This place is amazing and is next level. They couldn't make a dirty monkey. But one restaurant Arenal actually took the time to get the ingredients to make the drink. It was amazing

Arte is a step up from Xcaret's slightly older Mexico hotel next door, but the real benefits here are a quieter resort (adults only) and some exclusive beach access. Much like Xcaret Mexico, access to all of Xcaret's parks free of charge is their greatest value.If you have a choice between the two hotels, it's definitely a better experience at Arte. There are rooftop pools for each casa, which are also incredibly convenient. Service was top notch.Almost everything Xcaret touches turns to gold. I hope the quality continues -- we've been to the hotels several times now, and will be going back.Special mentions to Jorge in Casa Diseño who got us a room upgrade, Teresa at the rooftop pool there, and Carime at Casa Fuego's Fuego restaurant who is always an absolute pleasure to chat with.Rooms are 4/5 only because some don't get quite cold enough for us, and the beds are mediocre. Love the technology in the rooms however.

My husband and I were here for our 1 year anniversary. The room was amazing. The food is some of the best authentic Mexican cuisine that he has ever tasted. The staff was extremely helpful and accommodating.We took a tour to Chechen Isa during our stay. The tour guides were very friendly, knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with for 12 hours.The only downside is that it is an hour drive to the airport. However they do give free transportation to and from.

I’m not even sure where to start…however, I was extremely let down by Hotel Xcaret Arte. I do realize that everyone’s expectations are different but I’m so amazed at the number of positive reviews. My husband and I stayed in the Artistas building with an ocean view, swim up suite on the third floor. I want to start by saying we tipped very well and tipped pretty much anyone we came in contact with. Although, we did NOT leave a generous tip at the end as we had planned due to the lack of good service.Our butler, Emer, started off amazing but quickly fell flat like his counterpart Martin who wasn’t of much help from the very beginning. The communication between butlers seemed to be non existent making it hard to make “successful” requests depending on who was on duty. Please keep in mind our requests were extremely reasonable and included escorting us to dinner on two occasions (butler arrived late on one occasion), two requests for bubble baths (butler arrived after we already returned from dinner to complete the request on one occasion), assistance with placing room service orders (breakfast for our final morning was never placed according to room service). Turn down service was only provided on two of our four nights and our room was never actually cleaned properly. Just fresh towels and sometimes linen when they actually came.The lack of attentiveness and attention to detail was sorely missed. I felt as if they needed to be prompted on most occasions and even then they did not deliver. I will never go back! There are better luxury options available such as Four Seasons, Sofitel, Conrad or similar hotel chains. This is simply my opinion.As for the property, the hotel itself is absolutely stunning. The layout is a bit poorly constructed and quite a bit of walking is required, no golf carts or other forms of transportation throughout the resort. I do want to give a shout out to one of the gentlemen at the Artistas Rooftop pool as he was extremely attentive and helpful. The ceviche and chips and guacamole are simply amazing!! There is construction work going on in the wee hours of the morning, so if you are a light sleeper like me be prepared to hear hammering at the worst possible times. The walls are also extremely thin. You can hear everything and everyone out in the hallway. The busses to and from the parks are overcrowded and not really what I expected.Again for 1k or more a night, I feel we could have or shall I say should have had a much better experience. If you are truly looking for luxury, be sure to explore all of your options.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Xcaret Art Mexico hotel, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The hotel itself is a work of art, with beautiful architecture and design that incorporates elements of Mexican culture.The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, and they went out of their way to make sure we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The rooms were spacious and clean, with modern amenities and comfortable beds.One of the highlights of our stay was the on-site art museum, which featured incredible pieces from some of the most talented artists in Mexico. The museum was well-curated and offered a unique glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the country.The hotel also offered a range of activities and amenities, including a spa, multiple swimming pools, and several restaurants serving delicious food.Overall, I would highly recommend the Xcaret Art Mexico hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious and culturally rich vacation. The combination of stunning architecture, world-class art, and excellent service make it an unforgettable experience.

Such a unique resort with the rivers and coves winding through the property and out to the beach! Stayed for 5 nights and didn’t even get to see/do everything the resort has to offer so hope to go back someday!Best food I’ve ever had at a resort, even the main buffet was exceptionally good and wide variety of options daily! They ask at every meal if you have any food allergies. There were tons of top shelf drink options at all the bars and restaurants.The pools were a perfectly warm temperature even at the end of November. The beach towels were huge and soft and easy to find new ones around the pools and beach. Never a lack of seating options anywhere.We visited two of the Xcaret parks that are included in the all-inclusive rate and wish we had more time to go to others! Loved that transportation to/from the airport and all the parks was included as well.The service at the resort was the absolute best we’ve ever experienced - the employees seemed genuinely happy and friendly and always asking if they can get you anything. Highly recommending this resort to friends and family!

I really liked this resort. It is tastefully decorated and a lot of attentions are given to little details. The room is spacious and clean. The food at restaurants are sophisticated and delicious. Services are excellent and activities are well managed. The views are great and all inclusive fun is awesome! I would not hesitate to give it 5 star and want to come back again until my boy friend became very sick on the third day with food poisoning. It was difficult to see him suffering and couldn’t enjoy the activities and food we have paid top dollar for. He is a very healthy man and has hardly gotten sick during our 8 years together. This is the sickest I saw him. Fortunately there is a doctor stationed in the resort (you have to paid $100 for consultation and extra for medication). With two more nights left, I hope he would recover soon. Now I am not sure whether I want to come back here. Too bad because I have really liked this resort.

My husband and I stayed at Hotel Xcaret Arte in November 2021 and had an amazing experience. This is a very nice adult-only all-inclusive resort. The property was absolutely gorgeous! The amenities, food, drinks, service, etc. were all top notch! We loved being right on the ocean and the river. The location and the round-trip transfers to and from the Xcaret parks were very convenient. The only constructive feedback I would provide is that there are no hot tubs on the property, which was disappointing (only hot tub was inside of the Spa, which you can only use when you book Spa services). I would highly recommend Hotel Xcaret Arte!

Our honeymoon was nothing short of excellent...thanks to Xcaret Arte! We felt welcomed as soon as we stepped off the shuttle. I cannot say enough about Sergio. He greeted us upon arrival and he made sure that we wanted for nothing. Our luggage was taken my mistake at the airport and he made sure we received it. We saw him everyday of our stay and he was always ready to assist in any way he could. It was a very relaxing yet fun experience and I look forward to going back next year!!

We had an absolutely amazing trip, however there was one outstanding moment I wanted to share with you. When we had dinner at Encanta our server was Antonio and he was amazing. I also greatly appreciated him pulling other staff members over to try explaining our dish in English. I love the teamwork the manager Ramon has built in this restaurant. And we made sure to let Ramon know how much we appreciated all the work they had put into this restaurant. We also went back the following night to have some beverages at the bar. We were lucky enough to have the head bartender, Antonio (different Antonio from our server), he blew us away with some of the tastiest drinks. If you get the chance to try Antonio’s white Bloody Mary do it! Don’t let the name scare you away it doesn’t have any tomato juice but is garnished with a sliced cherry tomato. I cannot give this restaurant and our experience here enough props!

Everything about our stay impressed us! From the moment we arrived! this is a destination vacation to enjoy, explore, and immerse your self. There is soo much to see and do! It is really exciting to explore all this amazing and expansive resort has to offer. From the hidden speakeasy, yes it is hidden and fun to actually find. To the many, many pools and restaurants! I have to say even after researching and reading this resort exceeded my expectations on all fronts. The food at Mercado, the Sunday brunch here is amazing. The other restaurants are equally impressive chic and romantic. Be sure to make reservations to some! You will no go unimpressed i assure you! Five stars on Everything. Thanks! And We will be Back!

This was our second trip to an all inclusive resort in the Cancun area. The service was good, the restaurants were pretty good and the beach was great. The last hotel we stayed at had a beach covered in so much seaweed they had tractors running up and down the beach every 10 to 15 minutes to clean it up, not a problem 8/21.The transportation to and from the airport and activities was reliable and in good maintenance. All the parks Xcaret owns are included!The only downside was half the restaurants require reservations and formal wear and communication wasn't very great regarding what, when, and how things were available. Overall, I would recommend staying at Hotel Xcaret Arte. I wish you could have full access to the original Hotel Xcaret Mexico next door,maybe that will come in the future. There is still some non-intrusive construction going on and another restaurant should be open soon.
