Xcaret Park - 77710 Playa del Carmen

There are not enough words to express how amazing this park is and I didn't even explore the full park as I was with my mother who was hesitant to do some of the water activities. Yet even my older aged mother loved the park. Most importantly do not miss the show. It's a long wait if you get there early but it's definitely worth it. I can't wait to go back.

Definitely a go to place. Don’t necessarily have to pay for premium to get dinner if u are big family as u can buy a normal meal for around 15 dollars and don’t need a locker as they give u a bag FOR FREE before u jump in a under ground river. U can get your own snorkeling mask and save like $40 dollars per person. They do provide safety jacket for FREE. Overall good experience and definitely recommend to all !! They have different programs throughout the day , different locations different times so just make sure to choose which one u wanna attend. U can feel like u will get lost but maps all over as well so u should be just fine ?

We came on May 9th and had an amazing experience. Our tour guide, Javier, was excellent. I am so glad I could see so many animals and natural foliage. I also loved the diversity of the facility. The Mayan River Float was almost surreal. The stained glass, the bats, and the mangrove forests were phenomenal. I also really enjoyed the coral that you had in the aquarium, and the aviary. Honestly, I am so glad I came here and am looking forward to eventually coming back again.

This park is definitely one of the best - it is so large it can be overwhelming but I'd still encourage anyone to take their time, just maybe make a plan. There is a ton to see and a heavy emphasis on Mayan culture and flora/fauna. Some of the exhibit areas were really well done - the aviary reminded me totally of Jurassic Park. Nice expansive gift shop at the end - great for a leisurely browse if you like that sort of thing. Warning once inside the prices are HIGH.. we got a fruit drink type thing and it ended up being about $14 CAD. Would come back if I was in the area - tons to do and lots of nice places to chill out and relax, or go on more adventurous things if you want. One star off as I just can't get behind the dolphin enclosure areas.. just seems cruel and they swim around looking quite depressed until it is time to work. Not my favorite thing to see. TIPS: Wear comfy shoes Bring sunscreen Bring a change of clothes They have lockers for swimming activities Bring a water bottle (or a few)

One of the best ecological water park on the world, it can be expensive for a large family but I can tell you it’s well worth it. Arrive early and be ready to explore and swim, in addition book your activities, I recommend underground swimming and paragliding. Great food, amazing views but make sure check the best time to visit so you don’t get too much rain or heat. Bring water shoes (recommend mole skin as you’ll be walking most of the time on wet shoes and you don’t want to be in discomfort later on the day with blisters) and ecological sun block (buy it outside as it’s expensive at the park). Make sure don’t get drunk, (seen too many people doing it) you don’t want to miss all the activities and places to visit as you’ll have no time to waste. At night don’t forget to go to the stadium to see one of the best cultural and amazing shows of Mexico’s history, try to seat on the center to get an excellent view, if still hungry spend some money to get the dinner. Overall you don’t want to miss this opportunity to have fun, learn from the beautiful Mexican culture and eat amazing food while swimming in the caves, many activities and overall nice weather.

The night show is a must... it was really spectacular. The day activities are fun as well, especially seeing some special animals and fishes. The inclusive lunch is tasty. You will need more time to go through all activities available. However as a nature person, i would prefer just to see the night show and spend the day in the ocean instead of in a water park. If you have kids and teens, this place is perfect to spend entire day.

Stunning resort with plenty to do, although additional activities comes with an additional price tag. Paid extra to swim with the dolphins and do sea trek. Long day with lots of walking, good food selections available, show at the end (7-9pm) felt extremely long after being there for 12 hours, however entertaining and worth seeing. Transportation included, picked us up from the hotel and straight back no issues. Staff are kind and helpful. Definitely worth a visit if you can keep up with all the walking!

Absolutely outstanding experience. From the original booking to the hotel pickup, to orientation, upgrade of our tickets, scheduling the many activities and getting through the day, everything was flawless, well organized. The park was very clean. Food at the buffet was outstanding. All staff was very accommodating and helpful. Attractions were easy to find, you luggage was hauled for you while you were swimming across the park. Even non-swimmer did perfectly well. Life vests, water shoes, snorkels, waterproof camera holders, everything was available on site. The animal encounters were adorable. The end-of-the night show was spectacular, 2 hours long and educational. The 7-course gourmet meal was a feast for the senses. I can't say enough. This is a must-have experience.
