We've been to three Xcaret parks. Xcaret, Xel Ha and Xenses.
Of them, this was very likely the best and I think they do a poor job marketing it.
So here is what it is...
First, it's a small park with very specific guided experiences that are meant to create a sense of wonder, awe, and fun.
No real thrill rides here but everything is thrilling.
The center of the park is the hub of everything. Everything starts and ends at the hub. My family and I spent 15 minutes playing in the bathroom because it was so much fun (there are fun things to do in there. Really!)
There is what we call the dry side of the park... This is where the sensitorium is. A completely in the dark sensory experience. We all loved it.
Change into swim suits and put on your water shoes before you head to the heart beat room and on to the wet side of the park.
Here you'll experience gravity defying pueblo village, the water slide, bird flight, the mud bath and more.
Some advice...
On the wet side you're encouraged to remove your shoes. They don't mean water shoes! Keep those on, you'll be doing a lot of walking!
The water slide promises a "Surprise" at the bottom and our whole family hated it. They send you down a body slide into the pitch black and drop you into a 6 foot deep pool.
The problem is, you can't see it coming so you can hold your breath. Basically the surprise is drowning.
Shocked that they have this experience.
Other than that, everything else is fantastic.
The food was good, we got the hotdogs, we bought souvenirs, and generally really enjoyed ourselves!
We would definitely come back!
Oh, and DEFINITELY get the photo pass. It's one of the big attractions!
