This place is amazing. So much to do and see, didn’t have enough time to do it all. Our rep advised us to get this ticket without transfer as it was a lot cheaper to do it without transfers and just pay for a taxi as we were staying nearby. The show afterwards is incredible aswell. Highly recommend this place. If you do the underground river, defiantly recommend putting you need into their bags which they will then transfer to the end of the river for you. As it’s a long walk back to the start.

The park is excellent, loads to do there. We visited the aquarium, avery, butterfly pavilion, didn't manage to see the jaguars but did see a monkey and the horses. The show in the night was really good. Our only issue was the showers and changing area, there wasn't enough changing rooms and people were taking far too long.

The trip didn’t include transfers to and from the park, unlike what was being offered at the resort by Lomas for the same cost. Whilst the Park was amazing I wouldn’t recommend buying this experience from TUI unless you want to spend more money on a private transfer.

The park is massive, lots of activities to do and interesting exhibitions. The park is pricey so bare in mind, it is worth buying the plus ticket to get a free snorkeling and lunch. Food was very good and had lots to offer.

Had a really good time but people need to be aware that once you have paid the entrance fees ( which in my opinion are quite expensive) you have to pay for everything once inside. I don’t really understand what the entrance fee gets you. The overall cost for our day was £700 and there was just 2 of us so be aware when booking

Es war ein toller Tag und wir haben sehr viel erlebt...vor allem sind die Rivers ein Highlight und bei den Temperaturen ein Muß. Viele Attraktionen kosten extra, das ist schade. Kann dadurch sehr teuer werden. Aber für uns war es ein toller Tag ohne zugebuchte Extras .

The place is fab for kids and adults alike. We stayed for the show at the end which was simply amazing (even after the heavens opened and we were sat in wet clothes haha). We didn't have transfers included which I was happy with as from Playacar it was about 310mxn each way and we could leave without having to wait for other passengers. We did add on the dolphin experience when we arrived as it was cheaper. Great day out and loads to see and do without paying for extras.

Paikka varsinainen elämys ja vaatisi vähintään pari päivää kiertää koko alue. Kaikkea nähtävää niin lapsille kuin vanhuksillekin ja mukavaa päästä välillä mereen pulikoimasn. Liikuntaesteisille ei enää ollut mainostettuja sähkömopoja tarjolla, ainoastaan vuokrattavia pyörätuoleja. Suht hyvin silläkin pääsi eri kohteisiin. Yllättävän paljon henkilökuntaa, jonka englanninkielen taito minimaalinen. Hinnat kaikkinensa korkeat ja tuli rahastuksen meininki, kuten vastaavissa paikoissa yleensäkin.

It's not a cheap place to go, the activities are good but overpriced, and it's a very long day, we could leave at 4 or after the show at 9:30pm, 4pm is too early and the show is way too long and drawn out

We booked the tickets without transport and a guide. We got a taxi from our resort (about $30US) which gave us more flexibility for start and finish of our day. The cenote swim was great and the park is clean and has much to see. Some of the additional activities are a bit pricey but if you don't do these you can still have a good day. Our tickets included lunch which was a buffet of great quality and quantity of choice. The show and the end of the day was just superb. Taxi home was easy to get.

Het is een schitterend ruim park, waar veel verschillende dieren en attracties zijn, een echte aanrader is het zwemmen in de ondergrondse rivier, voor mensen die slecht te been zijn prima te doen er zijn zelfs rolstoelen en scootmobiels te huur. Alom een top park.

Ticket only price was cheaper than booking direct and booking with transfer. Recommend going earlier to xcaret as it is a whole day experience! Buffet prices is 40 dollars in resort so better upgrade if you are planning to eat.

Queues for food halls were horrendous, didn’t manage to get any food at all. Changing rooms stunk of urine, river full of sea weed.

Zeker aan te raden. Vroeg vertrekken zodat je het hele park kan bezichtigen. Transfer was niet inbegrepen dus hebben we een taxi genomen. (250peso heen en 310peso terug) Savonds is er nog een show die zeker de moeite waard is. In het park zelf kon je een ‘diner’ boeken met 7 gangen. Dit was iets van een €50. Tijdens de show krijg je dan 7 gerechtjes voorgeschoteld.
