Was there for 9 nights, it was great! The beach is beautiful and private they also have 2 large pools, one being adults only. The buffets are better than most of the restaurants that you need to make a reservation at. They have two buffets, one near the beach, one by the hotel and they also have a snack bar with a decent selection by the pools. The greenery surrounding the property is very nice especially the f you’d like to see animals like flamingos and deer which have their own enclosures but they also have monkeys, coatis (Mexican raccoons), lizards and more. The rooms are clean, water pressure isn’t the best but overall they’re good and all seem to have a balcony. There are a few rooms that you can get that are swim up to the ‘balcony’. All the staff are kind and helpful.

This resort went from wonderful to bellow average. This was my 3rd time going there, the 1st two times I loved it but this one was not good at all, the food wasn’t good at all, couldn’t even eat the food at Los Olivos, the drinks were terrible, they used to do premium liquor now they use generic stuff. I’m really sad and disappointed. I also wish the Expedia desk would be a little more helpful.

I don’t want to rant, and of course am grateful for the opportunity to travel. However, I will never stay here again. The staff is trained to relentlessly try to sell their “exclusive” tier property. We were approached daily about this, and were told that we should not have booked through Expedia because we wouldn’t get the chance to stay in their exclusive areas- in fact, there were signs everywhere reminding people that they would not be allowed access to the “Royal level”. Additionally, they did not honor the VIP status. I was not offered a discount on spa service and didn’t receive a room upgrade until a day and a half before we left, and ONLY after they received a negative review from me. The property was decent but not worth the agita.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay.We regret to hear that the efforts to share information about our exclusive property tier felt overwhelming. Our intention is to offer options for an enhanced experience, and we apologize if this was not communicated effectively. The signage regarding Royal level access is intended for clarity, and we are sorry if this detracted from your experience.We take concerns about VIP status recognition very seriously, and we deeply regret any oversight that may have occurred during your stay. Please note that upgrades are subject to availability, although our front desk team will make every effort to accommodate your requests, and while we strive to ensure our guests' satisfaction, it appears we fell short in your case. Please accept our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience these issues may have caused.We are pleased, however, that you found the cleanliness of your room and the condition of our hotel to be satisfactory. Our staff works diligently to maintain our property to the highest standards, and we are glad that these positive aspects resonated with you during your stay.We hope to welcome you back.

This was our third time visiting the resort because we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the past. This time we brought our son & my husbands parents hoping to show them a great vacation. BUT it definitely did not start out great. The first room they were put in had high level of paint fumes due to them painting it and the one next door. As well as an air conditioner that should have been retired because it barely worked. They requested to move to another room, which the resort did accommodate to. Next room that they were put it was worse. Water started pouring out of the vent in the ceiling resulting in their clothes getting wet. When someone came to “fix” it he sucked the water out of the vent and closed it. The guy also turned the breaker off and did not turn it back on so when our parents came back to their room there was no electricity. Lastly, for it to be such a large resort they normally have golf carts running to help people around, but we were informed that they were all broke down except for the Royal members. The resort itself is beautiful and great location next to the park. But my husband and I were so disappointed at how the trip went because we brought his parents there to see how great it was. It did not meet our expectations like it has in the past. We will sadly be trying a different resort next time.

The staff was helpful and polite. The staff at the bars were awesome. The specialty restaurants were the biggest disappointment - D’Oriental in particular. The room was kept clean but the black mold that was painted over in the bathroom was a big no. Did not use the AC due to a very peculiar moldy smell. Maybe an electric fan in the bathroom would help?

The resort is amazing. An enjoyable 5 minute walk from the main doors of Xcaret. Don’t feel like walking? They have a complimentary boat that will take you there as well. The resort is beautiful and feels like a little town, but tipping culture is ridiculous. (Might be all of Cancun though)— bring plenty of singles as there is no one that is willing to give you loose change. The landscaping around the resort is well kept and we saw bunch of animals just free roaming. Food was amazing, just stay away from the Italian reservation (ok but not worth it) and lastly, the beach was crystalline clear and we could tell that staff goes above and beyond to keep it that way.

The food was so-so. Many of the staff members were incredibly rude! This is one of the lower costing resorts. The grounds were pretty, but the rooms needed some care. Expedia books this as an all inclusive trip, but that isn’t necessarily true! I met my family there and although we all booked on Expedia, we didn’t seem to get the same benefits

This place was perfect for my family of small kids (3 years and 7 months). This resort is huge but stroller friendly. It was perfect for my toddler who loves to run everywhere. The people there were great and the food was delicious. Many options for swimming. We got the unlimited Xcaret experience, which was perfect for small kids to do everything slow vs jamming it all in one day or two. The park is literally attached to the resort so walking in and out is only about 5 mins with two entry points. The entertainment, the beach lagoon, the pools, it was all great. The buildings are a bit older and more ecolodge feeling (which is perfect for this place that is all nature) so if you have accessibility needs, make sure to highlight those as there is no elevator at the individual hotel lodging buildings. Lots of wild life and lovely trails within the resort. We loved that we were able to snorkel and see beautiful fish in the freshwater beach and pool. Beautiful Mayan landmarks to discover. Expedia has its own building (building 22 which is closer to the beach and one of the Xcaret entrance) and Booking through Expedia has its perks like making sure all your a la carte reservations are done at once vs waiting in line each day to book them. There is also a common room in the Expedia building with coffee and breakfast treats (for a quick start to your morning). Make sure to talk to the Expedia customer service to know what perks you have as an Expedia member.

I appreciated the abundance of beach and pool chairs and the opportunity to observe wildlife in an eco-friendly atmosphere. However, I was disappointed with the room arrangements for my family of five. Despite booking two rooms, we were initially placed on different floors and had to request multiple times to be accommodated together. Our children's ages are 9, 5, 1 year old. Dealing with this issue, especially with young children, was inconvenient and time-consuming. It greatly detracted from our goal of spending quality time together as a family, which was the essence of our vacation. Additionally, one of the concierges was persistently pushy about attending a lengthy presentation to join their "vacation club", despite my repeated disinterest. This added unnecessary stress to our stay, as we were constantly having to decline the invitation and deal with the attendant attitude and unhelpfulness. Furthermore, the restaurant reservation system was inconvenient, allowing only two days of reservations for a five-day stay, resulting in frequent waits and reliance on the buffet. Moreover, the food was not good. The most frustrating aspect was the refusal of the restaurant staff to accommodate our group of 13, despite available tables, preventing us from dining together each night. Overall, the experience was disappointing, particularly for larger groups, due to the lack of flexibility and unhelpful policies. I would not consider returning or recommending this destination.

This resort was above and beyond our expectations! The staff were some of the friendliest we have ever experienced. We truly felt like no matter where we went. They went out of their way to say hello or good morning or something! The Resort was absolutely stunning! All of the animals, including the monkeys, made it extra fun. The food was delicious! The only recommendation we would have is to change the reservation Procedure. Getting up early to make a dinner reservation when you are on vacation seems a bit much. It didn’t bother us too much though Because everything else was so exceptional. We will definitely be returning very soon!
