Hotel Xcaret isn’t your typical all-inclusive resort in Riviera Maya, Mexico. It is truly a destination of its own. This resort was added to my bucket list as soon as it opened and I was so excited to visit in 2018. The architecture here is truly stunning and it is my go to for those that are looking for adventure and an experience that is unique.

I think what I loved the most about this resort is that while it’s an all-inclusive, it is not like one I’ve ever been to before. Clients who aren’t up for doing the eco park adventures daily (yes, all included), still have enough to do right on property. Between kayaking and paddle boarding on the “river” to exploring all of the hidden caves and walkways, there’s so much to do. You can do as much or as little as you want here! They’ve also added an adult only section so we are able to offer it for our couples as well. It’s one you must see for yourself. Pictures do not do it justice!!
