PACKING SUGGESTIONS
From our experience visiting Hotel Xcaret, along with others who have visited, we put together suggestions and things to keep in mind while packing.


Water Shoes
Something similar to these. They have many different styles of water proof foot wear. I suggest water shoes similar to a sneaker but is water resistant. There will be a lot of walking at the resort and in the Parks. You will want to make sure that your shoes are comfortable and able to go from dry or wet easily.


Old Sunglasses
This is recommended so if you lose them, it won’t be a big loss.


Nicer/Shorts/Pants/Shirt


On the The Resort under Dinning page you can see the dress code for the restaurants .




Carry on Bag
In the instance that your room is not available upon arrival, due to the check-in being at 3pm, we suggest that you add the following items to your carry-on bag. Having these items on hand will give you the opportunity to enjoy the hotel while waiting for your room to become available. You’ll also be able to leave your luggage at the concierge while you explore.


-Swimsuit


-Sunscreen


-Change of clothes


TIPS AND TRICKS


Sunscreen
Xcaret requests you use “reef-protection” type sunscreen, such as this. This will help the environment and help preserve and regrow coral reefs.
Avoid octinoxate and oxybenzone—there are many articles online about other types such as Blue Lizard and Banana Boat.


$1/$5 bills – several for tipping at restaurants, bars, room service at your discretion. There is a ATM at the hotel which only allows you to take 250$ or the pesos equivalent of 250$ within a 24 hr period.


Probiotics
It is highly recommended that you can start taking a probiotic at least two weeks prior to your date of travel. This helps in seeding the helpful bacteria in the gut. This, in turn, will optimize immune function and help ensure good health while travelling. However, it is important to continue taking the probiotic throughout the travel.


First Aid Medications
While some may be provided to you, it's best to keep any necessary items below on hand:
Imodium
Pepto
Ibuprofen/Advil/Tylenol/Asprin
