Hotel Xcaret, Riviera Maya, Mexico
Opened just over five years ago, Hotel Xcaret always finds favor with families. The service and gastronomy are more than appreciated there as well as the emphasis placed everywhere on sustainable tourism.
The hotel is surrounded by a magnificent green setting. During the day, adults wishing to find a little rest there will be able to benefit from the calm of the place, most of the families having left to take advantage of the advantages of such a stay.
In fact, the all-inclusive package includes several excursions, transport to get to Isla Mujeres and access to the eight parks of the Xcaret Experiencias group. Exit the traditional rides, here we bet on the zip line courses, day or night, expeditions in caves and river courses, the incursion into Mexican culture or the universe of cenotes. Activities for all tastes.
