We spent a full two days exploring the XCaret Eco Park. Our favorite things were the dinner show (the first hour is the best ... it features the Mayan-theme. The second hour is full of dances from the various Mexican regions). We loved floating through the underground canals, the butterfly gardens, seeing the wildlife. It is pricy, but we got... More

We were staying at the Gran Bahia Principe Coba down Highway 307 and wanted to check out the night show but didn't want to spend the whole day at the resort due to the money we felt we would end up spending. We had also had an 'average' time at Xel-ha, finding it to have no substance compared to other... More

One of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. We seen and experienced things we would of never seen any where else. The staff was very friendly and the park was very organized. Lunch was included in our package and the authentic Mexican food was amazing.

Very big park with not that much to do. If you go near the beach you can not get a chair, people bring there stuff you would think they were moving in.

We decided between Xcaret or Xe-chel, we travelled with 4 kids and are very glad to have chosen this. It was quite expensive for six so we didn't do the optional activities except the dinner show which was absolutely wonderful! There would have been little time for the optional activities anyways as this place is huge. Next time we will... More

We had visited Xcaret in 2005 with our son, who was then 3, and were keen to go back as we'd really enjoyed it. Not wanting to waste time, I booked all-inclusive tickets in advance, and during the booking process decided to change the day of our visit. The agent I spoke to was very helpful and assured me it...

This eco park has a lot of activities to offer, one day is not enough. They have good customer service from the moment you enter the park, claiming your equipments, towels, and when returning them. Facilities are clean, the food is great and the show is fantastic. There is a need for improvement with the process of ordering and claiming... More

Amazing place. Incredibly well organized and operated, food, activities, etc. They've paid attention to every detail to make sure you have an unforgettable experience. The night show is the highlight and a must. The show alone is worth the price of admission. Don't pay for any extras like swimming with dolphins, snorkeling, etc. You can do that elsewhere for a...

This activity left me feeling flat. I think it is overpriced for what it is. While there is lots to do (so plan on a full day), we went primarily to swim the rivers. What we found were really cold waters (my daughters lips were purple by the end) and there was nothing to look at. They provide you with... More

Beautiful, full of activities and really natural looking park. Swim in an underground river, snorkel, explor Mayan village and see their rituals, visit colorful mexican cemetery, etc. Book a night show and a dinner, really worth it!
