I love Xcaret. One thing that he does not really talk about is that your admission to the different parks and transportation to and from them is also included in your stay. This is another reason why the resort does not feel packed in the daytime. People are taking advantage of this (admission is typically $100+ per person, depending on the park).

You’re right!

We recently booked 8 nt for $7K. Definitely expensive but most people are also taking advantage of the parks which are $100+ pp for each one. We plan on going to at least four which is a huge value. I’ve visited at least 40 resorts in the Cancun area for work and Hotel Xcaret has always stood out to me - between the atmosphere, rivers, activities, parks, and high quality food & drink, it really is in a league of its own. If you’re not interested in the parks and just want a luxurious Cancun vacation then Secrets Moxche, Atelier Playa Mujeres, & Unico are favorites!

Well 8 nights for 7k is a great deal. I paid 6k for 5 nights traveling this month.

@@user-cw1eg5mq8s I’m definitely not complaining at all! It’s way more than I’d pay normally but it’s our honeymoon so we obviously are doing something a little more luxurious. We also booked over a year in advance so that really helps the price

I stayed at a Palace Resort last year for my honeymoon and we ended up doing the sales spiel for both Palace and Xcaret. We bought the membership to Xcaret for half of what Palace was offering with WAY more benefits and a much better property/food experience. We are staying at Xcaret for a week next month with 4 of our 6 nights comped because we paid our membership off within a few months. Can't wait to experience staying at Xcaret and at the member rate for the next couple of decades.

It's because that specific casa that you're in, It's the musica casa. That specific swim up is river water, that is why it is cold.

Thanks for the input!

I stayed at La casa de La playa last year when it was only 10 months since the opening I paid 2200/day but I decided to try the vip Arte n I booked in July/2023 for January 2024 through an agent and she told me if we book for a group of 10 people we’ll get a huge discount so we ended up paying from 680CAD to 550CAD for a day depends which room. I can confidently say even if we paid 1000/day it is worth every single dollar since the resort has a lot to offer. I will be going there again next year probably in February

Agreed, just not sure if the swim up option is worth it. You get a great room regardless at Xcaret Arte

Price depends on the time of year you go..plug in August thru Nov for the best prices

​@GoTravelTours is access to the Xcarte Mexico side still included when you're staying on the Arte side? I've been hearing conflicting information. Some say it is included, and others say it's included only ig you're staying in a specific room category or casa.

@@christinad2611 if you stay at the Xcaret Arte you do have access to Xcaret. Xcaret Arte is the adult only hotel. Xcaret hotel is where kids can stay. There are a lot of confusing things about that Resort that takes some research but if you watch enough videos you'll figure it out. There's lots of information on their website and some people even sell cheat sheets for 20 bucks😂. Both hotels give you access to all 10 Parks. you do have to make reservations for eight of them. There are two parks explore and another one I don't remember the name that you don't need reservations. It's the same way with the restaurants, you have to make reservations as soon as you arrive at resort, or else you won't be able to get in. I know it's a lot of information but the resort is so big you'll have to go several times in order to do everything.

He didn’t metion the rooftop pools in each house.

You’re right, apologies! That will bring up the pool count. In my experience, people didn’t spend as much time at those as the main pools

They count the swim up pools as part of the number of pools - a lot of resorts do that for some reason, which is annoying.

Does staying at arte give you full access to Xcaret Mexico? I heard in 2023 you could not dine at Xcaret Mexico if you were staying on the arte side

To be fair, this was filmed in 2022 in the morning when everyone was probably still sleeping 😴 but a lot of them make money off timeshares, spas (which are not included), and room upgrades. And then of course labor costs are cheaper, as is food and alcohol, and usually quality of food is fairly poor relative to price

It is empty during the day because included in the stay are crazy excursions so everyone is there during the day

$80 For a massage at Xcaret Arte? 😂 Try $250 USD per person. That's the cheapest massage they have now.
