We just got back last week. Stunning resort. Staff was wonderful. We stayed in Casa Artista in an ocean view. Absolutely beautiful. The Mercado was great for breakfast, and most of the restaurants we tried were great as well. Would love to go back tomorrow if I could swing it.
Hi John, it's an amazing place isn't it! Levels above hotels I've stayed at before. And the food was just 🤤! I agree with that...I would like to go back again one day for sure!

@@mishachase5861 Hey I called up the hotel before I left for Mexico and booked most things in over the phone/email. You can wait until you get there too but some things might not be available!
Hi, going in August and I'm excited! Do they require a reservation for transportation to take you back to the airport when your stay is finished? Saw on someone else's video they didn't know that.
Hi Sarah! Ah you'll have a great time! No you don't need to make a reservation just let them know when you are leaving as there is transport going to and from the airport regularly 👍🏽
Hi Judy, thanks and glad you enjoyed them! I booked through hotels.com (third party). I'd recommend using tripadvisor or google to compare prices between different vendors as well as the official site to get the best price!
can't wait for our trip in August - do you know what the offerings are like for a vegan? We have a friend who's vegan and wondering if it's worth it for her. Great video!
Hope you have a great time! There were vegan options from what I can remember. My wife's vegetarian and even if there was nothing veggie on the menu they would make something...so I assume the same principal would apply to your vegan friend 👍🏽 Whilst at Arte we were able to also dine at Hotel Xcaret nextdoor and there's a completely vegan restaurant there so hopefully the same rules will apply to your stay
Hi thanks for the comment. I'm pretty sure you can only stay all inclusive at xcaret hotels. This includes all food, drinks, park entry, x1 park meal per day you go to the parks as well as transport to and from the airport and the parks. A few activities in the park are extra as you'll see in some of my upcoming videos! Hope that helps 👍🏽
@@timelsaesser3513 Hey man! Thanks for subscribing and the support - I appreciate it! I'm not sure which edible pots with jelly you're talking about lol...if you know roughly what time in the video it was I can try figure it out lol 😂
I was at Xcaret Arte last week, and I ate one of those but I forgot the name of them. I was just checking to see if you noticed them on the buffet. We love your videos! Thank you for all you do!
@@timelsaesser3513 Ah hope you had a great time! haha I don't remember having one. Thanks! Appreciate the support - comments like these make me want to make bigger and better videos!
Hi mate, great video......I'm heading there soon with my 2 kids, I'm wondering what is the score with regarding tipping, I'm happy to tip but 1 of them main attractions about all inclusive is the ability to wonder around without needing to carry anything like money or cards. ... What's best for the stuff I do need to buy, like sun lotion etc, can I use my bank cards or will I need proper money money? Thank you.
Hey man! Thanks appreciate it! It isn't a requirement to tip whilst you're there and it isn't really expected. The staff won't treat you any different because if it. Of course they work super hard to make your stay as amazing as possible so I'm sure they will appreciate a tip, but don't feel forced too 👍🏽...pack plenty of essentials like sun lotion, bug spray because if you run out they have some on property but it's expensive! The xcaret hotels and parks will take card but I always carried around some emergency cash just in case 👍🏽
When you show up they will put a $200 hold on the credit card you have on hold (I believe you can put $200 cash if you don’t want a credit card) the bracelet is your room key and technically your credit card so you don’t have to carry cash around because they can charge anything you buy to your room and at checkout you can either put it on the credit card or pay it cash. Hope that makes sense.
I booked Xcaret Arte a few months before we were set to travel! The hotel only opened in July 2021 and because of that and Covid, it was not busy. Hotel Xcaret Mexico (family resort) was a lot busier and availability much more limited. Hope that helps 👍
Hi! The hotel's really accomodating for different dietary requirements, like in the cafe there was a gluten free section 👍🏽 They always asked if you had any allergies in the restaurants too!
@Silvia Hoard Hi! Most restuarants had seafood options...there wasn't a specific seafood only restaurant though. Is for the best time of the year - I went in August and the weather was amazing so probably the summer months, maybe trying to avoid the school holidays if you don't have children so it's less busy in the Xcaret parks. As for the Casa, they're all really nice and all basically the same layout with rooftop pools on the top of most casa blocks 👍🏽
@Silvia Hoard No worries Silvia! Glad they help! I didn't get to choose my casa but I'm sure if you email/call them before and put a preference they'll try to accommodate you 👍🏽
@Silvia Hoard Yep we stayed 1 day at Hotel Xcaret Mexico but because of flight issues/availability/pricing since it was during Covid. Me and Mrs On The Map preferred Arte though for sure!
Hi Terra! So basically there's a nornal a la carte menu so like ramen, spring rolls etc. Then there's a Hibachi grill/teppanyaki where the chef cooks in front of you and does tricks etc so a more interactive vibe 👍🏽
Ours was close to 10, but that was because we elected for a swim up, ocean front suite, with first class flights both ways. Also for 8 days. The average seems in the 7k range for a week

How did you reserve the restaurants and parks? How far in advance should you book?
@@mishachase5861 Hey I called up the hotel before I left for Mexico and booked most things in over the phone/email. You can wait until you get there too but some things might not be available!
@@mishachase5861 I'd book the things as soon as you know you are going
Thanks for this great walk through! Bit of a strange question, do you remember seeing yoga mats in the gym?
No worries man! I can't remember if there were yoga mats in the gym but I'm sure they did yoga classes 🤔

Xcaret Hotel for Millonaires!!. One room for 2 people cost an average of $1,000 per night!!!
I'm not a millionaire though 😂 and I definitely didn't pay $1k/night when I went 🤔
Hi, thanks for such a detailed series of videos! Did you book directly through the hotel’s site or through a third party vendor?
Hi Judy, thanks and glad you enjoyed them! I booked through hotels.com (third party). I'd recommend using tripadvisor or google to compare prices between different vendors as well as the official site to get the best price!
for chino poblano did they bring everything or did you have to order certain things from the menu.
It's a set menu so they bring everything
can't wait for our trip in August - do you know what the offerings are like for a vegan? We have a friend who's vegan and wondering if it's worth it for her. Great video!

How far in advance should you book a Cancun AI resort vacay?

Did they offer many gluten free options? Was it easy to communicate food allergies?
Hi! The hotel's really accomodating for different dietary requirements, like in the cafe there was a gluten free section 👍🏽 They always asked if you had any allergies in the restaurants too!
Forgot the speak easy !
You're right! Probably a good thing as it's good for people to try find it...we spent ages trying to find it 😂
Hotel arte need oceanfront only rooms & do they have seafood ty
Hi! Yep most of the rooms are further inwards just because of how the resort is laid out! Yep they did seafood there! 👍🏽
@Silvia Hoard Hi! Most restuarants had seafood options...there wasn't a specific seafood only restaurant though.

do they ask for a deposit fee when u check in ???
Hey. I'm pretty sure they did but it will be refunded at the end of the your stay as long as you don't trash the room 😂
If you stay at arte, can you access hotel xcaret?
Hey...yep you can! When I was there they also said you can dine at the hotel xcaret restuarants too👍🏽
@@ManpsOnTheMap Awesome!
Do you know the difference between the two menus at Tah-Xido?!
Hi Terra! So basically there's a nornal a la carte menu so like ramen, spring rolls etc. Then there's a Hibachi grill/teppanyaki where the chef cooks in front of you and does tricks etc so a more interactive vibe 👍🏽
@@ManpsOnTheMap thank you!!!
Too expensive this hotel!! Just for millonaires! for one week they asked $9,600!! What???
LOL mans ain't no millionaire and it definitely wasn't $10k for a week...wherever you got quoted that, is charging way too much!
Ours was close to 10, but that was because we elected for a swim up, ocean front suite, with first class flights both ways. Also for 8 days. The average seems in the 7k range for a week
