Pools at Hotel Xcaret México 

The hotel has numerous pools of different shapes and depths in which children can swim. Even if they still don't know how to do it, they can enjoy them using the life jackets that the hotel provides.

All of them provide access from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m.

The beaches 

Visiting the beach during your visit to Riviera Maya is obviously a must. However, in addition to being able to admire the impressive Caribbean Sea, Hotel Xcaret México has a unique beach area in the destination that creates small coves that look like natural pools without waves. 

These create the perfect space for children to play in the sand and swim in shallow areas. In addition, the beach area puts small life jackets at your disposal and is supervised by lifeguards, so you can relax and take care of your children while you rest with your favorite drink in hand. 

The surprises are not over yet! Here you will also find activities such as kayaking and paddle that you can share with your children. Children under 13 years of age can also enjoy them as long as they are accompanied by an adult. 

Considerations to enjoy paddle and kayak: 

Book these activities in advance, since they are among the favorites of visitors, the waiting time can be a bit long. 

Activities are available from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. 

The use of a life jacket is mandatory for all ages. 

Food o’clock! 

Another thing that children love about the hotel is its delicious food. Although it’s true that the little ones are not great foodies, we know that a full belly means a happy heart. That is why we have a wide variety of menus where you will find something for all ages and tastes. 

To begin with, throughout the hotel you will find carts that offer different types of snacks with international options such as ice cream and hamburgers, as well as delicious Mexican options such as esquites, cochinita sandwiches, and even marquesitas. 

In addition, in all restaurants you will find dishes designed for the little ones in the family. In particular, the restaurant near the octopus pool: Chibalí. Its menu is more international, so there will surely be more than one well-known dish that is already their favorite. It has a candy and ice cream bar where they can have whatever they want.

It opens at 7 a.m. with a delicious breakfast buffet for the early birds, and later, an à la carte menu for lunch and dinner, closing until 11 p.m. for the night owls. 

In general, restaurants that offer a buffet will be ideal for children, since they have a wide variety of dishes. Both Trajinera and Mercado de la Merced will have options that you’ll surely love, and in the case of the latter, the dessert bar is also great.
