Riviera Maya, Cancun
Star rating
The hotel
Hotel Xcaret Arte brings contemporary Mexican art, Caribbean colour and all-inclusive Riviera Maya ease together in one adults-only beachfront stay. Set between the Caribbean Sea and the Mayan jungle, this 900-suite resort is built around six Casas, each celebrating a different creative expression, from weaving and pottery to dance and painting. The All-Fun Inclusive™ concept is the big headline here, with food and drink, artistic workshops, airport transfers, park transfers and unlimited access to Grupo Xcaret parks included. Dining is a proper event too, with chef-led Mexican, Japanese, plant-based and surf-and-turf experiences, plus rooftop bars, wet bars and coffee spots for those “just one more” holiday moments. For slower days, Muluk Spa brings natural rock formations, jungle paths, hydrotherapy and ancestral rituals into the mix, while the beachfront setting keeps the Caribbean nicely close. Best suited to adults and young adults aged 16+, it’s a creative, culture-rich escape with plenty of polish.
