Filled with unsuspected treats from a tequila tasting arrival to its try-every-flavour chocolateria, this serene enclave is the trusty enabler for grown-up indulgence. Bringing temptations to every turn with its calming beachside position and sophisticated design, the hardest decision ever made is which postcard scene you’d rather settle into.

Time is spent getting closer to the ones you came here with, drinking in the rays while taking a dip in the mesmerising waterway peering out to sea or in the overhead sky-pools that (literally) bridge the architectural gaps. While fiesta-like fun is never too far away with open access to a plethora of Xcaret’s parks, set across landscapes that span the Mayan jungle to a maze of caves and underwater rivers.
