Honest Xplor Review: Pros & Cons to Consider in 2024

[@tomcarmody5471]

I'm a 63 year old man in so so shape. I highly encourage you to visit this park. It is a lot of fun. I agree with this video. It is not for small children. There is nothing for them to do. It is best for teens and up. The vehicles are a lot of fun but beware that is is a very bumpy ride and the cars have bad steering, brakes and suspension. It is a long ride, about 3 miles. Let your wife take her own car or much backseat driving will occur! She is downplaying the water slide. That is the funnest ride I have been on in a long time. We went on it twice and I could have ridden that thing all day. The zip lines are also very fun. Be aware that there is a lot of walking in general and a lot of climbing( ramps and stairs) if you go on the zip lines and water slide. We just got back ( NOV , '24) and the park was not busy at all. We have been there before when it was quite busy and there were lines for most activities. We paid $162 per person including transportation. I think the price was $182 if you have 2 people but was discounted for a group of 4.The buffet is pretty good. Also, FYI, the wave pool is not a wave pool. Most of the day it was turned off and when it was turned on, The "waves" were maybe 1' swells that don't break. We have been to other parks in the past and in our opinion, this is the best one. Also , I recommend bringing your own water shoes and a towel. They are a must have. There are locker and showers but don't bring too much stuff as the lockers aren't super big. Just go!

Thank you! Since you went in november, how was the ocean? Was there a lot of seaweed or was it clear water? I went in April and it was hard to swim because there was so much seaweed and the ocean was not nice at all. Is it still like that in November?

@@chrissyb6822 There was very little seaweed. It wasn't a problem at all. We have been to Mexico when it was bad so I know what you experienced.The ocean was very warm, probably 85 degrees but it was a little murky. It was pretty windy when we were there so the fine sand was churned up a little. It was still nice. One disappointment was the snorkeling. There were very few fish in front of our resort and as I said the visibility wasn't very good. We stayed at the Barcelo Maya Riviera which I would recommend. It is a very nice, well kept, newish property and the food was excellent. Of the Barcelo resorts that are all in a row, The Riviera is definitely the best. It is also adults only, which we prefer but even if it wasn't adults only, it is still the nicest Barcelo resort in that area.

Thanks for watching!

Do you think a person would still enjoy themselves if they can’t do the zip lines? Are the other things filling?

[@vivalatravelista]

Yeah I think the ATVs and the stalactite river swim would still be filling but the zip lines are definitely the highlight

[@jimharris6545]

Did you mention that water shoes are mandatory? And if you don't bring your own, you have to buy them there.

[@vivalatravelista]

Closed toed shoes are required on the underground activities. Definitely would recommend purchasing them elsewhere!

What’s the weigh limit for zip line?

[@vivalatravelista]

Minimum weight required is 88 lbs and maximum is 300 lbs
