A sprawling laid-back but luxurious resort in Mexico’s Riviera Maya and Cancun region, Hotel Xcaret is a destination in itself. Across the all-inclusive property, three hotels exist. A Hotel Xcaret review will reveal that while two hotels are adults only, Hotel Xcaret is geared towards families, offering plenty of fun amenities – particularly for older kids – and a children’s club for ages 4 and up. In-room babysitting can also be arranged.

(P.S. Don’t be confused. If you’re seeing the name Hotel Xcaret Cancun pop up online, this is the same property.)

Located on the beach and with a variety of pools, restaurants and parks, this all-inclusive hotel is a splurge, but frequently cited as one that’s worthwhile. If you’re heading to Cancun Mexico with kids, you’ll find plenty to keep the entire family occupied here. In fact, at first glance, it may feel overwhelming in sheer size and scope.
