Top Cenote Santa Cruz Hotel Reviews

Hotel Xcaret Arte - All Parks / All Fun Inclusive, Adults Only - All inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Fridge did not work and we informed staff but never repaired"

Occidental at Xcaret Destination - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Todo estuvo muy bueno Lo más hermoso fue tanta veneración y los animalitos sueltos por el área"

Hotel Riu Palace Riviera Maya - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Great resort experience. The variety of meals was excellent. They also provide live entertainment. The local tours were available and amazing."

Hotel Xcaret Mexico - All Parks / All Fun Inclusive - All inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Xcaret was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! We came to celebrate my son’s 10th birthday, and overall, it was such a memorable experience. The resort is HUGE with so much to see and do, and honestly, we weren’t able to experience everything. But what we did experience was breathtaking. The food was great, the amenities were amazing, and there is truly something for everyone. There were a few things that unfortunately left a bad taste in my mouth. Since this trip was specifically for my son’s 10th birthday, I asked about a birthday cake and/or decorations. I wasn’t expecting anything extravagant and was even willing to pay if it wasn’t complimentary. I mentioned that we were celebrating his birthday when we checked in, but nothing was offered or explained. On his actual birthday, I called to ask again about a cake, and still nothing really came of it. The following day, I called again and asked if we could get a cake, and we were told to just order a dessert through room service. We were given two empty piñatas, which was basically the only birthday acknowledgment we received. Thankfully, I packed a few little decorations for the room because I wanted him to feel special regardless. And honestly, I’m glad I did! Another issue was the lack of instructions. After we declined an upgrade, we weren’t given any information about how restaurant reservations worked or how to navigate the resort. It was basically like, “Okay, move along.” The resort is SO huge that we didn’t even"

Hotel Riu Tequila - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"We just spent 7 unforgettable days at the Riu Tequila, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. As first-timers to an all-inclusive resort, we were a bit hesitant and didn’t want to take any chances on a place we might not enjoy. But honestly, it turned out to be one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome—their warmth and attentiveness truly set the tone for the week. The property itself is gorgeous, impeccably maintained, and surrounded by lush greenery and wildlife that make it feel like a true tropical oasis. We had plenty of choices when it came to meals, with a fantastic variety of food available throughout our stay. If there is one minor area for improvement, it would be the desserts; while there were plenty of options to choose from, elevating the quality of the sweet treats would make the dining experience a 10 out of 10 across the board. Otherwise, we were never short of things to do. The daily activities and evening entertainment were an absolute blast, keeping us smiling, laughing, and thoroughly entertained the entire trip. Great staff, great entertainment, and a property that exceeds expectations. We came home relaxed, happy, and already dreaming of our next trip back!"

La Casa de la Playa by Xcaret-All Inclusive, Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing pool and beach. Love how small and quiet the property is"

La Hacienda Hotel, at Xcaret

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful quiet getaway just 15 minutes from Playa del Carmen. We had a lovely time as a family of 4 and will definitely come back."

Palmaïa-The House of AïA: All Inclusive Wellness Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Wow! Easily the best resort we have stayed at. I am not Vegan but the best part of this trip was definitely the food. The all-inclusive is the best deal around by far. There are plenty of non-vegan options but honestly I mostly ate the vegan versions. Everything was top-shelf. Charlies Vegan Tacos were a highlight. And we actually lost some weight while we were there since its so healthy. The service was incredible. Everywhere we went we were greeted with smiles and hellos. We got to know by name many of the staff. The Pools are about the best I have seen and the beach (when there is not seaweed) is incredible. And they keep it cleaner than any other beach around. Every time we ventured out to try something different we came back to the hotel because it was just better. The free classes like Yoga were amazing as well. I feel this is a secret that will soon be out. But thank you to all the staff who were part of this experience."

Stone House with Pool and large Garden, ideal for families

10/10 Excellent

"This property is a must for couples with kids and close to all the attractions. Carlos, the owner is a great host and rolls out the carpet for you. The pictures don’t do justice for this property, you have to experience it in person to enjoy its unique look and feel. The pool is great and the downstairs master bedroom was spectacular. All rooms in this house are decorated with Mexican flare. We will come back and stay in the future, for sure. Thank you Carlos for sharing your home!"
