-Bring plenty of sunscreen as it is pricey to buy it at the resort.
-In addition, bring plenty of bug spray/ bug repellent too! November is not known to be a very buggy time of year but again, we are in the jungle & it will be expensive at the resort. So better to be safe than sorry!
-Water Shoes!!! This beautiful resort is surrounded by natural rivers, cenotes and beaches that are perfect for exploring. Water shoes are a must to be comfortable and safe while enjoying all of the aquatic activities! Not to mention the many excursions and parks nearby that are INCLUDED in your stay, where you will need water shoes too!
- Not a must-have, but goggles/ snorkeling equipment can be very useful around this property!
Cancun International Airport is one of Mexicos busiest airports. It is considered to be a main hub for travelers heading to the east coast of Mexico. This airport is about 50-55 minutes from Hotel Xcaret Mexico. A shuttle arrives about every 30 minutes to pick up travelers specifically for Hotel Xcaret Mexico. There is a special area for Hotel Xcaret Mexico guests to wait and grab a drink before the shuttle arrives.
Tulum International Airport is a brand new and much smaller airport. It is located in the more southern region near Tulum. We traveled to this airport this past summer, and it was generally empty. Customs took less than 10 minutes when arriving, and security took 5 minutes when leaving Mexico. Obviously, this could vary based on the time of year traveled. This airport is about 1 hour and 15 minutes from Hotel Xcaret Mexico. IF YOU CHOOSE THIS AIRPORT YOU MUST CONTACT THE RESORT TO SET UP YOUR TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM THE AIRPORT. It’s still included! Just a newer airport without the bus transportation!
Your flights are NOT included in your stay and must be booked by you!
However, your transportation to and from the airport to the hotel IS included. These are the two airport options and up to you which one you want to fly in and out of!
