It’s amazing places to see we had tons of fun me and my kids. And we have gone back to all the parks 4 years in a row.
May
Xenses park is really cool park as well actually all the Xcaret parks are well worth the money and each park you need a full day or more
Justin
May ya it looked like it.
Shannon
I would also like to book an here let me know if you find any good deals I've been looking for some time now.
Justin
Shannon I've heard black Friday is the time
Barbara
Xcaret is a must as well as Chichen Itza , I have been to both
Jen
Occidental Xcaret is amazing
Justin
Jen looks like a lack of beach at the resort, or are the pictures misleading? Also what are the rooms and food like?
Mike
Xelha is the best of all IMO
Justin
Mike hmmm I looked at that and thought it was cool, but was on the fence. Is it mostly water based activities?
Mike
Justin yes it is. I just find it is the best value for the money. Xcaret has the most variety but it is less activity based than Xelha
Justin
Mike what activities are there? Is it mostly snorkeling?
Mike
Justin small zip lines, water slides, Cliff Jumping, tubing through mangroves, nature walks. I’m sure there is more but that’s what I spent most of my time doing.
There are also paid adventures within like dolphin swims, underwater walk, snuba.

I’ve been to Xcaret and Xelha, Tukum and Chichen Itza and Loved them! My daughter (who travelled in her 20’s) had a Blast at Xplor - great selection of activities, focussed more on her age group than mine.
I found Xelha to be much more focussed on water activities than Xcaret, which had more variety. A combination of Xcaret (water, jungle, culture/history) and Xplor (more adventure focussed) would be great! Chichen Itza is Fascinating, and the scale of it blew me away; the ruins at Tulum are a beautiful wander with a baby-powder soft beach down the cliff (just remember you have to walk up again).

Travelling with kids? if so Xel Ha hads down, so much fun (even without kids) Chichen Itza is cool but it's a long day and it's so incredibly hot with no shade at all. When we went you were allowed to climb the ruins now you are not.

Xel-Ha, Chichen Itza, and Tulum, Quintana Roo
