They go over the hotel, the dining and excursions if you haven't pre-booked them, and takes you to your room. The food is nothing less than spectacular. Even the buffet style places like the Mercado and Cayuco brunch were amazing. He's right, alot of KZread travel videos are sponsored but they were not lying. Totally worth the price. The only thing I'll say is that it's VERY steeped in Mexican culture. Every little detail down to the food selections, decor, and atmosphere. Me and my friends loved that aspect but it's worth nothing.

I disagree about the food. some of the fusion food is a hit or miss, but the Mexican food is pretty spot on. actually, the food is better at the sister property, hotel xcaret Mexico. maybe you just don't like Mexican food or know what its supposed to taste like? no offense, but Mexican food in Europe is pretty horrific, its all dumbed-down and westernized. I just dont think you are used to authentic Mexican and it clashed with your palette. ive seen other gringos at xcaret complain about the food too. you probably noticed that most of the clientele at xcaret are Mexican or from Latin America. xcaret does not cater to western tourists. its one of the few locally owned and operated hotels in the area, so almost all the food is Mexican. you can't serve locals bad Mexican food and get away with it and this is one of the most popular hotels in the area so they must be doing something right. palmaia is a totally different kind of resort. it was created by a westerner for a western audience, which is the vast majority of riviera Maya resorts. its also more of a wellness resort, totally different vibe vs xcaret. I do agree that xcaret service can be a hit or miss, but really royal Caribbean? thats such a strange comparison. I mean royal is like a budget to mid level cruise line. its a totally different segment than xcaret and its not even a hotel. personally, I haven't seen amazing service at royal outside of their premium or luxury brands.

Hi Ken Lewis. I appreciate your opinions and the effort you have put into your comment. So thank you for taking the time to comment on our video. I am more or less talking about the buffet in the scenario over (I am also sitting in the buffet) They had options that were good in the buffet as well, but that was some of the Mexican food and the fresh fruit. The European cousin they tried to make was not up to speed if I may say. In my opinion, we have been served much better Mexican food from food trucks and restaurants both in Playa Del Carmen and Tulum. But remember these are just opinions from a European-tasting mouth, so It's not a "know-it-all" situation. When paying a price for a hotel like that I think they did a lot of things that made it feel cheap service vice. Examples are the sales meeting, waiting 40 minutes on check-in, and waiting 30 minutes on check-out. We may have been unlucky with that experience and when my wife got food poisoning, may have ruined some of the experience. My intention in bringing RCCL into the mix as they actually manage to do personalized service on boats with 6000+ people. We have been on 6 cruise ships and our experience is extraordinary. Waiters in the main dining room, washing personnel, and so on care to remember your name. That is appreciated. So it may be a bad explanation. We really did enjoy our stay at Xcaret, and the hotel is stunning. The food at Kibi Kibi is very good as well.

@@rolfbjj did you try any of the other restaurants besides the buffet? xcaret is definitely not going to be able to do western food well. but then again, are you really going to Mexico for the pizza? I disagree with the pricing, yes it is on the higher-side in comparison to other all-inclusive in the area, but look at how much you get for the price - food, beverage, and all the entertainment/parks. on a price per-person basis, the value is almost unbeatable. the only other place that is somewhat close in comparison would be Disney, but that is significantly more expensive. just lodging costs at Disney alone are the same price as xcaret. its rare to get personalized service in hotels/resorts outside of the luxury segment. and xcaret is definitely not at the same level as a st regis or ritz, which actually cost more and don't include F&B. xcaret is also way too big at 900 rooms to be able to pull off something like that. I mean palmaia only has 1/3 of that number of rooms. also, when you are on a cruise you typically have the same wait and housekeeping staff for the whole trip. the staff keeps changing around at bigger resorts. well, if you are looking for over the top service the place next to arte, casa de la playa, has extremely personalized service (maybe too personalized) at only 60 rooms. of course, you are going to pay for that level of service. im not saying xcaret is flawless, far from it, but I've been fortunate to stay at almost every major resort up and down riviera maya and this is by far one of the best in the area for the money.

Your comparison to using RCCL as a “yard stick” to measure other buffets - or food in general - is spot on. We’ve been fortunate enough to eat at some of the best restaurants in North America, as well as all inclusives, and cruises (Royal Caribbean and Celebrity), and we’re always so amazed at what they can do for food on the ships - breakfasts, to buffets to the dining room dinners, they’ve been some of the best meals we’ve had. They never serve ANYTHING subpar. As far as service, again cruises like RCCL set the bar high in our experience…in fact, we find the attention to service isn’t even as good at some of the nicest hotels, and at least as good as the best restaurants. Great review by the way, I appreciate the honesty.

But I think from junior suite an up, they should make an effort to remember your name. This is my opinion, nothing more than that. I think we both can agree that Xcaret is an extremely good hotel, and that its most definitely one of the best hotels in Mexico. And regarding you question: "Do you really come for the pizza?" Definitely not 😅 but then again we had already been one month in Mexico at the time we stayed at xcaret, ans are fortunate enough to be there as long as we like. So variations in food is important to us. The "waste of money" refers to my wife's food poisoning. And for some reason the headline on this video makes people who loves Xcaret, hate on it. We have 50% dislike, and it's the second video we have ever created. We are just trying to make an honest review, about how we experienced the hotel and make it in to a video. And in my opinion I think I spend most of the time in the video bragging about the hotel, but mentioning "average food" makes people go all "Nahhh I hate this review" 🤣 But think about it 900 rooms, people will experience the hotel differently.

Have you ever been on a cruise ship? Depends on company. But some of them have insane service, and much more personalized then Xcaret Arte. Also palmaïa has much more personalized and better service (of course a smaller hotel) But in terms of restaurant reservations and so on, we got cancelled 3 times for dinner due to problems with kitchen and so on. They first told us when we showed up to the door at the restaurant. And then they could not re-book us to another restaurant. So we ate 3 more nights then intended in the buffet. That would never had happened in Palmaïa. They used 45 ish min to check us in, because they want to sell in the sales presentation. If you go to Langham place in New York, you would get shocked if they did something like that. Then 30 new minutes to check out, and waiting 20 minutes on a taxi. All those things are service as well. And we where in a suite, in the most exclusive part of Xcaret Arte with the purple bracelets. I'm not saying the service is bad, I'm saying it has improvement's.

@@rolfbjj I have been, only to one though, it was fantastic, but once again, XCaret Arte was just insane for me. I actually just came back from XCaret Arte 2 days ago, so I still remember everything very good. Check out was less than 4 minutes, it even took that long because my wife wanted to buy pictures at the parks, so I had to pay them there. We were scheduled for the bus to the airport at 10:45, so we just arrived at 10:40 and were ready to go. We were also able to catch the bus to XCARET ARTE at the airport the day after we arrived, no questions asked. So, round trip with no issues at all. Check in was extremely quick, even earlier because oh well, room happened to be ready by 11:00ish am, so they just let us in, without any extra charge. Never had a single issue with my reservations at TAH-XIDO or CHINO POBLANO even though I really wasn't interested in their menu, but I did it anyway, because well, I had time. Everything else I had at the buffets was amazing. Aguachiles at CAYUCO, amazing, and I grew up in SONORA which has amazing aguachiles, along with Sinaloa. Also, the personalized ceviche that you can create is also extremely good, of course, if you know how to mix it. Pozole at MERCADO SAN JUAN also very tasty and very good. The only downside for me perhaps was the CHILAQUILES, but they were tasty enough, not as good as I expected, but that's my fault, because I should have let them know they ran out of it, so they could replace them, so I basically ate the leftovers that were soaky and not crispy anymore. But is ok. You might not be very familiar with mexican food and maybe not very interested in it, but these 2 buffets had very good authentic mexican food, especially for being in a buffet/resort I'm not even going to try Palmaia based on the extremely good & personalized service I got at XCARET ARTE. Plus, Palmaia cuisine is not for me, nor is very mexican by the looks of youtube videos. I don't live in Mexico anymore, so whenever I go back, I want to have good mexican food, not pretentious food. And by pretentious I really mean it. I've been to a lot of mexican places where they "cook mexican" for tourists, trying to impress, but the most flavorish mexican food, is the one you find on the streets, not on "fancy/resorts" restaurants (I can even put XCaret reservation restaurants in this). And with this, I totally get that you liked Palmaia more, not saying is bad food, I'm extremely sure is very tasty, just not what I am looking for. But for a more mexican vibe, with extremely good ass service, XCaret Arte is the place to go (for me). Plus, I get to go to the parks whenever I want and soak in in my culture? Any day of the week. Plus, the club was slayyyy, it goes until 4:00am, and there are tacos outside of it. 10000/10. I'm really sorry that you didn't have a good service, but the one I had was extremely, extremely good. Making me want to go back next year once again. Maybe after I come back, I will try Palmaia, but I'll have to wait until 2024 at least. I just didn't have enough days at XCARET and for me, is number one priority at Playa right now.

I can promise you a thousand % you will find better food in Mexico. I also compared the service to palmaïa the house of AIA, as we where on a couple weeks prior. And the service there is better and more personalized. A lot of people are saying this and that, but they have not tried Palmaïa, Banyan Tree Mayakoba, Rosewood Mayakoba, Viceroy and so on. It might be a reason why all those hotels has better rating. I've never said anything negative about Xcaret. But I am saying that there exists more personalized hotels witch ove a more exclusive feel. Different concepts.

If all you plan on doing is drinking margaritas by the pool, you can definitely do better than Xcaret. The whole reason to go to Xcaret is the parks, and most importantly the network of convenient shuttle busses to get you around. For most vacationers, being able to fly into Cancun and be driven everywhere for free avoids a lot of travel stress. The amazing architecture and natural feel of the resort is just a bonus. Sure you pay for it up front, but you know you're going to have an amazing vacation in sunny Mexico with minimal hassle and maximum safety.

Wow! Surprised you said service and food was better at a Royal Caribbean cruise. I’d never cruise again. Xcaret Arte is an amazing resort, food is excellent. Makes me wonder what you are used to. Your comment was very pretentious

Sorry to hear that. And calling my whole video pretentious is just rude. I was bragging of the hotel the whole time. Only marked a couple of things they can approve. I never said the service was bad, but everything has to be compared to a price point. If you try the resort Palmaïa in Playa del Carmen, you would get a much more personalized service. Xcaret was insane in every single way, just amazing. But people are so offended of my review, and write passive aggressive comments all over. Makes it hard to believe non of the people commenting are employees of Xcaret.

You missed the best rooms there. The ones that open up and you can climb right down into the under ground river from your room!

Thank you for you positive comment! I really do try to make the best content possible with the knowledge I have. This is the third video I ever created, so the content coming forward will be much better. But yes people did not exactly appreciate this video... I think 😅 It doesn't help that I'm eating a pizza when filming, people only believe what they can see. When they say we dont like Mexico food, its pretty absurd, as we lived in Mexico 5 months, and freaking love the food. 😅 Anyways! Thank you for you positive comment! I really do appreciate it.

not as big as Disneyland really ????? i have been to Disneyland for 13days with both my kids and i did it all ... got two signed books of princess signatures waiting in lines for hours and visiting stuff while in Xcaret Mexico i did go there 10 days and just my resort + 10 Park would took me at least 30 days to see it all ........... Xcaret Mexico hotel is way too expenside compared to Disney Land but you got way much stuff to do .

I might have done a wrong comparison here, and mixed Disneyland and Disney world. Xcaret Park is 200 acres, and Disneyland is 500 acres (remember this was before I ever visited Xcaret, and know more of it’s structures now) I remember I read somewhere that Xcaret had a 800 acre lot, and I also know Xcaret group started a project in 2022 in the Yucatán district of over 600 acres, witch the article states is bigger than the original Xcaret. But compared to Disney world (which is the comparison I thought I did 😂) Xcaret becomes the little league, as Disney world is 25.000 acres 😮

Anything for clickbait. Terrible review.

If you actually watch the video, you would know I’m not trying to make it look bad at all. I’m only talking positively about it. It’s absolutely one of the best. I just think Palmaïa has an edge as a hotel, and Xcaret has a huge edge when it comes to theme park

Is anybody at this place??? Looks depressing and deserted.

Strange review of the gym.... you will never find an eleiko bar at a resort gym so why even mention that? Who cares about eleio anyways? I would rather useaka or iron bull or rogue or zkc. eleiko is over rated and inconsistent. My opiniion on your girlfriend being sick is more likely from being in the sun all day and drinking too much. Happens to a lot of european people in mexico. Cringy review overall... maybe that is what you were going for ???

Your comment is so inaccurate as it could be. First of she don't drink, second she got food poisoned from chicken, witch is the most normal thing to get food poisoning from. Eleiko is good enough for the Olympic Games, and most definitely not overrated. You just disagree with everything to disagree. I don't understand how people can be so offended and rude after a video like that without being a employee of Xcaret.

@@trinabarnes8623 there really is. But you have to be careful saying anything negative about Xcaret Arte, because apparently a lot of people feel they have to defend the hotel. Even though I know a lot of employees comment on KZread videos that do point out something negative. The strange thing is that basically everything in the video is of positive art, except my opinion about the food. I have not said the food is bad, i just said it could taste more basically. While I was eating an empanada and a pizza slice 🤣 anyway people think it's a chicken nuggets, so let them ✨ But when we mentioned that we get food poisoning, people say we get sick from the sun. And that we don't like traditional Mexican food. Just because we are gringos (white people). That is just as rude as expecting something or painting something on any other ethnicity. We lived in Mexico for over 5 months, and I that would be hard to do if we don't like traditional Mexican food 😅

800€ a night 😂 11200€ for 14 days it's crazy and the plane ticket is not even in it. For That price i can get a plane ticket, rent a nice car, nice hotel, eat good food and mouve around the Yucatan and close regions... For less than that. Lazy people who wants every thing serve with out doing much pay the price.

I'm sorry to hear you are judging the whole video based on a comment that the food in the buffet is average. Witch it is. You will find much better Mexican food outside of the hotel. You are literally judging the whole video of based on 10 seconds of it. And the only thing i had a slightly negative opinion about was the food at Xcaret Arte, and I did not complain.

You're right. The food is fantastic at the buffet and in the restaurants, coming from a well-travelled chef and lover of Mexican food. I stayed for 6 days/5 nights and the service was top notch. This channel just needed some clickbait so they decided to slander the hotel in the thumbnail. Really lame.
