What is the Xcaret Hotels experience like beyond All Fun Inclusive?

How to make the best experience of your stay at Xcaret Hotels

All Fun Inclusive and more

It's always possible to make your hotel stay more memorable, and today, I'm here to tell you in more detail how you can turn your holiday at Xcaret Hotels into the best trip of your life.

What is All-Fun Inclusive?

To begin with, I want to explain that Hotel Xcaret Mexico, Hotel Xcaret Arte, and La Casa de la Playa offer a unique concept called All-Fun Inclusive, which provides you with the following: 

• Food and beverages during your stay.       
• Transportation to and from the airport.       
• Access to all Xcaret Parks: Xcaret, Xel-Ha, Xplor, Xplor Fuego, Xenses, Xavage and Xoximilco.       
• Excursions include Xenotes, the Ferry to Isla Mujeres, the Xunset Party and Xunset Lovers Catamaran Experiences, and visits to Coba, Tulum, and Chichen Itza.       

But we know that pampering yourself is never enough. In this article, I'll tell you about experiences that will take your stay to the next level. They are worth enjoying because you deserve it!

Additional activities within the hotels

Let me start by sharing the additional activities you can enjoy within each hotel. I will begin with an experience that is undoubtedly a must during a holiday: immersing yourself in a complete sense of disconnection and absolute relaxation.

Relaxing activities in Hotels and Parks:           

1.- Muluk SPA       

I recommend you visit Muluk SPA, an authentic oasis of well-being. Its facilities are unique in each of the hotels and will take you on a journey of connection with nature while you free yourself from stress. Here, you can enjoy a delicious hydromassage circuit, relaxing massages, facials, sound therapy, aromatherapy, and more.       

How can you book a spa day at Xcaret Hotels? To enjoy this experience, you can consult with your concierge to help you make your reservation or go directly to the Muluk SPA facilities.   

2.- SPA Treatments at Xcaret and Xel-Há       

Allow yourself to pamper, relax and enjoy. If you need a moment of complete disconnection, I recommend you enjoy some treatments offered by the SPAs of Xcaret or Xel-Ha. Get ready to immerse yourself in a natural atmosphere that will give you total peace and harmony.       

3.- Temazcal       

At Xcaret, you can also enjoy the Temazcal and purify your body and spirit in a pre-Hispanic ritual guided by a shaman.       

4.- Fish Therapy       

Continuing with the relaxation activities at Xel-Ha, you can enjoy Fish Therapy, an experience in which Garra Rufa or Doctor Fish oversees the exfoliation therapy on your feet.

Gastronomy    

1.- Sunday Brunch at Las Cuevas - Hotel Xcaret México       

Enjoy a slow morning at the Sunday Brunch at Las Cuevas restaurant at Hotel Xcaret Mexico. With more than 70 specialties of Mexican and international cuisine, this experience is exclusive to guests of Xcaret Hotels at an additional cost, except for guests of La Casa de la Playa, Casa Fuego at Hotel Xcaret Mexico, and Casa Artistas at Hotel Xcaret Arte.      

Remember that reservations must be made in advance.       

2.- Gastronomic Experiences with Chefs       

Enhance your gastronomic experience with Xcaret Hotels, renowned for its outstanding gastronomic collective comprising nationally and internationally renowned chefs. Among them are Chef Miguel Bautista, in charge of the vegan restaurant Bio at Hotel Xcaret Mexico; Jonatan Gomez Luna, heading Chino Poblano at Hotel Xcaret Arte; and the Rivera Rio brothers at Lumbre at La Casa de la Playa.       

But we want to take you to an even more fascinating and exclusive culinary experience. I invite you to book a dinner at one of the following restaurants on your next stay:       

Há at Hotel Xcaret Mexico: Carlos Gaytán, the first Mexican chef to win a Michelin star, presents an exclusive seven-course tasting of Contemporary Mexican Cuisine. He surprises with flavors, textures, and temperatures, narrating a story of love for his roots through cuisine.     

Xaak at Hotel Xcaret Arte: Designed by four multi-award-winning chefs from Colectivo Gastronómico (Roberto Solís, Paco Méndez, Jonatan Gómez Luna, and Alejandro Ruiz), this experience will guide you through a tasting menu paired by our sommelier Sandra Vinos, giving you a unique understanding of flavors in each dish.      

Tuch de Luna at La Casa de la Playa: Chef Martha Ortiz presents a collection of unforgettable dishes in which the flavors of Mexico are conceptualized in culinary narratives, vibrant colors, contrasting aromas, lyricism, and femininity. This elegant, subtle, and artistic bet will captivate your senses.       

Estero at La Casa de la Playa: Under the direction of renowned Chef Virgilio Martinez, presents a disruptive menu fusing the most iconic flavors of Latin America in a friendly fusion between gastronomic and Peruvian cuisine.       

It is important to note that to enjoy these four gastronomic experiences, you do not need to be a guest of Xcaret Hotels, and you can celebrate a special moment in some of them. 

3.- Wine Tasting in Xcaret       

Join an exclusive wine tasting at Xcaret's wine cellar. Walk through its underground corridors and chambers carved in stone, immersing yourself in a journey through 400 years of the best wines of Mexico.
