As editors at Feast Magazine, we rarely find ourselves truly surprised anymore — especially when it comes to luxury destinations. But every now and then, a place sweeps us off our feet, not just with lavish service or impeccable taste, but with heart. Hotel Xcaret México is exactly that kind of place.
A Resort That Breathes Mexico
Nestled between the jungle and the Caribbean Sea, Hotel Xcaret is more than a resort — it’s a deep, immersive love letter to Mexican culture. From the architecture inspired by ancient Mayan traditions to the curated artwork scattered throughout its gardens and halls, every corner tells a story. You don’t just stay here. You feel here.
The All-Fun Inclusive® Concept — Yes, Really All
Many resorts boast about being all-inclusive, but Hotel Xcaret redefines the concept. Their signature All-Fun Inclusive® experience doesn’t just cover food and drinks — it grants you unlimited access to all Grupo Xcaret’s adventure parks: think underground rivers, zip-lines through the jungle, cenote explorations, cultural performances, and more.
For us, it was the kind of experience where days blend into joyful exhaustion and nights are capped with mezcal under a thousand stars.
A Food Lover’s Dream
Of course, we can’t talk about Hotel Xcaret without mentioning the food. Their culinary program is guided by Chef Carlos Gaytán, the first Mexican chef to receive a Michelin star. His restaurant, Ha’, is a must. Every dish is a tribute to traditional Mexican cuisine elevated to modern, unforgettable artistry.
But even the breakfast buffet (which we usually skip at resorts) had us going back for seconds. From handmade tortillas to tropical fruits we’d never seen before — it’s a celebration of flavour and freshness at every turn.
Eco-Luxury That’s Genuinely Responsible
Hotel Xcaret walks the talk when it comes to sustainability. Built with minimal environmental impact and actively supporting local communities, they’ve created a model of what eco-luxury should look like. As guests, we felt part of something larger — something regenerative, not extractive.
Who Should Go?
Couples looking for romance, families looking for magic, solo travelers needing reconnection, and yes — food lovers like us. If you’re someone who wants to experience Mexico with depth, not just beaches and buffets, this is your place.
Final
Travel, when done right, becomes a story you carry forever. For us, Hotel Xcaret wasn’t just a destination — it was a reminder of why we fell in love with travel in the first place: discovery, flavour, humanity, and joy.If you’re ready to write a new chapter, start here.
