We are going in June, looking forward to the park next door. Where would you recommend booking the through?
@experiencethis3603 күн бұрын
It really depends on where you live. Online booking sites are usually the least expensive and for the most part expedia and your airline of choice usually have the best deals when you combine both. Remember June is the rain season there, so there might be showers most days in the afternoons.

Have you been to Occidental Xcaret?? Is the Sandos Caracol better or worse? I really just wish Occ. had the same kind of kids club & waterslides. I'm afraid we'd be bored there on non-Xpark days, doesn't seem like much going on. What do you think?
@experiencethis36028 күн бұрын
Yes I have. I will link the video for you. I would say the Sandos Caracol has more things to do and the jungle environment is more plentiful, but that is about all that it has going for it. For us the food and cleanliness, was a major let down. There are repeatedly trying to clear up Hand and Foot and Mouth Disease in the pools, and so many guests complain about the food. I could not recommend it as a resort. There are other resorts with waterparks if you are interested in. Xcaret Destination (Occidental) is a pretty decent resort.

@ It is pricey that is for sure. BUT it depends if you do a lot of tours to the xcaret parks, it can be worth it. The tours have gone up considerably and with the Xcaret Hotel, you get free admission and transport to all the parks. Mexico is in a bit of a weird place right now. Many things have gone up, including a whole bunch of new taxes and fees and tourism is down about 20% as a result.

I would never do it again. We turned down the timeshare presentation from "Guest services" they got very aggressive, they got irrationally mad when we told them our employer has a timeshare and we are employee-owned so technically we have a timeshare. They wanted to argue that we were lying and did not own a company. made us super uncomfortable. Also everything we brought back from there needs to be washed multiple times. We'll be using a ozone machine on our luggage to hopefully remove the mold and mildew smell from the room. There is visible black mold in the rooms and in both buffets all over the walls near the air conditioners. Many of us were sick by day 2 or 3 The "beach" is not relaxing unless you enjoy being asked at least 30 times a day to get a massage, purchase cigars jewelry whatever crap they were selling. And they don't simply take no for an answer and walk away.

Do not do it. I'm not sure how this place Is well reviewed. It all started negatively at check in. It was 3pm and one person was working the front desk. It took us nearly 2 hours to check in. I walked over and asked the employees at guest services if they could help and they said they were unable to. Then, they had us sign a form that said my partner would agree not to posting any negative things about Sandos online. Then after we got to our rooms, one seemed just fine, the other was definitely not. The floors were wet, the fan made a terrible noise any time it ran and there was not a single towel any where in the room. Additionally it took us nearly 12 hours to get the crib that we'd requested for weeks ahead of time. But with a broken phone and an app that didn't seem to work, it was a bigger ordeal than it should've been. The general buffets were not good. After that first day we decided to try for the ones you needed a reservation for. Concierge told us it goes live on the app at midnight. So here we all are sitting there, waiting for midnight and constantly refreshing, only for nothing to happen. Nothing went live and nothing was available. After complaining with them the following day they gave us a comp reservation. Then we tried for the hibachi/exclusives that don't show up in the app. They said they start at lets say 8am, we stood in line early and sure enough they started even an hour beforehand. All of this is to say there is a lack of communication around the property. On day 3 of our stay we learned that if you stayed I believe it was 5 nights (Maybe 6) you got 3 complimentary dinner reservations that they'd schedule for you. We never heard this during our many visits with concierge and only managed to over hear it while they told another guest. After spending all this time and money we felt like this place was one big scam. The eco-ness was just a run down property. The beach was rocky. We left feeling so disappointed. The only shining spot was the employees in the dining areas. They were always kind and friendly with our son. But every one else at the front end, from customer service, to check in/out and concierge was frustrating, condescending and unhelpful. This may be long winded but, if this stops even one person from visiting this property I'll feel so much better.

ZERO STARS! Worst experience ever. From the beginning: check-in process takes forever! Then, before finishing and stepping into your room, they start offering services and stuff for an extra cost. Rooms are okay, with damaged furniture, a refrigerator that doesn't cool your beverages enough so they end up hot, a poorly cleaned and moldy shower. The A/C broke down, and "we will fix it tomorrow," so we had to sleep in the same room (party of 5, including 2 children). The pools were dirty, including the "aqua park," which was filthy and gross. Really nasty. The staff were rude, and when you approached them to express your concerns, they didn't care at all; they were just focused on taking your money. The spa massage was good, but the front desk was terrible; they didn't mention that you needed to arrive 10 minutes before your service to force you to speed up your service. The hotel won't allow you to order food from outside; if you do, you'll have to walk to the main entrance to pick it up, and it's far. MOSQUITOES ARE HORRIBLE HERE! Additionally, restaurant reservations and information are through their app, which is a pain because the cellular signal is almost non-existent. The night shows are like a cheap town carnival. Zero stars.

We waited very long for this trip and were sadly very disappointed. I have been to Mexico 5 times and this was by far the worst resort I have stayed at. The description of the resort is not accurate (on the website/ travel sites). It boasts the resort from maybe 10 years ago- it is NOT like that now. The food is the worst I have had at any resort. Very difficult to make reservations (you have to book through an app and they fill up fast). Even the restaurants where they take resos- very poor and bland tasting food and small servings. The only restaurant we enjoyed was the one by the adult pool where they serve fish tacos. Most (not all) bartenders were less than friendly. One in particular at the sports bar would even snicker at us and gave some very poor service. We were with a group of friends who had various nights/ events they were hoping to plan at the Disco- which they do NOT have. They advertise that they have one but it closed during covid and never opened back up. If you plan to do any dancing or socialize with friends after about 10 pm you can’t do it at this resort. There is NO swimmable or walkable beach. Apparently it got ruined during weather or storms years back- either way it is filled with rocks and you cannot enjoy it. HUGE bummer. We still enjoyed our time as we were with our group of friends- so obviously had no choice but to go to this resort. We would not return. Do not waste your money and come here. Only positive point was the greenery/ t jungle you could walk through. And the gym was ok. Just an honest review.

You will notice a two week period of five star reviews from new google account users, some of which have the same name. You got to love it when management makes fake reviews instead of addressing the problems of this resort. This is the problem of looking at reviews on booking sites and google. A lot of them are fake or purchased.
