    Definitely a bit surprised by this . I have to agree with the other comment where they list that there are several parks you have access to and I am surprised that you didn’t know about the parks because they advertise them everywhere on the resort even on the bus trip on the way there.. Not to mention this place has some of the best service and quality food and drinks and even without considering the parks, the property itself is amazing and very unique, it doesn’t even feel Ike you’re still in Mexico. I’ve gone with a group of 20 seasoned travelers and everyone was blown away. But we are all entitled to our opinions, I just had to say that I was seriously shocked by this review. I’m actually going back again next year! lol!

    • @LetsGoPhill
      @LetsGoPhill หลายเดือนก่อน

      I could be wrong, but it sounds like you stayed at their resort & got access to all of the parks by doing so. I booked rooms at a different resort and was only able to visit the theme park portion. The experience was by no means a bad one, but just not something I would pay for a 2nd time.

    • @kiaracansing
      @kiaracansing หลายเดือนก่อน

      @ gotcha.. yes that is correct I stayed at the Hotel Xcaret Property . I believe they call it the Disneyland of Mexico when referring to all of the parks and the full experience. I think you should go stay there and get the full experience. I really think you’ll enjoy it! 🤗

  • @legacyhuntress
    @legacyhuntress 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You only went to one of the parks. Xcaret Mexico is more of an eco park. People who say it’s like Disney usually mean the entire Xcaret park system or they’ve gone to Xplor, Xenses, Xavage , Xel-Ha etc. They’ve gone on the zip lines, drove the atvs or whitewater. If you stay at Hotel Xcaret you get access to all of the parks as part of your all inclusive stay and though it’s expensive the inclusion of transfers between parks, hotel and airport besides the regular all inclusive resort amenities makes it well worth the price and the parks have something for everyone.

    • @LetsGoPhill

    Agree totally with what you stated in this review. My wife and I went in 2019 when it was still pretty new, thought the food was great everywhere, grounds were laid out well and immaculate. All kinds of stuff to do on the resort (back then, they even had a batting cage, but I doubt it was used much). On the other hand, service was incosnistent, they werent rude, but far from the best service weve had, and we were in Privilege. We had two butlers and may have seen them three times between both. The way the buildings are separated and the number of options you have for pools and daytime places to hang out may be good for choices, but I agree that it hinders a community feel and meeting new people. And, you are spot on with the constant upselling and the push for the H10 tour. But I feel thats the case with the Cancun/Riveria Maya in general...you are being sold or hustled from the moment you get through customs until you arrive at the airport to depart for home. We are going back in two months,

    Very accurate review.... Was at this resort in 2023. Good resort, not great. Almost no beach. Could be deal breaker for most. Only ate at the beach restaurant once. Usually long lines to get seated. Ended up walking all the way back to buffet restaurant. There 5 pools, but you don't have access to all the pools. Made the mistake of not booking El Beso "adults only building". Nice walking narrow/long resort.

I read "dress shoes". I have no intention of bringing dress shoes to Mexico. nikes or vans ok? When do you get access to the app, and how did you book transport to and from the airport? thank you!

    • @LetsGoPhill

      Tennis shoes would be fine (from my experience) but that can always change. I think the goal for most dress codes is to keep an upscale feel to the place just don’t ruin the vibe and I think you’ll be fine. We pre booked transport separately, so I couldn’t answer that one.
