BEFORE THINKING BUYING A MEMBERSHIP FROM THIS COMPANY HOTEL READ THIS EXPERIENCE… 👀👀

Tue Aug 19 2025 14:36:14 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by Samuel D

We have been members since 4 years ago… When we visited the hotels the service and products were great.. Great Food, Great spirits wine and services. Now after 4 years… they have downrated everything. If you want to set up an appointment for dinner they don’t have space for the restaurant you want they sent you to restaurants with less popularity. They keep changing the rules and politics and downrate your membership… Example we used to have a speed pass for the parks attractions… they are gone. The worst thing is that they promise you the best rate price for being member… And there are travel companies as example Viajes Lili which is a serious travel company that they give the same or even price below the one they give as a member. At the beginning we thought they were different from the rest timeshare hotel company but they have fall on the rest. There is no loyalty… The only day they will treat you well is the day they sell you the membership… after that you are one more on the list. 
When we buy the membership there were only 4 levels of memberships now there are 6 and they keep adding… It means they keep devaluating the value of the membership through the time pass… THINK TWICE BEFORE BUYING THIS MEMBERSHIP

Best resort ever 10/10

Tue Aug 19 2025 10:38:50 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by Navigator20597097282

I have stayed in Hotel Xcaret Mexico 1x and Arte 2x and I prefer Arte but both are amazing. The good is always tasty and the drinks are great. No complaints at all-didn’t have a bad meal. The customer service is what takes it. Staff pay attention to small details to make your stay. Keven Canto can be found by the river near the infinity pool and he was great. He helped us secure chairs on the rooftop and had chairs waiting for us at the river. He goes above and beyond and was always in a positive mood. The resort is lush and green.

Best Family Vacations ever!!

Sun Aug 17 2025 18:43:54 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by Juio M

First of all, I would like to thank Fernanda from the Concierge department for all her wonderful job she did for us, I bugged her so much on activities and dinner reservations I needed to reserve and she never disappoint one bit. The customer service provider is amazing. All of their installations are incredible you will probably need more than two weeks to do everything they have to offer. This has been probably my best vacations ever so far. Will definitely come back a few months from now just to experience again.

Hotel Xcaret Arte Encounter

Beautiful hotel, great service, different dining experience and great parks and activities. We went at peak season but did not feel crowded at all (ok except 10-15min wait time to breakfast buffets). Staffs are the best and always tried so hard to make everyone happy.
