Hi friends! We are in the Riviera Maya and in this video we are going to
show you everything that can be done and how to make the most of your stay
at the famous Xcaret MĂ©xico hotel. Well, let's have fun. - Let's go!
- Let's go! Friends, well, the truth is that
we are very happy to be here. When we first arrived
in Riviera Maya we never imagined that one day
we would come to this hotel, especially for the price. Since this is a luxury hotel, in fact, it is 5 diamonds category, supposedly the best of the best
that exists in the world. But hey, folks...
Never say never. We are already here. We reserve well in advance, the key is to set aside
the lowest rates and pay little by little. Slowly. We book through our travel
agency Sin Postal Tours, here we leave you how much
we were paying month by month. Well friends, let's see if the famous
Xcaret hotel is really worth what it costs. Look, as soon as we arrived and we already
came to refresh ourselves with a micheladita. - Cheers.
- Cheers. So folks, this is a family hotel, which also has its all-inclusive
section for adults only, but what differentiates it from the rest
of the all-inclusive hotels is his concept of
"All Fun Inclusive", that is,
"All the Fun Included" That means that in addition
to unlimited food and drinks, all tickets to the parks and experiences
of the Xcaret group are also included, as well as your transportation and
transportation from the airport to the hotel, and from the hotel
to the airport. How about that? Look, they already
put our bracelet on us. This is the most powerful
bracelet we have ever owned. - Oh! Power... It is the key to our room,
the entrance to parks and transport, and also all the photos
are recorded here both parks and the hotel. Normally the rooms are
delivered at 3:00 p.m., but you can make use
of the facilities from early, you can go to a park,
you can go to the pool, you can go to breakfast... We arrive from 10:00 a.m. That's something for you to keep
in mind if your flight arrives early. Well, taking advantage of
the fact that we arrived early we came to have breakfast at
one of the 10 restaurants, this is called
"El Mercado de la Merced" and it is called like that because it closely
resembles the typical Mexican markets, it is buffet style and mainly they have
appetizers, and typical Mexican food. Look, I ordered some
Michoacan beef tacos… I asked for a Menudo,
it's very good, friends How do you know this dish?
Menudo? Tripe? - Belly?
- Belly? Look, we also ordered some chorizo
and cheese quesadillas, please, with cheese. Friends, the chicharron quesadilla
is delicious. The line to eat quesadillas is slow
but it's worth it, they really are very tasty. Look at this quirky smoothie, folks. Nopal, honey, cinnamon,
coconut milk, celery... It looks kind of weird,
but it's so good, folks. So good. There is quite a variety. Friends, the food is not good,
it is spectacular, it really has a taste
of the authentic market and this is just
the first restaurant, we are already getting excited
because we are going to enjoy all these meals. Hey, and we loved
the decoration, we really like the little details
of the piñatas, the wooden boxes, the stalls,
the handmade tortillas... And just like this restaurant, all restaurants have
their own theme. In fact, we recommend that,
for the same reason, as there are many activities,
restaurants, parks are included, make an itinerary. We are going to leave a
suggested itinerary on our webpage so that you have an idea of how to organize
your stay at the Xcaret hotel. Sin Postal at the service
of the community. - There comes a calenda, a calenda.
- A calenda... Wow! Long live Oaxaca! What you just saw is a
representation of a calenda, it is traditional from
the state of Oaxaca, so go to see
the videos of Oaxaca, Oaxaca and Guelaguetza, friends. Those traditions are
the best, really. - Where are you going? Where are you going?
- Take a dip. It is already needed. Friends, we come to cool off
at the main pool and here I can share
three beautiful views, look... Over there we have an infinite
view of the Caribbean Sea, here we have the second
beautiful view, Rubi and the most beautiful
view of all, the bar. Come on, let's order something. We already ordered a Mezcalina, pretend it's like a margarita,
but with mezcal. This is passion fruit
and mine is lemon. - Cheers, cheers, friends.
- Cheers. - How about the taste
of the passion fruit? It's good, it's good,
it does taste like mezcal. Delicious! Friends, something very cool, is that here
all the drinks are Premium, for example, there is Don Julio,
Maestro Tequilero, Mezcal Ojo de Tigre, and any guest has
access to these drinks. This is not like, depending on the bracelet you have,
they offer you a kind of drinks, for all it's the same. Look, and here
they are competitions, They served me horchata water
with liquor of 43 and a touch of Buchanan's, just to give it
the scent. That bartender is good. It's good, the invention came out good. I baptize you as horchata of 43. So friends,
the hotel looks pretty big, but basically it is divided into five buildings
that are called houses here. Earth, Wind and Xpiral Houses
are familiar sections and the Water and Fire houses
are for adults only. The difference is
basically the location and the Fire house is arguably
a bit more exclusive, because even if you are an adult,
not everyone has access. But all the houses are
All Fun Inclusive, they all have access to the parks,
they have premium food and drinks... Practically everything
we show you in this video, any house can do it. Hey, how do we go about
reserving a specific house? For example, if you want
to choose the Water house, make sure the room says
the word Spa, because it is the one
near the Spa, they have a sauna
in the room and all rooms have a
volcanic stone Jacuzzi. If you want a room
in the Fire house, make sure it says "Adults Only",
without the word Spa, this is where the famous
transparent glass pool is. And the other three houses
that are the family ones, the reality is that
most rooms you cannot choose them,
they are assigned to you. Of course,
during the reservation you can put in observations
the house of your preference, but it would be under
availability. Look friends, something so great
is that in multiple points there are like food stalls,
something like for snacks. Let's see what gets through us. Look, for the healthiest, here comes
the fruit stand, the fruit, the fruit... Look friends, this is so great, a stall of marquesitas,
very traditional from the state of Yucatan. My favorite, friends,
is cajeta with ball cheese, highly recommended. Something very cool about this hotel
is that it has these coves, which are like small beaches,
in fact, they feed on the sea, they are salt water. And the cool thing
is that they are shallow, and they have no current at all. So comfortable for children to walk
around here playing peacefully. Besides that, it has many
sites to take pictures, I already see several points
where I want photos, so... - Baby, photo or what?
- Photo, photo, photo... By the way,
the marquesita is good. Hey, this area
of coves is big, all over the area there are
these lounge chairs, there are also drinks services
and something very peculiar... Look, these little caves
that are in the little shadow, here it is Jose caveman... What did you order now? A Maestro Tequilero
with a grapefruit soda. I spoiled it, but...
No way, folks... You will not want to make them so strong,
because if not, we get so happy. - Cheers. Hey, apparently lunchtime
is when all the people leave, is alone for us... In case you want
to take photos. Check out this little gem, friends... We found the queen's treasure a little bar hidden here
among the caves. Look, look...
Selfie, selfie... There comes the photo,
there comes the photo... Look, to cross to the beach
you have to climb the stairs and surround at the top. We go there, we go there. ♪♪♪ Let's go to the beach... ♪♪♪ ♪♪♪ To eat papaya... ♪♪♪ Oh no! Come on. Friends, welcome to the beach
of the Xcaret hotel. As you can see,
this whole area is rocky, in fact, there is a red flag,
which means you can't swim right now. In fact, because of how rocky,
even if the flag were green... Well, I would not bathe on this beach,
nor do I want to. We are going to walk there
to see if it is a little less rocky. And see, from here you can
see the new Xcaret Arte hotel, it is also part of the Xcaret group, but
it is totally independent from Xcaret MĂ©xico. Soon we will go to record
that hotel as well. Look at this, we are going to
go through a small natural bridge, This is where the water that goes
to the coves enters, friends, it is sea water. So you can see... See, in this part of the beach
there are lounge chairs... Well, they are not on the sand,
this is floor, but here you can relax
to contemplate the sea. Look, over here
is a bit less rocky where people can swim. - Let's see, let's put our feet
in the water. Look, they already scolded Rubi because
she is there climbing up the stones. The lifeguard is telling her
that she can't do that. Come on, come on! By the way, there are lifeguards
on practically every corner, folks. In all the pools, along the beach,
in the coves... Something very cool
also about the hotel is that most of the facilities are
suitable for strollers and wheelchairs, in fact, there are also these special
wheelchairs to get into the coves. And, well, obviously there are
vests of all sizes for all guests, everything already included,
friends, without additional costs. Friends, we are already hungry,
so we came to the Las Playas restaurant, which is next to the beach... Well, next to the coves. Here it is a la carte
and its forte is seafood. Look, we ordered a
salmon carpaccio to start with, a shrimp aguachile
and a coconut shrimp. Bon appetit! Wow! This is delicious. Friends, I don't like ax callus and here I liked the ax callus. The consistency, I don't know
what it is, it's delicious. Check out this shrimp, folks...
It's huge. Well, let's eat it. It smells so good,
it smells so good. Wow! It's so delicious. Shrimp with coconut. You want? - I almost finished it and I did not give you.
- Give me, give me. Wow! Friends, this is... Hey, something cool
of this restaurant is that there are signature
cocktails, there are 6... Look, I ordered a
Scottish horchata. Well, mine is Mexican
because it was made with tequila. Tequila, orange liqueur,
horchata and coffee. Let's see, let's see...
Wait, pinky up. Today the horchatas
are the best. Look, look... It seems that Rubi
didn't like her Pink Tonic It's not bad, but it has gin
and I'm not such a fan... But it's okay, it's okay. We continue with
a lobster toast, tuna tartare and... Grilled salmon. Coconut shrimp,
ceviche and tuna tartare, highly recommended, friends. - Highly recommended.
- The favorites ones. Hey friends, the truth is that when there
is a lobster option we always order it, but the reality is that we have
never really liked it... We really like shrimp better. Apparently we are not fine. What do you say, friends? Do you prefer lobster or shrimp? Comment, comment, comment. Even the mashed potatoes
are great, seriously, delicious. - More than the lobster?
- By far. Friends, welcome to room
3105. We are going to give
the room tour, look... Over here we have a double sink
overlooking the bed. Here is a whirlpool tub with
its respective little bubbles. Over here we have a
rather folkloric bathroom, also a rather
folkloric watering can, some bathrobes and slippers... And the scale, very important,
to know how many kilos we gain and how much exercise to do
when leaving the hotel. See, over here we have
our love nest, a King size bed
so that everyone is on their side. Here we have a desk,
a living room and the dining room
to ask for room service. And definitely, the cherry on the cake
is this terrace, folks. The view we have
is incredible. Look, with a view
of the Xpiral Tower And straight to the river. And very important, we have to see
what is in the minibar... - Let's see, let's see,
how about that? It looks good, it looks good... Apart from the soft drinks,
some juices, spring water, natural water
and a few beers... To keep fit, to keep fit! There goes the sound,
there goes the sound... Cheers, friends. Look friends,
in addition to our minibar, all rooms are received with a box of
sweets and traditional snacks, look... Amaranth, tamarinds, cocadas, mole, marzipan... All made in Mexico. And over here we have a little
machine with coffee capsules, they are very
fashionable lately, right? Something we loved about the room
is that it is full of Mexican handicrafts, from the hammock of Yucatan,
the cushions of Chiapas, the pictures with
Hidalgo embroidery, the onyx from San Luis PotosĂ, the pots with
Talavera de Puebla, even the trash can
with Guerrero palm. Can you imagine how many stories
there are behind all the decoration? How many hands
and families? Because all of this is handmade. And the million dollar question:
What can we take home from all this? Only the bag, the slippers
and the sweets. Without the box,
just the sweets. Both the umbrella and
the bathrobe have a cost, in case you want
to take it home. Look friends, this curiosity,
there is the toilet. Turn on the light, baby - Goodbye.
- Goodbye. - Crazy, right? That's crazy. Where is Rubi? I'm here. It's locustrukis, baby. See this, in Xcaret everything that
begins with "S", is replaced with "X". Xampoo and Xanitizing. By the way, you can also take all the kit
that they give you in the bathroom, the toothbrush, the comb,
there are various items, but if you are not going to use them,
why take them, friends? Then it ends up being
just garbage. And in terms of rooms, they are all suites,
that is to say, luxury. There are basically
four categories, the Suite, the Jr. Suite, the Swim Up
and the Master Suite. For example, we originally paid one of the simplest rooms,
which is the River Suite, that is, overlooking the river, but at the time of check-in
they made us a room upgrade, instead of putting us on the second floor,
they put us on the first floor and leaving the balcony
we can swim directly to the river. They tell us that this can be
requested at the time of check-in, however it is
under availability, since there are very few rooms of
this type that face the river directly. Hey, to give you an idea of all the rooms
there are and which houses they are in... Here we leave the table
with the whole summary. Sin Postal at the service
of the community. Well, if life gives us lemons,
let's make lemonade. Let's jump into the river...
1, 2, 3... Lemonade, lemonade. And through these stairs
you go up to your room. Again or what? Orale, Orale! Look, depth 6 meters. You have to be careful,
you have to be careful... We better put on the life jacket. Look, there is the lifeguard,
in fact, it was he who told us: "Hey, you can only swim near your room,
everything else requires a vest." Hotel Xcaret! So friends,
the room is amazing, the view is incredible and the refreshment
we just had was incredible. By the way, most of the rooms have a maximum
capacity of three adults and one child, or two adults and two children
over 5 years old. Hey, taking advantage of the fact that it
is also included, we came to Xcaret park, we did about 10 minutes and you have to know
that here in the park also all buffet restaurants
are included. What is not included are
the bars, the snacks and, in general,
food and drinks Ă la carte. And the million dollar question, friends: Why is the Xcaret hotel
so expensive? As you have seen, the hotel includes
unlimited Premium food and drinks. That is to say,
of the best quality. In addition, it also gives you access
to all the parks of the Xcaret group. The reality is that
having all this included it can't be cheap. In fact, you have to be very careful
with pirate agencies, suddenly appear
"promotions" on Facebook of $30,000 MXN for a whole
family for a week. Impossible, friends,
that does not exist. Do not fall into the trap! Check the agency well, request it's tourism registration and verify that it does match
the official page... They may give you
the number of another agency. Friends, be careful... Do not confuse hotel Xcaret MĂ©xico
with "Occidental At XCaret" either, they are different hotels
with very different rates. To tell you an example, one of
the cheapest rates for next year it is around $ 9000 MXN
per night, per couple... And, well, from there up. And very important
the rates are never fixed, are constantly changing
throughout the year as the hotel fills up. It is based on
supply and demand. For example, if you make a quote today
for a certain date and you make a quote again
within a month for the same date, very surely the rate
will be different. In fact, Xcaret hotel
does not have low season, people come to it
all year round. By the way, we recommend that you do not miss
the MĂ©xico Espectacular show, here in the park. If you make a
restaurant reservation, try to do it at 10:00 p.m.
so that once the show is over, then go to your dinner. But hey, let's go back to the hotel because
we have to get ready to go to dinner. - Hello Baby! - Baby... - We don't want
to see you doing the 2... Friends, well, we came to another of the bars,
this is the lobby bar and it is super nice, here we asked the bartender
to surprise us with a drink... And boy were we surprised! A very fine margarita, friends, with macerated cucumber and
a touch of Don Julio 70 tequila... What about that? - Cheers! Cheers, friends. Look friends, here there is also
a menu of signature cocktails with very Mexican liquors. Besides Tequila and Mezcal, Bacanora, Sotol, Schnapps... Are we ordering
one of each or what? - Wait, wait, at least one. Friends, order an Adelita,
it's so delicious, it has Bacanora
and lime mead. I had never tasted Bacanora
and it tastes so delicious here. See, this drink is called
Mi Cielo, it has Piloncillo Schnapps,
it is exquisite, friends. I hope that after a while
we don't walk around so happily. The cocktails offered by the lobby
are worth tasting. And now we are running
because we were late for dinner. Friends, we made it, we were 15 minutes late
for our dinner reservation, but fortunately they honored
our reservation. José says that happened
to us for idiots, I say for lack of signs. At night it's easier to get lost, really... But hey, here we are. Speaking of reservations, there are
three restaurants that must be reserved. The dinners at Las Cuevas,
Chingao and Teatro del RĂo. We recommend that you do it
3 to 4 weeks in advance. This place is called
Las Cuevas because the theme
is a restaurant inside a cave and the specialty is steakhouse, but not just any steakhouse, folks... It is a Mexican steakhouse. In addition to the traditional
Brazilian cuts, there are also Mexican cuts, like suckling pig, kid,
green sausage... And there are also 5 complement bars
where there are salads, seafood, pasta, nuts and other dishes. The truth is that today's dinner
looks pretty good. Look friends,
I grabbed some shrimp to peel, a smoked salmon, red fruit salad, aubergines and even bananas. Everything looks so good. Look, the feast of swords
has already begun, around here we have beef,
octopus and lamb... That piece looks good. Oh yeah! Look, typical green chorizo
from Toluca, all the chorizos are handmade. - Let's see, eat it, eat it... This one in a taquito or a quesadilla
would be... Uff! It's so tasty, friends. - Oh la la! Look at this... - That Picanha looks so good... Greasy. - Come on, come on... Yeah. The Picanha is so good, friends. So so good. The Rib Eye and the Picanha...
So good! See, the drink of the house,
direct from Michoacán, a traditional Charanda
with different fruits. Cheers, friends. And see friends, we close with a flourish,
with a piece of tongue. The shrimp "a la talla"
and the tongue... They are also so good, friends. In total, there are around
20 swords, we really couldn't eat them all, this time the swords beat us and we couldn't get
to the pineapple with cinnamon. No way, friends...
You have to know when to retire and we still have enough restaurants
to try here at the hotel. Well, we sacrifice
for you, folks. The dessert recommended
by the chef himself, chocolate volcano. Look, look... Wow! This is so delicious! The paradise come down to earth is called a Hey, well, in general,
the food was exquisite, the only detail of the place is that
it is a little hot, really... But food wise, to be honest,
they are the best. Las Cuevas is so tasty. Don't forget to book in advance. Friends, another thing that
we are really liking about the hotel is that it has a very active nightlife
and multiple live shows. Come on, we hear one over here,
let's see what it is. Friends, we came to
La Cantina, Los Faroles. During the day it is a restaurant and at night,
as the name implies, it is a canteen. It's great to continue
the party. There's a DJ here, live music,
and food and drinks until 2:00 a.m. Here there are also
signature cocktails... We are delighted that in several restaurants
and bars there are these original options and, in fact, in each place
the drinks are different. The Two Minds drink
here is terrific. - What had that, baby?
- Tejate, Tejate from Oaxaca. - The atmosphere is good,
the atmosphere is so good. It is terrific. According to us,
we went to sleep early, it's almost 2:00 a.m., this place really got us. The atmosphere is terrific,
the music is great. It's awesome! They put us a little bit of everything,
salsa, rock in Spanish, even bands, friends. We had never heard bands
in an "All Inclusive", usually they put songs
for the foreigner. That did seem like
a real Mexican cantina, in fact, a wedding. Good morning joy! Today we get up early to see
the sunrise from the Xpiral Tower. - Highest point of the Xcaret Hotel. Friends, the truth is that
getting up early is heavy and more when you are
on vacation, but we are here and, to be honest,
it is totally worth it. I almost didn't make it. He almost didn't make it, folks...
But I didn't allow it. So if you are one of those
who are not so active in the morning, I recommend that you find
someone like Rubi. No, seriously... As a tip, there is an elevator
from the base or if you are very fit you can come
running up the ramp or up the stairs. And right here, at the top,
is the famous chapel, it is catholic,
so if you are about to get married... You already know where, friends. Imagine getting married
at Hotel Xcaret... But it's quite expensive, folks. We do consider it,
we do ask prices, but YouTube doesn't generate
that much revenue, folks. This is definitely one of the chapels with
the best view in the entire Riviera Maya, if not the best, friends. Look, from here you can see
the Xcaret park, over there is Xplore
and over there is Xenses. Selfie, selfie! Photo, photo! Look, this is so cool, friends... Here in the hallway,
almost in front of the lobby, there is a small stand with
pancakes and tacos of cochinita. What a thrill! Literal, a morning stall... - Let's see, let's see...
How does it taste? It's hot! The cochinita pibil is
basically marinated pork and it is a very typical
Yucatan dish. Cochinita pibil
never fails, friends. And see, the pancakes
are mini, to tasting. Look friends, infallible proof
that this is a little stall is that the napkins
are hanging here. That is so good. Thanks. Hey, the cochinita pibil was just
a snack to whet your appetite and now we are going
to have breakfast. We are in ChibalĂ,
this is a buffet restaurant, there's a little bit
of everything, but the cool thing is that here is a section
like desserts and sweets, so it is a mandatory stop
if you come with children. Or big kids, like José. Look friends, we ordered
green and red chilaquiles, bacon... Over here we have
barbecue taquitos, Mexican chorizo, Argentine chorizo,
bananas and Oaxaca cheese. Well, the correct name is quesillo
and it is very traditional from Oaxaca, that is why the already very commercial ones
remained like Oaxaca cheese. But look at this cheese,
this one is handmade, the real one, the original... And this is eaten like this... The truth is that we love
that there are such Mexican products and, of course, the café de olla
could not be missed. Friends, if you visit us from another country,
when you come to Mexico, really, try the café de olla,
it's so delicious, It has a touch of cinnamon
and brown sugar. Delicious, delicious! It makes us laugh that the bar says
"Mexican Coffee", Look, RubĂ grabbed some
waffles for dessert. To accompany with the coffee. Take a look at these drinks, folks... My drinks today,
from this morning... Cookie atole to try
the house drink, café de olla
to finish waking up, little green juice
to keep me fit, Mimosa to connect
last night and chibadi cotton candy shake
to finish off. OMG! It's so good. And see,
the straw is also eaten... - Friends, this is the reason why
we have gained several pounds. Look, there is a great variety
of Mexican sweets here, where children
can be very happy, All these wooden toys
look so good. Comment, comment, friends...
Who has a wooden toy of these yet? No way! I have not eaten
a dragon for a long time, they are so delicious. Oh la la! Ice cream cart... Let's see, let's see, friends... Look at that piñata, who is that character?
Let's see, let's see... Candy heaven... Wow! In fact, this restaurant is in the Wind house,
which is the most familiar, because it has
children's facilities. In fact, leaving the restaurant is Xiquillos,
which is like the children's club, here you can bring your children and
drop them off from 9:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. Well, you just have to come by
for a moment to take them out to eat. It is very cool because there is a program of
activities throughout the day for the children. This other section is called Xipal
and it is more like for teenagers, here there is billiards, table football,
ping pong and other activities, See this truck with snacks... Looks cool, right? That Xipal room was alone,
there was not a soul. Well yes, having parks and all the activities,
who is going to lock himself in that room? That's true, that's true. Who is going to go play soccer
while having Xcaret park? See, here is also
the children's pool, this is where the famous
octopus slide is. This is where the little ones
have fun, friends. This part is 20 centimeters deep and over here
we have 1.20 meters. See, it can not miss
the vests for the little ones and obviously there are
lifeguards here too. And as for the parks it takes
at least 9 days to know them all, experiences and spend at least
one day at the hotel. We already have a detailed video
of all of them, you can see each and every one of the parks,
and so you can decide which one to choose. If fewer days come to the hotel,
the parks that we recommend the most are: XCaret, Xel-ha and Xplor And you can take advantage of one of the nights
to go to Xoximilco / Xplor-Fire. In fact, the hotel is next to the XCaret,
Xplor and Xenses parks, to these it is not necessary
to reserve, for those that do need
to book in advance, especially for
transportation issues are: Xel-ha, Xenotes,
Xoximilco and Xavage, as well as the experiences
of archaeological zones. One of the most demanded, friends,
is Xoximilco, We recommend that you reserve it
at least one month in advance, as well as restaurants. Very important, if you happen to miss
any of the reservations of these parks, there is a penalty
of $ 20 per person... So don't miss
your reservation, friends. Well, if you are going to be absent,
give 24 hours notice. There are four ways to get
from the hotel to Xcaret park: Walking, by bicycle, in the famous bus
"La Despeinada" or in these "Trajineras". The bus and the trajineras
leave every half hour and... Well, by any means it will take
about 10-15 minutes. Look, the path to go walking
is next to the trajineras here and both the bus
and bicycles are in the lobby. Look, look... Here come the Mayans,
here come the Mayans in their canoe. From here they can be seen,
from here they can be seen! By the way, all these moments
where a mariachi appears, the tambora,
the Mayans, suddenly... None of this is planned
or scheduled, they suddenly appear from somewhere,
it is lucky to run into them. No way!
Look at that fish, it's huge. Wow! Hey friends, this "All Fun Inclusive"
does leave us in a dilemma or we enjoy the room
and all the amenities, or we're going
to walk around the hotel, or we go to a park. Hey, you wanna see
my calendar poses? See, there are no
plastic bottles here, all is bottled water
by Xcaret itself. Everything is so ecological. In fact, it is said that the trees
and all the wood they obtained when they built
all these facilities, they used them for furniture
in rooms and restaurants. So they say, so they say... And put channel one
on your TV in the room and they are going to show you some
of the photos that have been taken. Look, there we are,
there we are... We are famous,
we are on TV... Wow! Something very cool is that
the buildings are connected by means of these
hanging bridges and in most are
the famous selfies. As a tip, if you acquire the photographs,
in at least one of the parks, as a courtesy,
they are given those of the hotel. Look, this is the price
of the photos, They charge you per park,
per room, look... For two parks, two people... If you do not go to any park
you can also buy the ones from the hotel and remember that one
is worth the same as a thousand. So if you buy them,
take advantage of them. Always be attentive to see
all the scanners - Look, look...
- Selfie, selfie, selfie... Oh! They already took it... Look, these phones are scattered
throughout the hotel, they are helplines, basically in case
you have any questions, if the bracelet was left
in the room, not having to go to the lobby and back,
among other things. Look, the bracelet
is like a watch, you can take it off
and put it on. Look, this is so cool, folks... They are masks carved in wood
by artisans from Guerrero. They are so amazing, right? No way! What a beauty... Wow! It seems to me that it seems a
mixture of Guerrero with Nayarit, because that is Huichol art, all the chaquiritas
is one by one. It is precisely this Mexican concept
that this hotel has that is making us
fall in love with it, the decoration of the entire hotel
made by Mexican artisans, the rooms, the restaurants
with authentic national ingredients, traditional drinks
and even music, friends, Throughout the hotel there are
also speakers with songs that all Mexicans know. Seriously, it is quite
a cultural experience. The lobby, for example,
is a handicraft feast, it's so pretty. In fact, if you want to buy some,
this is where there are several shops. Look, friends, what a good service
here in the elevator, there are even waiting chairs. Look at the decoration,
really, it is incredible. - What part of Mexico
will this be from? Hey, the hotel is
on different levels, but to give you an idea, on the fifth floor is the lobby, on third floor the pools and on the first floor the river. In the elevator you find it like this,
5L, L for lobby, 3P, P for Pool and 1R, R for River. Don't get lost in the elevator. Friends, one of the activities here, in the cove,
is kayaking and paddle boarding. Hey, it's so cool... They are about 400 meters and it is so comfortable,
so calm... You can observe the landscape. Row, baby... Row! Let's go, let's go... Turbo. We will row, we will row... We are passing a bridge... There it is, there it is, the bridge... It's short, folks... It's cool to come
and chatter. Basically it is the front
of the Xcaret Mexico hotel from Earth house to where
the Xcaret Arte hotel begins. And see friends, who did not row? Who did not row? Don't say it was me... This route is really nice, friends. It is so worth it. Remember, to get to the beach
is through the bridges, over there. Look, that's another restaurant tomorrow we are going
to have breakfast there. Friends, for this activity
do not forget your long sleeves, I forgot it in the room and
I had to wear one of José's. So lazy! She would have gone
to the room, right? You have to be practical,
what is at hand. And for those who keep fit,
there is a calisthenics circuit, which is exercise
with your own weight. There are about 10 stations, the famous islands... In fact, when we arrived
they gave us a sheet with a routine, in case we wanted to come. I have to say that in this area there is
such a beautiful view of the river, of the rooms and the pools. Come on Rubi, come on Rubi...
At least one station. No man!
We didn't even bring tennis. Don't forget your tennis shoes
if you want to do this. No, it's with the rope, baby...
Not with the wood. Look, what a cheater... Do not go to fall,
do not go to fall. Let's see, it's your turn. Let's see, come on... Oh no! I shouldn't have come... - This one is easier, baby.
- Let's see, let's see... Come on, baby...
Exercise with your own weight. Oh no! - That's it, I give up. - I give up. This part is cool enough to
come for a run in the morning... There really is not much, but it is nice
that it is like between nature. By the way, friends... We have not seen,
but the hotel is Pet Friendly, that is, it does allow pets. It has an additional cost and the requirement
is that they weigh less than 5 kilos. And the other million
dollar question: It's really worth it? Well, it depends, friends...
If you are going to book for two weeks, It will be very expensive,
I would say no. Well, unless money is not
an issue for you. But if you book in advance and you already have the plan to pay for an
all-inclusive hotel for three or four nights, and also Xcaret parks,
it's totally worth it. With the sheer cost of the parks
you will see that it is worth it. To give you an idea,
September of the following year, which is more than a year in advance, pay $1200 MXN pesos per month
per person, for 12 months... Sounds good! And at least we recommend
that you stay two or three nights, and one of those days is dedicated
exclusively to the hotel so that you take advantage of at least
a little bit of everything it offers. Friends, and if you are one of those
who love to swim, there is also a river
of about a kilometer and, in fact, it is the one
that passes through our room. Come to see what we bump into. - Jump in the river. Ah! Here the use of a
life jacket is mandatory. - Rubi is always so brave. Come, come... I better go down the stairs. Apparently there are
several slides, friends... But right now they are closed
for maintenance. It is what it is, excuse to return. There are several exits
in case you get tired... Well, you can rest a little bit. In addition, there are many places
to take photos. - A pic over there,
a pic over there. Photo, photo... There are low parts
and there are very deep parts, apparently the deepest is 6 meters,
that's why the vest. Look, like our room, but these
are the ones in the Fire house. Here comes Rubi. And look,
that's where our room is... Go, go! Hey, it's really slippery,
be very careful. We got to our room. - Should we rest or continue?
- We continue, we continue... - Go, go... We got to this little beach, those between the buildings
are called playones... Well, here we are also
going to take a little break. - It's heavy, we were swimming
against the current, I think we started
the other way around. Look at these little pools,
they are like the caves of Tolantongo, but you can't swim here, they are only decorative. They look great, right? This pool is called a diamond precisely
because it is shaped like a diamond. - It is infiniti, but towards the Xerro.
- The Xerro. Look, here's another selfie…
Photo, photo, photo! Well, let's continue... By the way, the maximum time to
be swimming here is also 6:00 p.m. Look at this huge entrance... It's also cool, right? They are so striking landscapes. Hey, if you see caves,
tunnels... Don't worry, you can go there. The only places where you cannot pass
is where you see buoys. Hey, is it that way? Or maybe over there? Maybe it's through
that exit... Maybe it's over there... - Where are we going? Or maybe you have to climb. See friends, that one there
is the famous Teatro del RĂo, there is also a specialty dinner restaurant,
which must be reserved. In fact, we couldn't book and the great thing about this one
is that it is a multi-course dinner, and it has a show like
the one in the park... But hey, shorter and smaller. Be very careful, because this
is the only reserve restaurant that if you do not arrive they charge you
a penalty, if you do not notify. And it is called Teatro del RĂo because a
river divides the artists from the diners. We will not swim, we will not swim...
Against the current. We made it, folks. The end is just in the Wind house and the truth is that we were rowing
against the current, it was heavy As a recommendation,
better start in the Wind house... - And end up on the beach.
- At the sea. Look, these are the entrances, they are next to the playones,
it is where all the vests of all sizes are, from S to XXXL,
in case you like to eat a lot. Like José. Friends, we are already hungry, so we come to eat at
La Trajinera restaurant. Here is primarily
a seafood buffet and the coolest thing is the view
of the pool and the sea. As it is the most central and closest
to the lobby, it has a little more people, We waited about 5 minutes
to pass, but... Look, While we waited...
A Corona beer. - How's the view?
- Great, it looks great... Look, it makes me want
to eat a shrimp and... Lay me down like a fish. - The only thing we didn't love
is this lamp... You already broke it... You already owe a lamp, Rubi.
You already owe a lamp. - No, no... We already fixed it See, it doesn't let me see
the one in front. Just look at all
that we order, friends... Look, paella, squid rings, over here we have shrimp
a la diabla, with butter, salmon and tuna ceviche. Look, this was so great because they prepared me an aguachile
with the ingredients that I chose. It was to taste. And the seafood broth
could not be missing for Rubi. My mouth is watering,
I want to taste everything. And there is also
the shrimp cocktail. - Now we're ready...
- Bon appetite, friends. And we've already removed the lamp
so we can see each other. Friends, in short, most of the dishes
were so good, but so good, so so good...
So good. Definitely what gets the biggest prize
is the aguachile to taste. Those shrimp with
tuna and chiltepin chili... A gem, friends... A gem. Hey friends, well, we've been
eating and drinking all the time, and the truth is that everything is
of very good quality, very tasty... So if you are looking for a hotel
with a good choice of food and drinks, without a doubt this place
is a very good option. Hey, there are two restaurants
that we don't have included, one of them is "Ha",
it is a multi-course restaurants, from the renowned chef
Carlos Gaitán, the first Mexican
to win a Michelin star. And the other one is Brunch Dominical, which, as its name says,
is every Sunday. They have told us
that it is very good, we will have to return some
Sunday to see if it is true. You can come to these two restaurants
even if you're not staying, in fact, there is a price
for guest and for non-guests. Well, we already come to the other pool
of the Wind house. The cool thing about here is that
it is calmer, there are fewer people and there is also a bar. Look, I ordered an Aperol,
which matches José's glasses. And José ordered
a guava margarita... Gross! It's so so good, friends. Margarita with natural guava syrup
and Maestro Tequilero Dobel Diamante. I want you three feet away
after you finish your margarita. Pretend it's like Rubi is a vampire
and this is garlic... Back Rubi... Back, back. Hey friends, a way to come to
Xcaret hotel without having to stay, it is through the Day Pass. Which, as the name says,
is a day pass in which you can come,
make use of the facilities, eat, drink,
but only in the hotel, it's not like you can
go to a park from here... No, it only applies
inside the hotel. There are three types of passes, the day pass
which is from 9:00 a.m. at 6:00 p.m., the one at night
which is 6:00 p.m. at 11:00 p.m., or Full Day which is from
9:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. These passes are purchased
directly with the hotel and it is under availability, if the hotel is full,
then there is no Day Pass. Hey friends, what would you prefer? A room where you jump into a river?
As well as ours. Or the one where you jump
and hit a bar? Just like this, look... It's hard to choose. The one at the bar,
the one at the bar... Look friends, in general, the suite
types are the ones on the second floor up and the Swim Up category,
are those that are at the pool level. Hey, they are going
to close this bar, so RubĂ already went
to order the supplies. What's that baby? Maestro Tequilero
Dobel Diamente. This is the best,
says the voice of experience. They are already starting
to put several stalls... Look, this is the taco stand. Obviously, I'm looking
for the corn stand. See, and here, next to the tacos obviously
have to be the soft drinks and juices, you cannot miss the Bong
and the horchata water. Grape chaparritas, a real gem. It would be useful for
making a commercial, right? Seeing is believing, folks... Sweet potato. No way! - There it is, baby... There it is.
- What a thrill! We found the corn stand. Friends, see this gem,
esquite with grasshoppers, We had only tasted
this in Oaxaca. - Let's see, let's see... Come on, taste it...
- What a delight! What a treat! My mouth is watering. - Look how excited Rubi is
with her corn. - Hey, don't fill up,
because we're just going to dinner. This does not fill,
this does not fill. It really tastes so good
with grasshoppers, dare to order it
with grasshoppers, I know that many people are not encouraged
to order it like that, but it's so good. One of the dinners without reservation
worth visiting is Cantina Los Faroles, specializes in Oaxacan food and it really is a whole
Oaxacan experience, the details like the sauces, grasshopper guacamole, the little dishes like those of
the November 20 market... As a starter, a shrimp broth and a quesadilla without tortilla
highly recommended, folks. No tortilla refers
to pure cheese. The decoration is so nice, in fact, this is where a lot
of lanterns are on the ceiling. And, at night,
which becomes more like a canteen, they begin to change colors. The atmosphere is so good. And for the main course we obviously
had to order a good Tlayuda de Tasajo, we already added grasshoppers,
of course. I ordered an Oaxacan snack,
bring a little of everything and I am surprised
that it really tastes like in Oaxaca. The chorizo from Tlacolula
is delicious. Hey, the signature mixology
of this restaurant is spectacular. It was the second one that I liked the most
after the one in the lobby. It's so delicious! Order a Gallito
and Dos Mentes cocktail. Well, today we made a reservation
at the Asian restaurant Xin-Gao and while they give us the table
we are here at the bar for some drinks with Sake, which is the traditional
drink of Japan. It is delicious,
it has red fruits this one. In fact, folks, it's the first hotel
we've been to and that Sake is included. Usually this drink has
an additional price... Well, we already ordered Sake,
we ordered it pure to taste it. It smells, it smells...
It smells funny. It smells like fermented. Hey! It doesn't taste strong,
I thought it would taste like... This drink makes me doubt,
you drink and drink, and you don't feel it... And then you end up like... Well, in the end,
you do feel the alcohol, right? Besides, I think that
the hangover must be good, so we better go carefully. By the way, there are
two types of reservations. you can reserve the Teppanyaki table, which is
when they do the show and they cook you live or you can also reserve
a la carte menu. as a starter we order some
banana cheese skewers, and a lobster,
shrimp and crab toast. - Let's see, let's see... Next round, salmon tiradito,
tuna sashimi and sushi. I liked all three. Rubi didn't love raw tuna. That's a matter of taste, folks. My Ramen has arrived and this is definitely
what I liked the most of what we have ordered. It's very good. Order a Ramen Hey, the skewers are delicious, shrimp and beef. In fact, this style or technique
of food is called Robatayaki... Note that the Japanese put
vegetables, seafood, meat... And they practically
cook them over the grill. It's so delicious! Delicious! By the way, regarding the dress code
in specialty restaurants it is formal-casual. Basically, you don't have to come like
in a bathing suit, you have to come decent. Hey, honestly, the Asian restaurant is the one
that has surprised us the least so far, so if for some reason
you can't make a reservation, do not stress because it is not like
you are missing the best restaurant. And don't get me wrong,
it's not bad... It's actually pretty good,
but we didn't find it spectacular compared to the others that, in fact,
have been breakfast and meals. So for you to understand me,
on the Sin Postal scale, throughout our stay,
José does every 5 minutes... And here, in this restaurant...
Well, it was just the skewers. It's already something to say, right? But don't worry, friends, because we don't stop
here for food. For dinner, in addition to
the three reservation restaurants, there are five others
where reservations are not required. Right now we came to the market,
to eat the dessert here, I went to see the food
and everything looks so delicious. Too bad that we are
already so full. This time the food beat us. Look, I ordered a strawberry
crepe with milkmaid and a little chocolate snowball
from Abuelita brand. The Abuelita chocolate, the Abuelita chocolate snow,
friends, it's amazing. It's delicious. - See? To that "Mmm" I mean. Along with a delicious
Tejate from Oaxaca and a delicious
guava water, friends. - He insists, he insists on taking
guava, why? Why? It is the best fruit in the world. Good morning joy! Again we get up early to
contemplate the sunrise, this time we came
to the beach... It is so pretty. And as a tip for sunrise, friends,
just type in Google "Sunrise in Xcaret" and it will give you
the exact time the sun rises, you have to be 10 minutes
before that time. - How about our front row
watching this beautiful sunrise? This stone seat is good. In fact, you can stay comfortably
on the lounge chairs or come to this side of the beach
where everything looks more natural. Look, today the beach
has sargassum, not even the rocks
are saved from this alga. Look friends, the advantage of getting up early
and being the first to arrive at the restaurant is to have the best view... It's so pretty, right? You see?
The early bird gets the prime time. Today we come to have breakfast at Bio,
this restaurant has a very different concept, since it is vegan, that means
that no product is of animal origin. Can you believe it?
Even the bread. It has no butter,
no milk, no eggs... Bread without those ingredients. - Let's see, the vegan test. This is the first time that we are going
to eat 100% vegan food, right? - Yes, yes...
- Let's see... Hey, it's so yummy! Hey, all the food has arrived, but because we were taking photos,
the sun has already started to hit us. Happiness doesn't come cheap. - You're so philosophical today, babe. Look, we ordered some bowls, that are prepared
with fruits and seeds, I ordered it from cocoa, It looks so good, doesn't it? I ordered an Acai, all the time
we have pronounced it wrong, because it reads Acai,
but it is Asai. We also ordered a bread
with avocado and hummus, and some muffins
with spinach. Well, let's see, let's see
what all this vegetarian food tastes like. Friends, we were quite
surprised by these bowls, they really are yummy. I had seen them in photos
and things like that... and I really didn't feel like them,
but they really are very tasty. In addition, after everything we have eaten
we already needed something fit. The cocoa bowl has a
coconut shake and it is so yummy. Look at this little gem, today will be the first day
that we will take a healthy shot... They are the famous juices
made with Cold Press... It is a concentrate of
different types of fruits. Let's see how this one tastes. - Shot, shot shot...
Fruit shot. It feels like concentrate...
Scrape, scrape. - Does it scrape like alcohol? Scrapes just like alcohol,
but they are healthier. What I felt was ginger. This is like juice concentrate, this equates to a large glass, but with the advantage that here you already
have all the vitamins and all the nutrients. In fact, it has more! - Drink it to the bottom...
- Bottom, bottom, bottom... - Let's see, let's see...
- How delicious! Delicious! And yes, as you say,
scrape the ginger here a bit, but it is so tasty. Ginger is good for digestion. The bread with avocado and hummus
is also very tasty, the lentils also give it
such a tasty touch. And look, the muffins
instead of having cheese they have macadamia
nut cottage cheese. - And how does it taste?
- It's yummy, it's so yummy. - Shot, shot, shot...
- Shot, shot, shot... - Cheers?
- Oops! The restaurant is beautiful... It's so nice! Hey, it's quite
an interesting option, as well as to vary it one day
and eat something different. And despite the fact
that I am a very carnivore, I loved it, to be honest. Yes, I'm being vegan... Well, no... I don't think so,
but it was so tasty. It is very important to mention that in all
restaurants there are vegan options as well. And also in all the restaurants
they have asked us if we have any type
of allergy to consider it. See that's the area of Fire, only those who are in
the Fire house stay there or those with Jr. Suite
rooms and up. Only adults come in, folks. Look, the truth is that
there is no loss, main pool, Xpiral house, Earth house,
La Playa restaurant, the coves,
here is the beach there is Bio and Las Cuevas,
Casa Fuego and towards the back is the lobby,
Water and Wind houses. Stroller area in case you
need it for your baby. Remember, everything is
already included, everything. Friends, we are impressed
by the detail of the decoration. Look, on each floor, on each column,
there is a palm tree... How do they do it? Everything is so cool. The facilities are so nice. Look friends, Rubi made me
inflatable her donut because she wanted to float
on the river at the Xcaret hotel. The donut is ours, but surely
they also sell it here in the little store. - Hey, can you borrow me your donut?
- No! - You're so mean! So mean!
- I'm kidding, come, come... In the coves you can be
swimming until 6:00 p.m., because until that time
the lifeguards are here. Really, everything is so beautiful,
there are several waterfalls, stone walls,
with a tropical touch... And the best of all is that
sargassum does not enter here, they have a double mesh
that stops it. Look it would be great to take
a place around here near the waterfalls, lie down and
relax to that sound. Look, apparently there is
going to be a wedding. It looks pretty,
this could be you and me, baby... But you refuse. Well, let's see... Pay it, pay it. Another thing we are seeing is that
even though the hotel is full because, in fact, yesterday we saw
a lot of people in the lobby... Well, it is being distributed
among all the parks, all the areas And that's how we see this,
for example, alone, alone... - Alone, alone,
just as you see it. - This paradise alone. - How curious, isn't it?
That's great, right? Look friends, this beautiful view
is the front of the Xpiral, the Xerro, it's cool, right? - A pic or what?
- Photo, photo... This is so emblematic of the Xcaret hotel
and you can take all kinds of photos, friends. Hey, here is also a Spa
that is inside the Water house, in fact, it is the house that is
at the bottom, next to the trajineras and all services, all,
have an additional cost. Here I leave you a menu with the prices
that we have just been given. Only some rooms,
especially in the Water house, include some amenities
inside the Spa. Look, here in the Water house
there is also the gym. It's so empty... You do not see a soul. Paddle tennis court alone,
tennis court alone. I mean, having all
the Xcaret parks free, it is understood why
there are no people here. Friends, it's time
to leave the room, we don't want to go, the good thing is that
even if we give up the room we will be able to continue
using the facilities until 6:00 p.m. All rooms have that courtesy and you can even go
to a park on the last day. Friends, we really wanted to be fit,
we almost become vegan, but we couldn't leave without
first trying the room service. We sacrifice for you, folks. - What a sacrifice, baby!
What a sacrifice! I ordered a salmon bagle and José ordered Egg... With what? - With sausage from Yucatan,
from TemozĂłn. I love salmon bagles. And my eggs
with sausage from Yucatán... Well, from Temozón,
they are so rich, friends. Yes, it tasted like
the sausage there. With hash brown potato. All rooms have a room service
24 hours a day, it takes about an hour,
so you take it into account and it is also
so tasty, friends. - José and his choco milk. Cheers, Friends...
I mean, bon appetit. Friends, and if you come
the last day to Xcaret park and you will arrive
after 6:00 p.m., notify it... Because they are a little strict
with the schedule and so that they do not
charge you the night pass. Hey, so far the food and drinks
have been spectacular, the facilities are impressive, the guest service
has been so good, we didn't love
the beach that much, but it is compensated
with the coves, because they are
so comfortable. As for activities, well... Something that we have not seen
as in other hotels are entertainers, but the reality is that having
all the Xcaret parks available... When it comes to fun,
we don't stop. Do we recommend it?
Is it worth what we paid? Well, for us definitely yes. Our stay has been
so good, friends. In general, for abroad, the hotel is a very impressive
Mexican cultural sample, and for the Mexican, it is really
a pride to try the typical food, see all the crafts
in the hotel, listen to the music... We love to feel that the treatment is the same
for both foreigners and Mexicans And this is not always
the case in all hotels, friends. It is definitely a hotel
that touched our feelings and more than a lodging,
it is an experience. About the restaurants,
our favorites were El Mercado, authentic mexican food. La Trajinera, which is made with seafood
and all the dishes are so tasty. And Los Faroles to have a
delicious Oaxacan dinner. Oh la la! In none of the three
reservations is necessary. Friends, let's go take
the last dip. What do you prefer?
A tequila or a vodka? Tequila, tequila! Okay, okay... Now what are you going
to order, baby? A mezcalito, you have to take advantage
of the fact that there is good quality. Well, cheers
with a tiger's eye mezcal... Well, we do not know if it is quality,
but it is fashionable, you have to taste it. Cheers! That bartender makes
strong mezcals. Well, to continue,
better with passion fruit. By the way, folks... Another cool thing
is that most syrups are natural. Selfie, selfie, selfie... Wow! As for transportation, from the airport to here
there is not so much problem, they are 24 hours a day,
every half hour, but for the return,
from the hotel to the airport, it is recommended that you
reserve it 24 hours in advance. Friends, if you made it this far,
thank you very much. We really appreciate it. It was long, it was long... Well, with this beautiful view
and this last drink... La Caminera. We said goodbye to
the Xcaret MĂ©xico hotel. We hope you liked it
as much as we did. You already know
that we love you very much, We send you kisses, hugs...
See you next time. - Goodbye. - Goodbye. - We already know why
the taco stand is always full - How do they taste, baby?
- They are yummy. The green chorizo was my favorite,
it is so delicious. Look at this, tongue, smoothie,
head, belly and pork rinds... - How about the taquitos, baby? - They taste like those
on the street, right? And with blue tortilla. A true gem,
for those who are not Mexicans... Give them a try, this is how
they really taste on the street.
