Located by the sea near Cancun, Xcaret boasts more than 50 attractions that take you through the heart of the jungle in many ways. Nature lovers will delight in visiting Jaguar Island and the Butterfly Pavilion, or walk through caves, archaeological sites and a Maya village.

    Xcaret Eco Archaeological Park is stunning, but overall I didn’t feel it was worth the high price, especially as tickets are cheaper directly from the site. Lockers aren’t really necessary if you have a waterproof pouch. The night show was fantastic and visually impressive, though the story could flow more smoothly. Beautiful place to visit, but the overall value for money was a bit disappointing.

    The transfer was ridiculous. The park opened at 8:30. We were picked up at 9 and then went to other hotels to pick up other guests (which is fine) however 45 minutes later we drove past our own hotel! Meaning we didn’t get there till after 10. Valuable park time wasted.

    Great experience, staff friendly and helpful, especially Eddy on the Adrenaline experience. Felt the entry price was a bit high especially when you add additional experiences

    The site is amazing, organisation is on par with a 3 year old organising a trip. Multiple busses arrived from the same company, identical decals , identical staff uniforms. And by mind power alone we should know which line to get in , sadly most of us failed our Jedi training so failed in the task. Driver was not happy we didn’t understand his mind control or Spanish so in a rather rude manner pointed to line 2. 3 buses n 30 minutes all say xcerat and we have NO idea which is ours.
