Hotel xcaret mexico, playa del carmen | Best luxury resort in Mexico
Hello everyone and welcome back to The Luxury! This eco-minded, all-inclusive hotel opened
in December 2017, owned by the company Experiencias Xcaret that manages several area parks devoted
to Mexican and Mayan history, landscape, and culture. Certainly the Hotel Xcaret's biggest
appeal is that guests get free admission and transportation to the parks, as they can simply
hop on a bus or shuttle boat numerous times each day. However, there's a lot to see on-site
as well, with the design beautifully integrating with the natural rocks, rivers, and jungle.
Housing a whopping 900 rooms across five "casas," Let's dive into the luxury amenities of this
resort!

Alright let's get straight into the video!
Location The beachfront Hotel Xcaret has a fantastic
location for travelers planning on spending a lot of their time at one of the nearby parks.
Guests get free admission and transportation (by boat or bus) to all the parks, including
Xcaret eco-park (with raved-about Mayan shows), adventure-filled Xplor, and Xel-Ha, a great
snorkeling spot. Additionally, tours of Chichen Itza and area "cenotes" are part of the all-inclusive
package, with the former about a two-and-a-half-hour drive away. Guests aren't within walking distance
of anything, but central Playa del Carmen is about an 18-minute drive away. Laid-back
Tulum and its ruins are a 45-minute drive south, and Cancun is an 80-minute drive north.
Cancun International Airport is a free hour's long shuttle ride.
Rooms The 900 rooms at Hotel Xcaret are all decorated
similarly, done in a contemporary, beachy aesthetic with lots of locally inspired elements.
Expect modern wood furniture, beige marble floors, pink accent walls, embroidered tapestries
from Oaxaca, and turquoise pillows. The crowing feature of each room is the furnished outdoor
terrace, which has chairs and a hammock, plus loungers and ocean vistas in some. Starting
at 575 square feet and getting considerably larger in upgraded units, rooms are spacious
and all fit a sofa bed, glass table and chairs, desk, and jetted tub. Bathrooms also come
with separate rainfall showers, luxe toiletries that include bath bubbles, digital scales,
hairdryers, robes, and slippers. Also standard are flat-screen TVs, free minibars with beer
and soda, Nespresso machines, closets with laptop-sized safes, free Wi-Fi, and air-conditioning.
Rooms are spread among five buildings, each with their own theme. Casa Fuego is for adults
only, and it has an exclusive ocean-view rooftop pool, bar, and restaurant. Casa Agua is by
the spa and centers around wellness, while Casa Tierra is geared toward families. Rooms
on levels 1 and 2 are typically overlooking the river or garden. Large suites are available,
some of which have separate living spaces or swim-up access.
Spa The resort has an amazing spa! The elegant
spa is gorgeous, featuring 15 individual cabins in their own cave-like structures, a hydrotherapy
area with hot and cold pools, a sauna, and salon for nail and hair treatments.
The spa is a perfect vacation treat!
Dining There are 10 restaurants and eight bars on-site,
almost all of which are free for everyone to use. The Ha' restaurant is a gourmet tasting
menu eatery run by Michelin-starred chef Carlos Gaytan; it's only open for dinner and it requires
an added fee and reservation. Adults staying in Casa Fuego have exclusive access to an
all-day a la carte restaurant and rooftop bar. The main buffet restaurant is Mercado
17, which has 10 themed stations to resemble a Mexican market. Other standouts include
the dinner-only Xin-Gao, with Teppanyaki and a sushi bar, and Las Cuevas, a Mexican-meets-international
spot serving dinner in a cave setting by the river. Eight bars are spread among the resort,
including a swim-up bar, and all liquor, wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages are covered.
Guests can also find stands selling tacos, fruit, or juices set up. Food receives positive
reviews across the board.
Pools Hotel Xcaret México offers an all-fun inclusive
program that you won’t find anywhere else. The resort has 13 pools.
Multiple pools, a lagoon, and river offer spots to take a dip, snorkel, or use the free
kayaks and stand-up paddleboards. The ocean-view infinity pool with a swim-up bar is a favorite,
as is the lagoon with its own stretch of sand and tropical fish. Toward the back of the
resort is a family-friendly kids' pool with waterslides, plus an adjacent bar for adults.
Casa Fuego has its own sleek rooftop pool. The oceanfront beach is long and lovely, kept
natural with rocky areas. Loungers sit under umbrellas and flags designate the swimming
conditions -- red means dangerous, while green is safe.
A well-regarded kids' club has organized activities all day, and it's next to the children-friendly
buffet restaurant, Chibali. Tennis courts and three gyms (a couple exclusive to certain
buildings) are available, plus the hotel puts on free yoga, meditation, and Tai chi each
day. A gorgeous chapel is also on-site, and it provides gorgeous vistas of the surrounding
landscape and Caribbean. Wedding and function spaces are available.
