WONDERFUL. - Worse than going to Rome and not seeing the Pope, is going to Mexico and not visiting the Xcaret Park! Excellent! Spectacle at the end of the day....just seen!

A tropical paradise for all of the family.. a fantastic day out for everyone young and old - What am amazing day, you need the whole day to experience and explore everything, maybe two days to fit everything in. I recommended swimming with the dolphins, you get hands on with them and it's worth every penny, not expensive either. Definitely do the underground swim in the caves, water was a beautiful temperature and the scenery is stunning . Take water proof shoes, a water bottle, you can refill around the park for free, I'd probably do the swimming first on my next visit.. there's plenty to walk around and see if you don't want to do the swimming . Staff are very friendly and helpful too. They all clearly enjoy what they do .

In love with Rivera, Maya Xcaret - Without a doubt, a unique and special stay, and although I lacked time to tour other places, without any doubt, I would turn all colorful and makes you feel happy

The good: the park is... - The good: the park is amazing! Lots to do. Many animals, beach, the lazy river. The bad: locker rentals were included in our booking (yay!). What they don’t tell you is that you can rent towels but…while you can pay for the with a credit card, they demand the deposit is in pesos or USD cash. I needed 7 towels so they wouldn’t rent me until I gave them $70 or 700 pesos. I didn’t have any cash. They also asked for IDs and we traveled from Cancun without passports but luckily I had pictures of passports on my phone. ATM didn’t work inside of the park so I had to a) call my credit card company to set up a pin (really upset I had to do a cash advance) and b) go from inside the park to outside the park to get cash for the deposit.

Great but crowded - We did 2 day Xcaret visit on our own without tour companies but with some tips of a local guide. Pro tip #1: get a two day pass at the cashier entrance (not sold online). It’s a good deal! The park is so enormous, it’s impossible to experience it fully in one day. Pro tip #2: if you want to see jaguars and pumas, get their upon opening of the park, before 9am. Pro tip#3: do the river as soon as you can (preferably morning). It’s tiring, crowded, at times it’s dark, narrow and claustrophobic. We were kicked and pushed by others most of the ride. We got exhausted but it was a unique experience. Pro tip #4: get a photo package as some places are really hard to take any photos in (exp, River) We opted for the bag to get our belongings transport to last stop #23, where the river ends. The bag was free of charge. Buffet lunch was overpriced, not really worth it. We brought in some snacks and a staineless tumbler to fill at water stations. We were expecting to see more animals. Many experiences are extra $$. Delphinium is a total rip off, where you get charged double for photos. We skipped snorkeling and beach (too crowded) The show was the highlight of the visit, which was a professional theatric production and lasted about 2 hours. We did it on our second day at the park. Horse show starts at 5pm and was also great!

Exhausting day. VERY expensive. Bring money and lots of it. Rushed all day. Had no time to enjoy ourselves. - I had difficulty deciding how many stars to give this tour. Not because it wasn’t good but because we just felt so rushed all day. Upon arriving, we chose to add 2 activities to our package. We started with a swim in a river and underground caves. It was beautiful. But we had to rush through it so we would be on time for our next activity. A massage. It was really good but less than the 50 minutes we paid for. Then we had to rush to get to our next activity which was swim with sting rays. By then I was just starving. Well we had 40 minutes left to eat and change clothes so we wouldn’t miss the ride back. So had to eat in a rush. There was a nice band playing at the restaurant but my god it was loud. Way too loud. 2 days at the park costed us $760 and then adding the 2 activities and the picture package was another $670. Then we had to pay to borrow towels as if we didn’t pay enough already. If I can give an advice, just visit the park and forget adding activities or you’ll be rushed thru everything. There’s plenty of places I wanted to see but just didn’t have any time. We bought the photo package for $110 and we were charged an additional $32 for ONE drone picture we didn’t ask for. There was a tax on the swimming with sing rays cuz you know… $110 each for 20 minutes couldn’t cover that?!? Brutal. You have ONE entry for a restaurant so I felt it wasn’t really all inclusive. Bring a water bottle so you can refill it. Our second day will be at xelha and I’m hoping we can enjoy it more. I’m exhausted from the stress of worrying I won’t make it on time all day. Why does the bus have to leave so early? We didn’t want the night show it would have been too long of a day with the 2 h bus ride each way and of course dinner wasn’t included and we weren’t willing to spend any more. I wish the bus left at 6 pm so we wouldn’t have needed to rush so much. Zero time left to see the cats or butterflies…

Money-beating and disappointment - Very bad park, little to nothing to do. What a money-beater. And for almost all activities the main prize in addition to exhorbitant entrance fee. My kids thought it was a huge disappointment and wanted to go back to hotel quickly. Hundreds of dollars lighter. If only there had been a few fun water attractions!

Accessibility only in advertising. Our experience was painful, exhausting and very frustrating. - We had a previous accident with Xcaret Xailing, which left my brother injured and using a wheelchair. My brother has Down syndrome and his dream was to travel to Cancun and meet Xcaret. Unfortunately, this visit was very limiting and painful for him, as well as frustrating for me as an escort. We decided to continue with the visit thinking that it would be an accessible place, as promoted. But it was quite the opposite: the park has roads with stones that are not loose, but that make it very difficult to move a wheelchair, even having a good chair. There are steep rises and falls and gradients that make moving forward a constant and risky effort. My brother ended up in more pain and enjoying nothing. I was totally exhausted. Besides, I was promised ramp transportation, but it never came. I had to pay for a one-way taxi on my own, and for the return, when I ordered adapted transportation again, I was told that it was not their responsibility because I had bought the package at a Xcaret agency inside the mall Las Américas. How can Xcaret not be held accountable for its own agencies? All this made the visit even more frustrating. I do not recommend Xcaret for people with motor disabilities. Your accessibility message is advertising only. The reality was painful, insecure and disappointing. If you would like more details, I am willing to share them directly. The access to Xcaret Xailing only has a yellow strip to delimit unevenness, however that is for someone with good vision and know ethical sign not for disabled and does not have railings as it should be a disabled access and I have video that I can share where the accident was from and even there is blood on the ground as a sign of how it looked with the fall of my brother that I can share it. My brother suffered multiple injuries without being able to enjoy his dream vacation because of all this and we will continue with the trip but super limited in everything even we have been on island women could go but only locked almost by all the pain of my brother. I hope this review will help improve the experience for others

RACISM in its fullest glory. - The park employees are RACIST if you are Mexican, the park instructors who guide the nightly show when asking something are too dry and avoid being able to give you an instruction, I name an employee named Gabriela, who addressed me and my family very rudely when asking for tickets to the show. It was located at the West Gate side 6A On 17 June 2025. If you want to come to the park, enjoy the park and avoid talking to the staff. Tipping for almost anything is something that characterizes me but there are places where they earn a CRITICAL bad comment. Hopefully someone can encourage good treatment of anyone who visits this beautiful place without seeing races or ethnicities.
