With over 50 natural and cultural attractions, the park is the easiest to navigate with a baby because most things are displays and shows. That said, this park does a lot to educate visitors about Mayan culture and I do hope that the animals on display are well looked after. ![]() We know we missed quite a bit here and would love to return but it wasn’t one of my favourites. However, we decided to only go in for half a day and still managed to see a few animals, walk through the Mayan village (albeit, once the artisans had packed up), have lunch and a Cerveza at the buffet (included with our hotel stay), and see a performance. This is one massive park and to do it justice you really do need two full days to get a good feel. You flash your bracelet at various stations and they will take your pictures for you! ![]() I regret not buying the package, so it’s something to think about as you plan your trip. We took a bottle of reef safe sunscreen with us on this trip.Įach of the parks offered a photo package and they have fun photo stations throughout the parks. Please remember that these parks are part of nature and so take care of what chemicals you release into the waters through your sunscreens, perfumes and creams. We feel safest with our kids in life jackets so we took our own once we realized that. Also take a wet bag for the swimsuits if you plan to change into dry clothes for the return!Įvery park and the resort has life vests for kids and adults of all ages and sizes however only Xplor offered life jackets (with the headrest). Xavage is not open yet.Īs always we filled our reusable water bottles at the hotel and spotted safe drinking options throughout all the parks so we stayed hydrated throughout our visits. I should also note that while we visited 4 parks, Xavage was not open during our visit and we did not do the Xenotes and Xoximilco Tours but received some tips from other families who have visited the latter two. Please note that some of the items highlighted were part of the hotel’s package and may not be on offer to those individuals looking to visit the parks on their own (and aren’t hotel guests). That said, the unique one, Xenses, is on my list as one every family should visit! For each park I will share some tips for visiting with young kids and our experience as guests staying at Hotel Xcaret Mexico. Many friends have since asked us which park was our favourite, but in all honestly it is hard to choose because each of them offered something different as you will soon see. It was like having unlimited access to a Mexican Disneyland, one filled with adventure and our transportation to and from was also organized! Keep in mind that our kids were 5 and 7 years old during our December 2018 visit and so that is something we had to keep in mind when we chose the activities we were going to do during our stay in the Mayan Riviera with kids. To me, this is the most attractive feature of the hotel (well, the food at Hotel Xcaret Mexico was pretty amazing too). There is a lot of walking.During our recent stay at Hotel Xcaret Mexico with kids, we were able to make full use of the unlimited Xcaret Experiencias Park access that came with our stay. ![]() There is so much to see and do, but be sure to wear comfy shoes. There are great restaurants for dining and bars to refresh. Catch a show while you are there, especially the main show in the outdoor amphitheater. Swim with the dolphins is a must! Take a ride up to the top of the revolving tower and see the Riviera Maya from the high above the jungle. In different sections of the park you will see jaguars, manatees, flamingos, spider monkeys, bats, deer, and tapirs. ![]() Inside the park you can visit the Coral Reef Aquarium and the Sea Turtle Center, or visit the Butterfly Garden, the Aviary, the Rainforest Trail, and the Living Orchid and Bromeliad Museum. For the little ones, there is Children’s World, where they can swim in shallow cenotes and wading pools designed just for them. You can float underground rivers, sun on a white-sand beach, swim the lagoon, or relax in a natural seawater pool. Its name means “small inlet.” Connecting to the sea, the Mayans used Xcaret as a merchandise port. Xcaretopened in 1990 and since has become a landmark in the Riviera Maya, even considered my many as THE destination of this region.
