For those of you familiar with the multiple Hotels Xcarets (Hotel Xcaret Mexico, Hotel Xcaret Arte, and La Casa de la Playa), you know that once you paid for your resort stay in full you were given access to their “Wishlist” which meant you could make reservations at specialty restaurants, select parks, and select excursions. There evidently has been some very recent changes which will affect their Wishlist policy.
Ventura Park Cancun is, or was, a water park located in the southern part of Cancun’s Hotel Zone. From what I could discover, no definite reason has been given for its closure, but the park has been in existence for many years so it might have closed for renovations.
The number of all-inclusive resorts in Cancun and the Riviera Maya is getting larger every year with the addition of 4-6 new properties all vying for part of the very popular all-inclusive market of vacationers. As a result, resort brands are having to come up with ways to entice such vacationers; one such way is the expansion of what you get for your all-inclusive stay.
While some Tren Maya sections are still being worked on, the section between the Cancun airport and the famous Chichén Itzá ruins is finished and already taking international visitors and locals to this well know destination.
While I’m all into catamaran sailings when on vacation, I do admit this video really tempts me to take a private sailing trip to the beautiful island of Isla Mujeres from Cancun.
Say you’re staying a week at an all-inclusive resort in Cancun’s Hotel Zone…and you realize you are getting bored just laying around poolside, bellying up to the swim-up bar, and eating like there’s no tomorrow. What do you do?
My Instagram friend, Gaspar Michel (known as cancunvacationsecrets on Instagram) kindly wrote me a blog post about what to do when travelers are staying at an all-inclusive resort but want to do something fun and/or adventurous in the Cancun or Riviera Maya areas of Mexico. Since he currently resides in Tulum and has been posting for some time about what to do and how to save money while on vacation in this part of Mexico, I thought a local would be the best source of info about how to have even more fun while vacationing at an all-inclusive property. So, please read on and find out what he thought would be helpful…

The Xenotes Tour by Xcaret is one of the most booked tours out there right now. It is extremely popular with vacationers to the Cancun and Riviera Maya areas and especially more so for those within the age group of 20-40.
Want to experience the best of both a day club and a cenote? Then head to Buuts’ Ha’ Cenote Club. If you want an idea of its location in the Riviera Maya, it’s south of Xel-Há Park and north of Dreams Tulum (about a 15 min. drive north of Tulum).
