Grand Xcaret

Grand Xcaret Overview

In a secluded, private cove of powdery sand and azure water, just an hour's drive south of the hustle of Cancun, lies the all-inclusive Occidental Grand Xcaret.

The resort itself is renowned not only as a paradise in itself but also by the eco-archeological park and ancient Mayan grounds on which it stands. A place of staggering natural and historical beauty, one can see here diverse species of tropical butterflies and birds, even jaguars, afterwards perhaps taking a plunge to swim with the dolphins and snorkel through old caves and lagoons laden with gardens beneath their surface. The hotel offers a discounted day pass to this utopian park quite literally on the doorsteps of the resort.

The hotel and its five pools, plus 10 whirlpools, is set amongst lush greenery as palm leaves gently shade you from the Mexican sun. It offers special spa treatments including a beauty salon, solarium and massage therapy for those wanting to relax away the stress.

If you're feeling particularly active, however, the hotel's activity options are second-to-none. The hotel has two tennis courts, and runs archery and mini-golf, while superb full golf courses are just a moment's travel away. As well as this the hotel offers rental and certification on scuba diving equipment for a deeper adventure, or excursions run to the nearby archeological wonderland of Tulum, Chichen Itza or Xel Ha.
