Pack your suitcase for your Xcaret adventure!
Essential clothing tips
Excitement is at an all-time high when planning a getaway to paradisiacal destinations.
However, before thinking about the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean or exploring ancient pre-Hispanic cities, several questions are surely on your mind: What should I pack in my suitcase? What clothes should I pack? We all experience this dilemma while preparing for the trip to the beach of our dreams.
So today, I'm sharing a guide on what to pack in your suitcase and everything you should remember when you visit us at Xcaret.
First, the most important thing is where you are going to stay. Well, there are three incredible options for you to choose your favorite and the one that best suits your needs:
Hotel Xcaret Mexico stands out for its all-inclusive concept, which focuses on nature and Mexican culture. This is the right choice if you are planning a family trip.
On the other hand, Hotel Xcaret Arte stands out for its emphasis on art, creativity, and gastronomy. It offers workshops by local artists and a great cultural experience. Consider this the ideal destination if you are traveling as a couple or with friends.
Finally, La Casa de la Playa, located in a quiet and paradisiacal setting, offers a more intimate and exclusive atmosphere. It offers personalized services and direct access to the beach, ideal for those looking for a relaxing and private getaway.
If you are looking for a more luxurious experience with your partner, this is your option.
When packing for any of the hotels, some restaurants within each one have a formal or semi-formal dress code, such as the Ha' restaurant, where formal casual dress is required.
Each hotel offers a unique experience, tailored to different tastes and preferences, from cultural to seaside serenity. Thus, guests have diversified options to enjoy their stay in the Riviera Maya.
Let's say we are staying for seven days, and you are taking a carry-on; this is what I would put in my suitcase:
You should know that they all have one thing in common: unlimited access to all our parks and tours. Therefore, you should also be prepared for the occasion in each one.
Don't worry! I'll give you the best recommendation, so you know exactly what to bring for your favorites.
Let's start with categories; if you are someone who enjoys nature and culture, then you will surely want to visit:
