Introduction

Reviews

An adults-only haven with unlimited access to a host of adventure parks.

The grown-up sister of neighbouring Hotel Xcaret features the same wildly popular concepts – fantastic dining, stunning river networks, a hydrotherapy spa and an all-inclusive activity programme – but elevates them to adults-only. Dining is in dramatically designed restaurants; sophisticated suites feature hammocks on the terrace and pools are a great mix of serenity and fun.

Why we love Hotel Xcaret Arte

Top chef restaurants with flavours from the Yucatan, Puebla, Lebanon and China.
The tranquilizing natural cave spa with mud rooms, salt rooms and hydrotherapy circuits.
Dance, pottery, weaving and painting workshops are included in the All-Fun Inclusive® Package.
Suites in Casa de los Artistas give you exclusive access to Kibi Kibi restaurant and the rooftop pool.

Rooms

The art of Mexico extends through to the design of the suites with feature motif wall hangings and traditional hammocks on the balcony or terrace. Choose from views of the gardens, the man-made rivers that wind their way around the resort or the sea. The suites in Casa de la Paz are the closest to the spa and are the best option if you’re seeking an all-out wellness break, whereas the suites in Casa de los Artistas are for guests over 18 and have exclusive access to the rooftop pool and Restaurant Kibi Kibi.
