OCCIDENTAL XCARET RESORT DETAILED TOUR & REVIEW

[@candaceryan9785]

Awesome review!!! Thanks so much. We are going end of January, party of 9. 2 royal suites. This was by far the most thorough and well done video I’ve seen about this resort. Very informative! Can’t wait to experience this for myself and my family!!!

[@toddelfers]

Awesome!! Glad you enjoyed the video! Lot of hard work definitely went into this video!

[@StevieSAM-rt1nf]

Awesome video thanks Todd, will be going this summer. The information was great! 👌

[@toddelfers]

Glad it was helpful!

I’m going there this Sat! We moved our res from playa car to this resort due to weather. Figure we can spend a few days here exploring instead of being at iberostar. Lot more to do. Any tips for kinda crappy weather? That tropical storm is just rolling thru. Thanks for the input and great vid! 💯

[@toddelfers]

I think you'll be amazed the rain will not last long and you'll be by the lagoon or sea water pool most of the day due to heat

I’ve been here it’s okay the food is bad made me sick the restaurant are lacking in portion sizes I’d recommend sticking to the buffets. But the jungle setting is perfect there’s no real beach just a man made one the shorelines pretty rocky but being in the jungle is nice.

Thank you for sharing this amazing travel video!

[@toddelfers]

You betcha! Glad to help!

[@michelleko6156]

Oh my gosh! This is such a great and helpful information you sharing with us! I really appreciate a lot! Now we are thinking going there. Could you please share with us the experience of royal suits? That will be awesome!!! Thank you so much 🎉😊

[@toddelfers]

So glad!

[@yourfirstgrandad1816]

yo i went there when i was 10 it was lit🔥

[@Oneika]

Thanks so much for this! I’m going in July with a party of 8. This was very detailed and I’m looking forward to my stay. Did they have people that helped with taxis?

[@toddelfers]

You betcha! Yes they do, ask the bellhop at the main entry to call a taxi for you BUT ask for the price of the taxi before he calls the taxi

[@ryanstatewicz4568]

Great review! I stayed here 5 years ago. I'm really glad I watched your video because we didn't book Expedia vip so we didn't think we had access to that extra pool where your room is located. Is that pool exclusive to vip guests or can anyone use that pool? I also didn't realize anyone can snorkel off to the side of that natural pool. I'll definitely be checking that out on our next visit. Amazing place!

[@toddelfers]

Glad you enjoyed the video! I'd definitely book VIP again when I go back

[@karlofanchiki1810]

Nice. Thank you

[@lindamikkelsen8709]

Great video and so detailed! Will be going in December. When booking under Expedia VIP, I see a choice of Deluxe Room with Concierge, or just Deluxe Room. Would they still help book restaurants if you chose the room without concierge?

[@toddelfers]

We had just the standard room off Expedia

[@KelleyWeng-x4q]

Hi! How was the a la cart restaurants situation? Do we really need to wake up at 6 to book restaurants for that night? And is it true that you can only try one restaurant once？

[@toddelfers]

I think I mentioned all that info in the video 👍

[@stephaniea3688]

I also read that as well. Hope it isn't as bad as the reviews said

[@stephaniea3688]

Also does it matter what level of member u have on expedia? Like silver gold or platinum

[@clauton2736]

Great great video!! I have a question for you have you being to Xcaret Arte, the hotel? I really really enjoyed your videos here and in FB!!

[@toddelfers]

I haven't been to arte! I'll need to check it our! Thank you so much!

[@catherinepham782]

Do you get discount on excursion? Is it better to book excursions at the resort? Or book ahead directly at xcaret park website?

[@toddelfers]

I just booked on Expedia right at the resort

[@galia9825]

This has by far been the best video for this resort thank you!!! 2 questions the does the Asian restaurant need a reservation and is it included in the reservation? (no additional charge) and how do I get a vip Expedia reservation I couldn’t find it? Thx again.

[@toddelfers]

Yes, you need to make reservations for all restaurants. It will say on the main booking page VIP on Expedia... you kinda need to search for it but it's there. You can even set the filter for VIP

[@robertt.4368]

I have been here four different times. Avoid the bus that transports you from the airport and rent a car instead. Cars are very affordable and you have the luxury to travel outside the resort. We don’t spend much time in the room so we don’t get the royal level rooms.

[@jonathan12403]

What are the benefits of booking through Expedia compared to booking through the hotel with the deluxe concierge?

[@toddelfers]

Wish I could answer that question. I only have my experience thru Expedia VIP but I'm guessing maybe the same? Might need to call barcelo on that one

[@zairaangel4304]

You said something about 120 a day you have have to pay an extra 120 a day to be at this resort?

[@toddelfers]

No, that's the xcaret park next door.

[@zairaangel4304]

So that’s only if you use the theme park for the day you have to pay 120 for the day?

[@toddelfers]

Correct

If you don't have monkeys, you have not lived.

[@alexandreamcclure6037]

Meixcan restaurant and italian restaurant was gross. Everything else was great

[@toddelfers]

100% agree
