Mich's Rating
9/10 — One of a kind
Properties
Hotel Xcaret México
Natural underground rivers, infinity pools, a sheltered cove beach. Architecture woven into the jungle.

Hotel Xcaret Arte
Art workshops, cooking classes, designer pools. A focus on art and contemporary Mexican gastronomy.
Mich's Tip: The pick for couples and honeymoons. The art workshops (ceramics, painting, mixology) are included, and the restaurants are outstanding.

Seasons & Weather
Best months
November through April (dry, no sargassum, perfect temps of 25-30°C / high 70s-80s°F)
Avoid
September (peak of hurricane and sargassum season). July-August is Mexico's high season (higher prices, bigger crowds)
Sargassum
June through September, sargassum seaweed can hit open beaches. The hotel's cove is sheltered and usually clean, and Xcaret keeps a cleanup crew working constantly.
Weather
Humid tropical. Rain is possible year-round but usually brief. Hurricane season runs June through November.

Mich's Choice — Best Value
Hotel Xcaret Mexico for families (the family suites are incredible and the 8 included parks are unbeatable value). Hotel Xcaret Arte for couples and honeymoons (the art workshops and restaurants are on another level). Book at least 5 nights to make the most of the parks.
