#XCARET VS XEL HA FULL#

We ended up staying at Xel-Ha from around 10am to 3:30pm, and never ran out of things to do. Jumping off the 'cliff of courage'! This cliff is 5 meters high, but definitely feels a little higher when you're looking down from the top.Д¬heck out how cool the tower waterslides are! This area is actually the playground, but the light here was too gorgeous to not take photos. You can pre-book a Sea Trek experience at a discount here! As certified SCUBA divers, we didn't enjoy this as much as diving, but it was a fun and interesting 30 minute excursion - and a way for non-divers to be able to experience being under the water without going through the SCUBA process. The helmet creates an air bubble around your head and neck, leaving your face dry and your breathing normal. While we were at Xel-Ha, we decided to try out the underwater Sea Trek - where you can walk on the ocean floor using a helmet delivering oxygen. We also really enjoyed finding and stalking the wildlife around the park. The many shades of aqua blue, crystal-clear water. My best tip is if you want to do any of the bonus activities, schedule them when you arrive early in the day (the one we wanted to do and ran out of time for was the treetop Zip-Bike, so you can get the best available time slots!

Check out the full list of attractions and add-ons here! The Xel-ha park is huge! It is very easy to spend a full day here without getting bored - whether you want to take a bike down the jungle bike path, go for a long walk, relax in the hammocks and lazy river, or get adventurous with cliff jumping, ziplines, and climbing to the top of the tower to take the waterslides all the way down. I kept it pretty simple with barbecue chicken, spicy potato wedges, guacamole, and soft serve ice cream and they were all great.ДЄnd the water here is just unreal! This photo is hardly edited at all - the entire day I could not stop commenting on how stunningly blue the water was - this is a natural lagoon and some of the nicest water I have seen in this part of Mexico.

The constant access to ice cold water was (literally) refreshing, and we visited one of the lunch buffets and were impressed with their selection and the quality of the food available. We loved the grab-and-go bar aspect, and especially that they were all using thick reusable plastic cups and not disposable ones. There are bars and drink stands easily located all around the park, offering water, sodas, as well as cocktails and beer. Sipping margaritas on a floatie in a lazy river? That's a yes for me. This park is truly a playground, no matter what kind of trip you are on - there are tons of kids areas and child-friendly activities if you're with kids, and the all-inclusive entrance fee covers unlimited food and alcoholic drinks, if you're traveling adults-only.

I love waterslides, ziplines, lazy rivers, and any activity in warm, tropical water, so were really excited to spend a day out at Xel-Ha. I'm not much for amusement park rides, but Brandon and I both LOVE a water park.

Looking to get out of the resort and have some fun while on your Mexican vacation? Book your all-inclusive Xel-Ha day here and your Xenotes Tour here. First, for a sun-filled day in the tropical waters of Xel-Ha, and then ziplining, repelling, and kayaking through jungle cenotes on the Xenotes by Xcaret tour. What to do in Cancun? While staying at Xcaret Arte Hotel, we adventured out into the nature of the area on two different full-day adventures with Xcaret Parks and Tours.
