Xcaret is a must see. My daughter loved the sea turtles and the lazy river. This is our second time there and the show was as amazing as the first time. More

We loved this...it was so much fun, very organized, and professional. It was a once in a life time experience, and well worth the cost. We paid $159 for an hour with the dolphins. I've read alot of complaints about the cost of pictures...we were offered 1 for $29, a CD with all pictures for $69, or all pictures plus... More

A very worthwhile day. Just check the website or your hotel pamphlet for a list of all the attractions; we enjoyed almost everything. The evening show is spectacular, although the Mexican song and dance with costumed routines got a bit repetitive towards the end. The food at the various restaurants was good, and the lazy rivers a pleasant cool respite... More

At first I was a little skeptical about paying the money to go to XCaret but trust me when I tell you, it was worth every cent!! When we arrived we went straight to the underground river. It was so beautiful. I have to admit that I was a little scared at 1st because we were swimming through caves and... More

Girlfriend and I did an 8 person group with swimming with dolphins. They jumped over us, let us pet them, carried us about 30 feet which was really fun, and a dolphin kiss. Plenty of fun in the water for 30-45 minutes, felt like I got good value out of it honestly and the trainers really seemed interested in their... More

It was just a very big surprise, It exceeded my expectations. There are many places to go, to rest and to eat, although it´s very... More

The short version: A fantastic and beautiful way to spend a day in Mexico; but it'll cost ya a bit. My wife and I arrived not long after the park opened and did not have to wait in any lines. I knew from friends and family who'd been before, that a special type of sunblock was required. This being the... More
