"A sprawling, family-focused all-inclusive where the brand’s “All-Fun Inclusive” concept comes alive: the resort’s rate bundles unlimited access to Grupo Xcaret’s seven theme parks, ferries, and excursions, plus extensive on-property offerings such as multiple infinity pools, coves, rivers, beachfront areas, diverse dining from snack spots to a Michelin-starred option, and a Muluk Spa that integrates Mayan traditions into its treatments—ideal for families seeking activity-rich stays." - Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila is a bilingual travel writer, editor, and content marketer.

"A massive, design-forward property of about 900 rooms that feels surprisingly boutique thanks to plentiful separate hangout spaces and varied grounds designed with stony facades, thick tropical foliage, and a cenote-inspired river (home to the luxe spa). The resort includes ten restaurants, 11 bars, and a kids’ club, and the major family perk is that unlimited, all-inclusive access to all Grupo Xcaret theme parks (with transportation) is included in the room rate — allowing repeated visits for zip-lining, ATV tours, themed shows, and water parks during a stay. Distance to Cancun airport is 41 miles; Wi‑Fi and gratuities are included. Rates start at $872." - Meagan Drillinger Meagan Drillinger Meagan Drillinger left New York City for a life on the road.
