Overview
Why we recommend Hotel Xcaret Arte
Opened in July 2021, Hotel Xcaret Arte is Grupo Xcaret's adults-only hotel and a tribute to Mexico's artists and craft traditions. Its 900 suites are grouped into Casas, each with its own theme and workshop — textiles, painting, pottery, Latin dance — on the beach beside Hotel Xcaret México, framed by an emerald river.
A collective of Mexican chefs leads the kitchens, including Le Chique, whose tasting menu holds one MICHELIN Star in the 2026 guide (at extra cost). The All-Fun Inclusive plan also covers unlimited visits to parks such as Xcaret, Xel-Há and Xplor, plus ferries to Isla Mujeres and Cozumel.
