Staying at an all-inclusive resort in Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula aligns with all types of traveler interests: honeymooners taking a much-needed post wedding break, families escaping the thralls of routine, friends reuniting in paradise and everyone in between.

There’s so much to look forward to on property. Whether visitors want to indulge in endless amounts of food and have desert with every meal or book that well-deserved spa appointment and take in the views while lounging by the pool, an all-inclusive hotel stay is the ticket for true relaxation. And the ideal complement to a relaxing resort stay is a day of exploring.

Help take your clients’ vacations to the next level and experience Mexico through a deeper lens by encouraging them to book one of Grupo Xcaret’s many excursions. With a host of options available, all bookable through Amstar, there’s an experience for every type of traveler.

The Parks That Define the Destination

Acting as a doorway to all of Mexico’s beauty, Xcaret is an ideal option for visitors of all ages. Guests get instant access to more than 50 natural and cultural attractions with their admission, and they might wonder if one day is even enough to experience it all. The day might include a swim through underground rivers, a stroll through a butterfly pavilion and an evening spent taking in the largest show in Mexico: Xcaret México Espectacular.

If water is the name of the game, a day at Xel – Há might be the perfect fit for your clients. This natural waterpark invites visitors to snorkel across more than 20 acres of crystal-clear water. They can also choose to venture up a lighthouse, take in the surrounding views and slide down its waterslide.

When guests feel the tug of adventure, they can look no further than Xplor. Here the jungle transforms into a setting for zip-lines, underground caverns and amphibious trails. It’s also home to Toboganxote, the world’s first five-in-one waterslide. And those looking to participate in all this, only under the cover of the evening, can choose Xplor Fuego.

The Tours That Tell the Story

With a Xenotes tour, visitors can experience four types of cenotes: a cavern cenote, an ancient cenote, a semi-open cenote and a completely open cenote. This is a guided tour, and in addition to swimming through and taking in the stillness of the surroundings, activities like rappelling, zip lining and kayaking are also available.

Travelers who are in search of a touch of history in their vacation can choose a Xichen or Tulum tour. These options take travelers to the most important archaeological sites in the area, including Chichén Itzá. The tours round out the day with visits to villages, cenotes, restaurants or parks.

Groupo Xcaret can also get explorers out on the water through its Xcaret Ferry, Xcaret Catamaran and Xcaret Yachts. Depending on the option, guests can choose to snorkel, visit an exclusive beach club or simply take in the scenic surrounding views.

This is just a taste of what your clients can choose from when booking Grupo Xcaret’s parks or tours. To learn more, visit descubregrupoxcaret.com, and to book, visit the Amstar brand showcase on VAX VacationAccess: vaxvacationaccess.com/suppliers/amstar-dmc.
