10 Tips for Hotel Xcaret Mexico & Parks - All Inclusive- June 2024

Ten Tips
1. Make your reservations for dinner and parks 30 days out. It's difficult to get reservations for anything when you get there.
2. Invest in good closed toed supportive water shoes if you are going to the Xcaret parks.
3. Bring multiple swimsuits and water shoes so you have time for them to get out in between use.
4. If you are ordering room service during the popular times such as around 8 AM, order it 15 minutes earlier than you need. They run a little behind at peek times.
5. If you are going to an all day park where the bus leaves early, order room service for breakfast the night before.
6. Take motion sickness medicine with you if you are going to Xenses and Xocomilico.
7. When going to any park at night, wear bug spray.
8. Unless you are a huge selfie person, purchase the photo pass. It's a lot more convenient than carrying around a camera or phone and it captures angles that you can’t get with your cameras.
9. If you like garlic and butter, the fresh catch at Las Playas for lunch is amazing. Their Tuna tartar is also great.
10. If going during the hot season, take a portable fan and cooling towel. The humidity is rough!

Bonus Info!
1) You can also take a boat to Xcaret Park boarding is at the end of the walkway near the octopus pool. We did that on our second visit to the park. You get to see some new scenery and see some shops that are close by.
2) We originally started out wearing our dry clothes and changing when we got to each park but we quickly learned that most all activities involve water so we started just wearing our swimsuits, watershoes, and a coverup so that when we got there we were ready to go except for stashing our dry items in a locker.
3) I purchased a dry bag before we went. I don't think it was really necssary. They give you towels at the pool at Hotel Xcaret and at the other parks my items were always in a locker. Hotel Xcaret does give you a cloth light-weight beach bag. It is hanging in your closet when you get there.
4) Toiletries in the hotel room: they had shampoo, conditioner, shaving cream, disposable razor, body wash, bubble bath, bath salt, loofa, comb, and sewing kit. Their shampoo and body line all smells like honey. The salt water was very harsh on my hair though so if you are someone who needs your hair to look amazing all the time, you should take some hair repair products with you to repair the salt damage. I just did a hair mask when I got home to repair mine.
5) Don't bring a regular refillable water bottle unless you just want to. Hotel Xcaret will provide you with pink ones at the hotel. If you go to Tulum or Chitzen Itza, they will give you a clear refillable water bottle with filtered water to take with you. Most parks have refillable water bottle stations but the ruins do not. We purchased a Grayl water bottle to take with us and any water outisde of venues owned by Xcaret, we filtered the water through the Grayl before use. The water at Xcaret & its' parks are safe to drink (bottle filler and glass bottles). We also used this bottle when we went to Greece a few years ago. https://www.amazon.com/GRAYL-GeoPress...
