![]() As a travel advisor who prioritizes traveling responsibly and who is both certified and specialized in active and adventure travel, I tend to shy away from the All-Inclusive resort market in the Caribbean since these resorts can be some of the most exploitative and unsustainable forms of tourism. I wrote a more specific blog post on the evils and harmful nature of all-inclusive tourism HERE, but today I want to highlight an exception. ![]() Xcaret was created to blaze a trail for sustainable tourism in the Riviera Maya region of Mexico. The origin tale is that the renown Mexican architect, Miguel Quintana Pali, found himself enamored with the natural beauty and biodiversity of the Riviera Maya region and purchased 12 acres to build a country home for himself and his family in the 1980’s. Upon surveying the property, Pali discovered beautiful architectural features, cenotes and underground rivers, within the landscape, and he felt compelled to share these hidden gems with the public. In the 1990’s, the eco park, Xcaret, opened its doors. Groupo Xcaret boasts at being 100% Mexican owned and operated. Mexican culture, history, ecology, food, arts, and entertainment are highlighted throughout. All resources are locally sourced, and one of the only Michelin rated Mexican chefs who lives and works in Mexico is employed at Xcaret. ![]() Today, Xcaret comprises of three gorgeous, 5 star resorts located in this Riviera Maya region outside of Playa Del Carmen - Hotel Xcaret Mexico, the family friendly resort that opened in December of 2017; Hotel Xcaret Arte, the resort for guests 16+ that opened in July 2021; La Casa de la Playa, the adult-only boutique-style resort that opened in December 2021. Xcaret refers to itself as an “all-fun” inclusive (more than an all-inclusive) that includes airport transfers, a variety of top notch dining at each resort, drinks, and entrance into more than 10 experiences including Xcaret’s several eco-theme parks, activities, tours, and dinner shows. This can be a vacation to relax, eat and drink well, and enjoy a variety of entertainment and adrenaline inducing activities. I do not get any form of compensation for this. If you have any further questions or would like to book a stay at this amazing resort, please don't hesitate to contact me. I will guide you through all of the nuances of booking a perfect Xcaret vacation. Some of the All-Full Inclusions: ![]() XCARET Welcome to the best of our country at Mexico’s Majestic Paradise with more than 50 natural and cultural attractions for the whole family. XENSES.
