Honestly you have the best videos to watch when someone is planning a trip here. Appreciate your time and effort to share these!

[@Khujeaux]

🥹🥹. Wow! Thank you, that means a lot!

[@az_zih_may]

Excellent video super detailed & informative 👌👌👌 all the foooood so delectable ooh myy lawwd 💯💯💯

[@Khujeaux]

Thank you!! Honestly, this is some of (if not THE) the best food I've had on a resort

[@obfrazier]

This series you have regarding this resort is filled with so much useful information! Thank you so much

[@candesgray8555]

When we went in 21, Las Cuevas was by reservation. Heading back in October so it's good to know to get there early!

[@Khujeaux]

They may go back to the Reservation model, double check when you check in. The first come first serve was cool, though. Eat a second plate for me when you go!

[@bp5439]

Thanks for the video.Thanks for details.

[@Khujeaux]

Thanks for the support!

[@petercoronel7313]

A very WELL DONE video, the right type of information I was looking for. Blessings to you and your beautiful family.

[@Khujeaux]

Very much appreciated! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kittymax2616]

Fantastic video we have booked 10 night in July I can’t wait I don’t understand why we haven’t done it before

[@Khujeaux]

Thank you!! I said the same thing when we found Xcaret and have been asking why we haven’t gone back!!

[@jeffreykramer1714]

great job - thanks for putting all that together, very well done.

[@Khujeaux]

Very much appreciated!!

[@dat311]

This was the best review for this hotel - thank you!

[@Khujeaux]

Thank you, so much!

[@kardorojas]

Off top best video I seen! Thank you

[@Khujeaux]

That means a whole lot! Much appreciated!

[@goofsaddggkle7351]

Lots of great info here thank you! You have an amazing narrating voice and style! I'm kind of on the fence as its the most expensive place I've ever thought about staying, but maybe only time I can do it as well.

[@Khujeaux]

Oh, wow.... I really appreciate the compliment!! It's definitely not cheap, but the experience is definitely worth it (especially if you take advantage of all the parks). Try 2-3 nights to test it out

[@yvonneboyd3690]

Just stumbled across your video. Thanks for reviewing the cave dinner. It’s now on my must do list for our Sept. vacation.

[@Khujeaux]

I'll be mad at you if you DON'T do it. Thanks for watching!!

[@krissynewberry1669]

Thank you for this very informative video. We just booked our vacation today, and I started doing my research. This was one of the best personable videos that i have watched on Xcaret. Keep the videos coming and help me for my next vacation. You're the best!

[@Khujeaux]

Wow, this is one of my fav comments of all time!! Thank you!! I’m really glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful

[@jeancampbell1036]

Great review son-in-law ! Had me reminiscing. Such a fantastic trip. Everything you said and more. It was an adventure. Your sidekick, baby girl, did an amazing job. ❤️

[@Khujeaux]

Thank you!! It definitely was an experience

[@harriettpavonrosado5175]

Awesome place to visit. I loved it. The cave experience was awesome.

[@Khujeaux]

It really was!

[@Calibreeze7602]

Great video!! Continue the great work!!

[@Khujeaux]

🥹. Thanks! I’ll try!

[@jennifernuechterlein3340]

Incredible video - thank you!

[@Khujeaux]

Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@Maggie-pi1qz]

Very nice! Thanks for sharing ❤

[@Khujeaux]

Honestly, thank YOU for watching!!

[@tanyap.871]

Great content, it was very informative. Going soon.

[@Khujeaux]

Thanks! Glad I could help! Enjoy

[@ceciliagonzalez5661]

the reason Las Cuevas is like that now is because now it doesn´t require reservation and guests staying at Xcaret Arte and casa de la playa have access to Xcaret Mexico and they make it very crowded in popular restaurants on this side. very nice video by the way.

[@Khujeaux]

That makes sense and thank you!

[@HugoCampos-rs4gi]

Great video mate ;)

[@Khujeaux]

Thank u!!

[@kenwilson2314]

Me and my wife went here and it was a great time we plan on going with our 3 kids next year I would highly recommend this place.

[@Khujeaux]

Same! I definitely want to try and go back w/o the lil lady

[@LexiiTheNinja]

Great video!

[@Khujeaux]

Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it

[@MoeReesee]

Very detailed video... you should stay at La Casa de le Playa Xcaret and do a video!

[@Khujeaux]

I want to!! That’s definitely on the list (+video. 😁)

[@rockytheexpert3008]

Wonderful informative video brother I went to Xcaret July 2021 and everything you mentioned in the video was spot on !! Will be returning June 2023 with a big group of 40 lol counting down the days for my return

[@Khujeaux]

Thank u! Glad I wasn’t lying. 😂. I’m trying to plan my return, now!

[@backit3758]

Thanks!

[@Khujeaux]

Welcome!

[@jeetley]

hi ,great vid.we will be there in a month and i'm wondering how strict is the dress code for the steakhouse / are chino style shorts acceptable ? thanks in advance Brian ; )

[@Khujeaux]

Great question! Shorts are definitely accepted. Honestly, I didn't see them enforcing any dress code.

[@brittanym6657]

So we are staying on the Arte side in June, but wanted to see a review of the Mexico side. You did an amazing job with your review ! I’m a speech language pathologist and in awe of your daughter… What a beautiful, intelligent little girl! I can tell she’s going to do big things some day! Back to review… I definitely want to try the steakhouse on the Mexico side… Do you know if they had the same type of steakhouse on the Arte side?

[@Khujeaux]

Thank you!! I really appreciate the kind words, especially about my baby (she said "Thank you")!! We didn't get to experience Arte (plan to, though), but their restaurants are more cultural/regional, chef-highlight, type restaurants. To my knowledge, there isn't a steakhouse.

[@kathleencraig3804]

Awesome video. How long did you stay? how was room? trying to figure out how expensive it is for 4 days , want to go to xcarta park for 2 days then see ruins too but have to make sure I can afford this trip. Thanks for the awesome video. The food looks amazing

[@Khujeaux]

We stayed for 7 days and it still wasn't enough time to do everything! 4 would definitely be cheaper and for everything you get at this resort (admission to all parks, etc.), their pp/night is awesome!. If you want to a couple of the rooms Ocean View suite - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aafCiGyLgdqWe7s River View suite - kzbin.info/www/bejne/onbHgGptfdN5h9E

[@TerryTraumatize91]

Awesome video, super informative! We’re going in oct but we were worried about the reservations to the parks and stuff. So you can make it a day before now? You don’t have to email them anymore? Thanks!

[@Khujeaux]

If you are staying at Hotel Caret, only a few of the parks require reservations. For those, you can reserve onsite (at the hotel) as long as it is prior to 7PM the day before. Have fun, i know you will!

[@TerryTraumatize91]

@@Khujeaux thank you so much for your response! We will be at xcaret Mexico with like 8 of us and my toddler. Thank you so so much. I hope y’all get to check out Arte too!

[@ulisesantonio8764]

Thank you for the video brother… we’re going on the first week of June…

[@Khujeaux]

Had some account issues, so my response is super late, but THANK YOU and hope y’all had fun!!

[@mattpietrzyk8421]

Did ya check out Arte or Casa de la playa while you were down there? Dope video.

[@Khujeaux]

Much appreciated! Didn’t get to while we were down there, but definitely going back. Especially for La Casa

[@SeredaOfficial]

damn good video

[@Khujeaux]

Thank you!!

[@luciar.7082]

Very informative video! We are debating staying here in December. Question about the drinks and poolside food service. Do they have premium alcohol or the watered down cheap one some all inclusive as serve? Do they have a pool-side wait staff to bring drinks/food?

[@Khujeaux]

Much appreciated!! Yea, they definitely have premium/top shelf liquor. Of course request if you have a preference in mixed drinks, but I was happy w/ the drink service/quality. I don’t think there is poolside food, we never ordered/got offered and i never saw anyone else w/ food. There ARE poolside restaurants (like Trajinera and Chibali)

[@genebelledulay3593]

No Pool side wait staff but there are plenty of seats around the pool. There’s also stands serving fresh fruits , juices, crepes, at certain times of the day next to the pool. You can request for premium brands of alcohol.

[@sassylinda4617]

great video. was there a dress code in any of the restaurants? Thanks in advance

[@Khujeaux]

Thank you! I didn't see any *strictly enforced*, but yes. Las Cuevas had a dress code, for example. I believe Xin-Gao, Ha, and the other restaurants that requires reservations did as well.

[@bdub8522]

Are customers forms still required when entering Mexico? (As of May 2024)?

[@Khujeaux]

Here is a great interactive map tool that Delta has for keeping up with required docs www.delta.com/us/en/travel-planning-center/find-your-destination/explore-top-destinations

[@desireeworthy677]

I will be going there this August

[@Khujeaux]

Any more info you need, happy to help! Enjoy

[@desireeworthy677]

Do you recommend that I make reservations to eat at the cave upon arrival?

[@Khujeaux]

@@desireeworthy677 Their reservation policy fluctuates. When we were there, they weren’t doing reservations. I would just say get there before 7:30

[@Juan-eu9oi]

Hi. Where do you go to fill out custom forms online?

[@Khujeaux]

Usually onboard the aircraft the flight crew will hand them out

[@leonardomedina2706]

Do you book and reserve the activities you want to do and restaurants when you get to the lobby? Or is that supposed to be done before ?

[@Khujeaux]

You can do reservations at check-in if you wanna plan out your stay. I recommend it for this stuff you REALLY wanna do. You also have the option to do on the fly, as long as reservation is made or cancelled by 7PM the night before

[@daniellemichelle8320]

Going to Cancun Dec 2023 and I’m researching different hotels and I wanna stay here but nervous about the food! not for me I’ll try anything but my daughter is pretty picky. Was it hard to find menu items for your little one?

[@Khujeaux]

We didn't have any issues, but we did pack some of her favorite snacks as backup because, my daughter is also.... particular about what and when she chooses to eat. Being all-inclusive is much easier on the pockets, but also there are a variety of options she had to choose from. She enjoyed it

[@daniellemichelle8320]

@@Khujeaux thanks, good to hear !

[@wtp4110]

Is las guevas included if i stay at Arte?

[@Khujeaux]

Casa Artistas only. So, the rooms that say "Adult" on the booking.

[@davelewis6191]

How does Hotel Xcaret food compare to Finest Playa Mujeres?

[@Khujeaux]

Had some account issues, so my response is super late, but it’s not even fair to compare, honestly. Not to over hype it, but Xcaret had some of the best food of any resort (inclusive or Euro)

[@azumieikichi]

I just came back from there. One thing I can say “too many tequilas”

[@Khujeaux]

😂😂. There’s a limit?
