How Much Does Hotel Xcaret Cost? Real Prices for 2026

The short answer: Hotel Xcaret México starts around $450 per night (low season), Hotel Xcaret Arte from $580, and La Casa de la Playa from $1,200. All rates include the All-Fun-Inclusive package, which covers food, drinks, and access to all 9 Grupo Xcaret parks. Peak holiday rates can run $800 to $2,500-plus per night per property.

TL;DR — what you'll actually pay

Property	Low season	High season	Peak holidays
Hotel Xcaret México	$450–700/night	$700–1,100/night	$1,200–1,800/night
Hotel Xcaret Arte	$580–850/night	$850–1,400/night	$1,500–2,100/night
Casa de la Playa	$1,200–1,800/night	$1,800–2,500/night	$2,800–3,500/night
Suite tier upgrades	+$200–500	+$300–700	+$500–1,000+

All rates are per night, double occupancy, including All-Fun-Inclusive (food, drinks, every Grupo Xcaret park). Airport transfers and spa treatments are not included.

What you're actually paying for

Hotel Xcaret prices look high at first glance because they include a lot more than a normal Mexican all-inclusive. The All-Fun-Inclusive bundle covers every Grupo Xcaret park (Xcaret, Xel-Há, Xplor, Xenses, Xenotes, Xoximilco, Xavage, plus Xplor Fuego at night), shuttle transport, day tours like Chichén Itzá, and full food and drink across 10-plus restaurants between México and Arte.

When friends ask why I keep coming back, the answer is the math. A single Xel-Há day pass with food is around $130. Xplor is $150-ish. Xcaret park itself is $120 to $180 depending on the season and bracelet tier. If your group does five park days during a stay, that's $750 per person you didn't pay separately. The hotel premium versus a comparable beach all-inclusive starts to make sense.

I wrote a full breakdown in the All-Fun-Inclusive guide — that's the article to read if you want the line-item breakdown of what's bundled.

Hotel Xcaret México — the value pick

México is the original property and the one I recommend first for most travelers. Standard suite rates run $450 to $700 per night in low season (September, early October, late January, late August), $700 to $1,100 in high season (December outside of Christmas, February, March, April, July), and $1,200 to $1,800 over Christmas, New Year, and Easter week.

You're getting:

• A full suite (no standard "rooms" — they only sell suites)
• Private terrace with a plunge pool or river-pool access
• Daily restocked minibar with full-size bottles
• Access to all four pool zones and the river network
• Full All-Fun-Inclusive

Family suites with bunk rooms run $100 to $250 over standard, depending on configuration. Swim-up suites add $200 to $400. Master suites and the rooftop suites jump $500 to $1,000-plus.

For a deeper look at the rooms themselves, the honest room review covers what holds up and what doesn't.

Hotel Xcaret Arte — the design upgrade

Arte opened in 2021 as the design-forward sister property. It's adults-leaning, all-suite, with a more curated arts and workshops angle. Pricing runs roughly 25 to 35 percent above México for the equivalent room category.

Low season: $580 to $850 per night. High season: $850 to $1,400. Peak holidays: $1,500 to $2,100.

You get the same All-Fun-Inclusive bundle plus access to the 10 Houses (workshops, classes, spa), the rooftop bars I wrote about here, and a quieter overall vibe. If you're choosing between the two, the Arte vs México comparison breaks down who each property is for.

Casa de la Playa — the splurge

Casa de la Playa opened in 2022. 63 suites, adults-only, beachfront, butler service. It's a different category — closer to Aman or Six Senses pricing than to a standard all-inclusive.

Low season: $1,200 to $1,800. High season: $1,800 to $2,500. Peak holidays: $2,800 to $3,500-plus.

That's per night. For a week, you're looking at $10,000 to $25,000 before flights, transfers, or upgrades. The Casa de la Playa luxury review goes into whether it actually delivers on that price.

When prices drop (and when they spike)

The cheapest week I ever booked was the second week of September — $470 a night for a master suite at México. The most expensive was Christmas week three years later — same suite category at $1,650 a night.

Cheapest months in my experience:

• Early September through mid-October (hurricane season)
• Last two weeks of January
• Last two weeks of August (back-to-school dip)
• Early November (after Día de Muertos, before Thanksgiving)

Most expensive:

• December 22 through January 2
• Holy Week / Easter (varies year to year)
• US Spring Break (early March)
• July 4 week
• Día de Muertos (Oct 28 to Nov 4) — increasingly hot

What's not included in the rate

A few things that catch first-timers off guard:

• Airport transfers — $90 to $180 round trip per couple
• Spa treatments — $150 to $400 per treatment
• Premium experiences like SeaTrek, Snuba, dolphin programs — $80 to $200 each
• Photo packages — $200 to $600 (skip them, see the photo packages review)
• Tipping — technically included but absolutely expected, $5 to $10 per dinner, $1 to $2 per drink
• Wedding venue fees — see the wedding packages guide

Plan an extra $50 to $100 per person per day on top of the room rate for a realistic all-in cost.

How to actually book the lowest rate

What's worked for me across five stays:

1. Book direct on the Hotel Xcaret site, not Expedia or Booking.com. They run "stay 4, pay 3" and "stay 5, pay 4" deals direct that don't show up on aggregators.
2. Sign up for their email list a month before booking. They'll send you a 10 to 25 percent off code roughly weekly. Use it.
3. Book 60 to 90 days out for low season, 6 months out for peak. Last-minute deals exist in shoulder season but never around holidays.
4. Call the reservations line, not the website. I've gotten free upgrades and dining credits twice by just asking on the phone after I booked online.
5. Check the low season comparison before locking in dates — the price spread is real.

What I'd do differently

If I were booking my first stay today, I'd do four nights at Hotel Xcaret México in mid-September for around $1,900 all-in (room plus extras), use the All-Fun-Inclusive on three park days, and take one full pool day. That's the trip that gets you the math working in your favor without overcommitting on price.

I'd skip Casa de la Playa for a first stay unless you've already done México and Arte and know you want the upgrade. The jump in price is steep and the parks experience is the same regardless of where you sleep.

What people also ask

Does Hotel Xcaret price match? Not officially, but if you find a lower rate on a third-party site within 48 hours of booking direct, the reservations team will usually adjust. I've had this work once.

Is the All-Fun-Inclusive package the same price as a regular room rate? There is no "regular" rate. Every Hotel Xcaret rate is All-Fun-Inclusive — you can't book a room-only stay. That's part of why the sticker price looks high.

Can you use points or hotel rewards? No. Hotel Xcaret is independently owned and not part of Marriott, Hyatt, Hilton, or any major loyalty program. Cash only (or credit card).

How much are taxes and fees on top of the rate? Roughly 16 percent VAT plus environmental and lodging taxes — call it 18 to 20 percent on top of the published rate. Most direct bookings show the all-in price before you pay.

Is there a deposit? Usually 25 to 50 percent at booking, balance due 30 to 60 days before arrival. Cancellation policy tightens as you get closer to check-in.
