Xcaret Packages (Flight + Hotel)

Okay so this review would have been 5 star if it wasn’t for a few eye sore and moody front desk staff. When my girlfriend and I arrived we went to front desk to inform my girlfriend is joining me. I booked a beachfront view room with king bed. The staff quickly charged me $50 for each night to add my girlfriend. I said okay so what’s included with my stay since I’m paying an additional $50. The staff responded firm and annoyed saying nothing. We didn’t ask for additional towels or pillows. Besides the pools there was no other amenities to use. You had to pay for everything which I’m okay with but didn’t see the justification of an additional $50 a night. My room bathroom was outdated, rusted bathroom fixtures and with a hairdryer defect. I was not going to have the small things affect my stay. Moving on, there was construction outside near the pool which was an eye sore. Now let’s talk the positive side of my stay. Pool staff and cleaning staff were very helpful and hospitable. They made my girlfriend and I have an amazing time with their service. We had breakfast one time at the hotel. You can get a much better experience at a restaurant near the hotel. We had an amazing oceanfront view and enjoyed the sunrise from our patio. Comfortable beach setting by the hotel beach area. The hotel is very close to 2 good restaurants. We enjoyed breakfast and dinner at Capri. Lunches we enjoyed at The Surfin Burrito.

great staff and food/drink

General cleaning and staff were great. Food was limited. The app they require you to use for reservations doesnt work. According to some staff a lot got moved to the GR solaris from royal solaris. Seems like they dont really care about a lot of the functions at royal solaris anymore.

Guys don’t do it! There are far better hotels out there. Maybe we came at a bad time. But their buffet was down for remodeling, the servings of food they served were super tiny and they would get mad if you wanted like 3 or 4 more plates. The kids pool was very dirty with algae and debris. The food selection was not the best. As a family that likes to eat fresh on the beach, they didn’t have many varieties of fruits and vegetables. I don’t normally leave poor reviews I think on a personal level, we had fun because it’s all an individual perspective, we wake up and are thankful and it’s great. But having stayed at other hotels, this one I would not recommend. Their staff was not on the same page about things, one would tell us we can get late check out and when the day was coming up and we want to ask apparently they didn’t want to honor it. The entertainment staff never played volleyball after I asked every day for a week. Overall would recommend you check other options ! Trust me ! And the beach was really rough! High waves which I didn’t mind but rough for small kids. But there were some great people nonetheless! Jose from the pool was amazing, Manuel from the dining was excellent. Yameli from dining was outstanding. I expected more for the money I paid. Disappointed and won’t be coming back
