Xel-Há Park

This was a great experience for our family. There’s something to do for everyone. All-​inclusive food and open bar was a hit. Can’t wait to visit again.

Beautiful place. 89 $ per person including food/​drinks/​equipment. Pretty reasonable. Had a blast will go back.

In my opinion this is the biggest attraction in Cancun. This was a two hour ride from our hotel; we slept most of the ride. In addition for it being one of the biggest attraction parks it’s also the priciest. The water park is humungous. I wanted to do things in order so we would miss out on anything. We did the dolphin tour and its extra $ I thought I was going to have so much fun but I was honestly scared. Ugh not even the little kids next to me. I didn’t enjoy this as much but at least I did it. The next thing we did was «fish therapy» where little fish nibble on your skin, it’s supposed to eat the dead skin. It felt a little weird and tickles and this was also additional $. We then decided to go on the lake/​river snorkeling and on the donuts. It’s so huge where it takes all day to go around the park. They have things to in between: cliff jumping, huge slide that goes into the river, swings, bridge. They also have a cenote and a secret cave that I highly recommend you see you just have to hike. Also they have breakfast, lunch, dinner buffet included with beverages and alcoholic beverages.

Such a fun place to go to! We rode bicycles, intertubed down a river, and snorkeled in a protected ocean bay (protected in the sense of no predators can get in, and their fish could not get out either). The margarita we had at the restaurant was the best margarita I had in Mexico. The food was really good too. I had my feet cleaned by therapy fish which was a bizarre experience that I always wanted to try and never expected to find in this place. It was a lot of fun. I would go back here. They have other things like manatee or dolphin encounters for extra money, but there was enough to do outside of this without ever getting bored or paying extra money.

We had a great time at Xel-​ha. Everything was well organized. The food was good, I’m definitely coming back. The food was delicious and the best part was open bar, absolutely worth the money! I recommend this place for sure.

Booked this park to experience with my family. This park has snorkeling, zip lining, tubing, and and biking. Additional activities for a charge you can swim with the Dolphins, Manatees, scuba and ride a air bike thru the jungle. You can snorkel for hours and hours and there are tons of fish to see.
Clean facilities and it’s all inclusive so drinks and food are included. I was a little shocked that the food at the buffet was that good, a lot to choose from and some Mexican specialities.

We had a great time here at Xel-​Ha. This is an all day activity. Make sure to bring biodegradable sun block and biodegradable bug spray. Bring a water camera since you are going to spend most of your time in the water. They supply towels and a locker. It was all you can eat food and drinks. You can pay extra to swim with the dolphins and other activities but we didn’t do that. We spent most of the day in the water. We started at one end of the river then you just float toward the other side. Along the way there are places you can climb up and jump off the cliff. You can also Test your balance with the Trepachanga and walk over the river between two ropes and the zip lining was so much fun. There are so many activities to do in the water, it was just amazing. After a few hours of fun we got out ate some good food then applied bug spray & sun block and went walking around the jungle area then back to the water for more fun. The water was so refreshing. Just remember to keep applying sun block so you don’t’ end up with sunburned shoulders and face.

We really wanted to like this place since is was so expensive and looked pretty cool, we did not. I found it to be super expensive and average at best. The snorkeling was murky and we didn’t see a lot of fish.
We felt it to be a whole lot of nothing. If your going to spend your money on a «theme park» in Mexico, head to Explor instead… THAT park was fun.

Es de los parques más bellos en México, si estás en la Riviera Maya no pierdas la oportunidad de visitarlo, en serio es un lugar hermoso muy recomendable, te sorprenderás de su belleza natural, y el agua cristalina; y la infinidad de peces y otras especies marinas.
Te sorprenderás en tu visita, vas a quedar enamorado del lugar, podrás nadar en toda la caleta, también pasar por el río en una llanta, usar la tirolesa, la trepachanga, la salpichanga y para los más valientes unos clavados. También hay una área de juegos para niños. Es magnífico para la familia.
El buffet no se queda atrás, tiene 3 tipos de restaurantes donde podrás encontrar de todo y súper súper rico, en verdad hay mucha variedad de comida, vas a tener de donde escoger.
En fin Xel-​ha es una experiencia maravillosa.

Huge water park! All inclusive food and drink. So much to do here. You can view the reef and do lot of water ride and attraction. It is an all day event. Just make sure you don’t go on the rainy season.

Came here twice; first time on a combined trip to Coba. We were sorry because that didn’t leave us much time to spend at Xel-​Há and we rushed around. So on our second trip to México, we returned to Xel-​Há on our own and spent the entire day there, mostly in the water. So much fun! What a great place and worth every penny. We didn’t do any of the additional stuff that you have to pay more for — there was enough to do and see to keep us busy without adding on! BTW, don’t try to sneak in your own sunblock that is not organic — buy some or just use the small sample that they kindly give you. It’s probably enough to get you through the day.

Just about an all inclusive park in Mexico!
They’ve got swimming, exploring, tubing, cliff jumping, kayaking, bikinis, scuba, snorkeling, water caves, you name it.
I liked the end where I grabbed a few cocktails and napped in the hammocks! Man, that was nothing sort of paradise!
It’s quite a long bus ride from the cancun strip and it’s an all day experience. You’ll need time and money, but it’s a fun time!

I travelled here with my boyfriend (25), 2 younger brothers (19 & 13) and parents. We all had a blast. We spent most of our time snorkeling, and then afterwards we walked around the whole park through all of the trails. This place is absolutely beutiful, and there is so much to see when you are snorkeling. I would definitely recommend this excursion to everyone!!!
Visited March 2013

This was an expensive excursion and I do wish it was less expensive. It really sucks how bad the CAD is to the USD right now, however, the is one seriously amazing park! Which is why no one in my group was at all upset at the cost of this place.
We got the all inclusive tickets, which means we can eat and drink however much we would like. It is definitely worthwhile to do the all inclusive (it also had the cost of transportation included in our tickets). We didn’t really drink much as it was a hot day and we were spending a lot of time being active in the water and under the sun. There’s so much to do and see here.
There’s a lot of wildlife as this is an eco park. There’s ziplining, snorkelling, cliff jumping, lazy rivers, and obstacle courses along with add-​on activities such as swimming with dolphins, which required extra payment. You can definitely spend a whole day here and not get bored with or without the add-​on activities. And if you’ve never experienced anything like this before, and are used to the chlorinated water parks of the USA or Canada, then this should be on your list of things to check out.
Another thing is they push for organic sunscreen and bug spray here. It’s fairly decent pricing if you don’t have any of your own and need to buy some. I would suggest that you come prepared with your own simply because all of the excursion places push for the organic stuff. It is an eco-​park after all, and you should be respectful of protecting the environment you are enjoying.

Me encanta ese lugar, es muy hermoso. Perfecto para disfrutar todo un día en compañía de tu familia y amigos. Les recomiendo que vayan para que salgan de su rutina diaria y conozcan ese maravilloso lugar.

This was recommended to us by our hotel. We had such a fun time. We had our 1.5 year old with us and he was free (it’s free for either under 2 or 3). $ 89 for all you can drink and eat. They have bars and restaurants scattered all over the property.
Lazy river, jumping off cliffs, swinging from ropes into the water, tight roping in the water all included; lots of extra add ons such as massage.
Def recommend!

We have been to many parks Disney, Six Flags, Universal. This was the best fit we thought for our kids, 13, 11, 7. Lots of great things to see and do. Food was ok but good for a buffet style. Drinks included. We had two full meals over the course of the day. Which would be a 150 dollar value if we were at restaurants. Pretty adventurous compared to United States. Kids love the zip line and cliff diving. Snorkeling was also interesting. We didn’t do any extra we were headed to the zip bike but it closed before we got there. It was the highlight of the trip for the kids. When you consider the cost of the food it is a great value. Clean, fun, well managed. I looked at all the transport options the bus with the trip was 35 per person. Most of the other transport options were about 140 for our family of 5. So I rented a car by our hotel. The last car I rented in Mexico was a nightmare but this time it was perfect and easy. So with the car and 10 dollars in gas I saved close to 100 dollars in transportation.

Good fun for all willing to get wet.
Zip line and snorkeling were a hit.
Didn’t pay extra for any of the experiences. But you could still see the stingrays, dolphins and manatees.
The Mexican buffet easy pretty impressive. They had some great dishes and chopped habaneros!
We did this as a combined trip to Tulum in the morning with the park for lunch and afternoon. It was more than enough for Tulum. The park time was also fine but I can see spending more time here, too, then just an afternoon.
Tip
Use the flippers for your hands when you float down the lazy river.

idk wether if this place was good before, now it isn’t (at least for me).
Too expensive 90 $ all inclusive for a limited activities and the worst food, requires addtional fee 50 $ +

Sin lugar a dudas uno de los Paqrques Naturales espectaculares de la Península, uno de mis favoritos, pues el servicio, las instalaciones, mi delirio la comida son geniales y de alta calidad, el equipo que te prestan y regalan muy bien cuidado y obviamente nosotros tenemos un compromiso con la naturaleza de cuidar lo que nos ofrece.
Si bien los precios son altos valen la pena, te diviertes con tus amigos, familia, pareja, en los ríos, el puente colgante, las tirolesas, las llantas flotantes, los bike zip, si eres fan de los delfines tambien puedes disfrutar con costo adicional y previa reserva el Nado con Delfines, un lugar increíble que puedes recomendar sin lugar a dudas. Si eres Cancunese perfecto pues contamos con un descuento casi de la mitad de la tarifa original, eso si debes presentar tu Identificación oficial directo a la entrada para que lo hagan válido. Y si eres de los nuestros tambien hay wifi en el área de restaurante principal así no hay manera de no Unilocalear.

Oh wow, did I love this place. It’s basically a nature reserve around the mouth of a river. You’re given a snorkel going in the gate & you can jump in & out of the sea to snorkel wherever you like. We had a fantastic experience here, helped by the fact that the park was all inclusive. The only downside is that everything is quite expensive, but isn’t every tourist place the same.
There are also lots of activities, including zip wires, obstacle courses, diving points into the sea, a lazy river and all for free — there was also the option of some paid experiences including swimming with dolphins, swimming with manatees, swimming with sting rays, snuba diving and also some sort of speed boat experience. You could defo fill a whole day here!

Amazing place to snorkel. We had a great day. The buffet was very good. Plenty of lockers located all over the park. The only thing I didn’t care to see were the locked up Dolphins and Manatees for extra charge you can swim with them. Their enclosures are way to small.

En un entorno natural bello de origen, le extraen de buena forma y con actividades entretenidas lo mejor que tiene, con ese toque institucional con que la empresa trabaja en la Riviera Maya. No se si sea para considerarlo un «must» pero la pase bien e incluso faltó tiempo en un día para disfrutar con calma.

Just came back from a trip to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico and this was one of the places we visited. It was amazing! There was so many things to do! I swam and snorkled with dolphins, rode a zip bike which was so cool, zip lined in to water, cliff jumped, rode down the lazy river i mean there were ao many things to do it was great! They give u an all u can eat buffet restaurant food and drinks and the food is fresh and hot and delicious! ! They have several bars along the trails jus incase u want to jus chill out and have a drink. This place is awesome!

At first I was against visiting this place because it seemed like a total tourist trap, with buses of people going from Cancún resorts with all of their kids. Well, all of that was true but as far as touristy water parks go, this was the coolest one I’ve ever seen. While in the US we’re used to crappy chlorinated water parks with dangerous slides and questionable water quality, this one is built on natural landscapes, so you get amazing water, lots of sea life, cool caves, and incredible views.
It’s a great deal for the base price as a ticket includes all you can eat buffets and all you can drink bars. The buffet is huge and though I didn’t think the food was especially high quality, it was awesome that they had table service and a ton of selection.
It seems that they make their money here by the optional activities like swimming with a manatee or dolphins, a boat ride, or diving. I didn’t partake in any of these and honestly I don’t feel comfortable with swimming with dolphins places as I just can’t get over how these intelligent dolphins must feel being trained to lug people around all day. But even without any optional activities I still had a blast, inner tubing, snorkeling, ziplining, etc.
It’s what you always hoped a water park would be. Definitely a good choice if you’re in the mood to splash around and have some good clean fun!

De primera, es la tercera vez que visito el parque después de 1 década, barra libre, comida incluida, el servicio de 10, el parque espléndido. Tienen que visitarlo.

Amazing aquatic amusement park! Let me just say if you’re in to snorkeling or anything water related… you’ll be in paradise!!! The snorkeling is top notch and there’s tons of fish… for the people that say there’s no fish, don’t snorkel in the middle of the water or by crowds of people, duh! Go around to the edges of the park where there’s mounds of sand/​mud/​corral. Your mind will be blown! The lazy river was neat, although a bit crowded. Once you get down the river you’ll pass numerous fun activities to stop and play on. Once you get to the bottom… it’s time to snorkel! I really enjoyed the snorkeling in the very clear water. There’s multiple free buffets to enjoy and the park is clean. It’s crowded, but much less crowded than American water parks or amusement parks like Disney World. Well worth a visit!

Best place ever! The food is AMAZING! They have several restaurants out and you can drink and eat all you want.
For activities they have various. You can do the ones that are included which are zip lining, snorkeling with all the gear, river floating, sting ray snorkeling, cliff jumping, and the small cave swim. They have different activities for extra cost including dolphin swim, fish therapy, zip lining with bikes, etc. Our hotel didn’t tell us about the extra activities so we just got the basic ones, and that was enough bc we did them all and they were so much fun!
I was very scared bc I don’t really know how to swim and although it is sort of deep (about 12ft) they make you wear a life vest at all times and it was awesome! I was able to snorkel and see some awesome fishes!
For sure recommend this to anyone at all ages! P. S: be careful with loosing your snorkeling gear bc they do charge you! That didn’t happen to us but I heard from other people.

Fun activities for all ages & all you can eat/​drink all day!!! I’m there!!!
Our bus picked us up at our hotel @ 7AM. Took us an hour & a half to get there.
Wasn’t packed when we got there at around 9.
Free locker services to put all your stuff in. They don’t let you wear your own sunblock, unless it’s organic, so be prepared to sneak it around lol.
Anyway, first thing we did was eat. We ate at Chula Vista. 0/​5, don’t eat here lol. That’s all I’ve got to say. We ate at the American food restaurant (can’t remember the name,) but it was decent. I mean you can’t expect a gourmet meal, but it was waaaaaayyyy better than Chula.
Make sure you take advantage of the all you can drink too!!! Pina coladas & tequila shots all day!!!
After that, we went snorkeling. So happy that the mouth pieces were packaged & brand new for each person, I was a little scared about how sanitary everything was lol. Pretty easy to get all of our gear. So much fish to see!
Then we went zip lining, good for all ages because you can choose to just sit in a seat that takes you down. So fun to see my whole family having fun as well! Then went through the rope obstacle course… Say hello to your newest American Ninja Warrior contestant! Lol jk, but so happy I made it to the end :-)
Went cliff jumping & surprisingly they let little ones jump off. My little sisters that are both 5 jumped off!!! So crazy.
Overall, it was a very good experience & so fun!
Only thing I hated was the freaking smell!!! Smelled like a sewer in some spots :-(So disgusting.

Xel-​ha is an aquatic, nature-​themed amusement park. Set in a natural lagoon and fed by a large stream, the park is beautiful, with crystal clear water. Sandy paths surrounded by palm trees skirt the lagoon. The landscaping is a tropical fantasy of palms and well-​manicured jungle. Walk along the winding paths and you will find plenty of shady places to sit under the palms, a hammock park to relax and a cute playground for the little kids.
But the main attraction at Xel-​ha is the snorkeling. All the gear comes with the price of admission, and there are life jackets available for the taking all around the park. Unfortunately I didn’t see much in the way of fish, but there’s a pretty cave to swim in and a few big rocks to look at.
My favorite activity was bobbing down the river in a floaty. There’s a tram to take you up to the top of the river (or you can walk or bike). After leaving your belongings in a large sack (the employees lock it and take it down to the main area so you don’t have to go back and get anything.) walk down to the river and grab an inner tube or a raft for two. Then sit back and float down the river through a beautifully manicured mangrove jungle. (I don’t know what they do with the mosquitos, but there were none.) Eventually you’ll come out in an area surrounded by tall rocks, where you can rock climb and jump into the river. There are many inlets and other beautiful things along the way. Finally a series of zip lines and ropes comes into view. It’s a lot of fun for older kids, but I could see little ones having fun in the rafts too.
So why the three star rating? Even though it was beautiful, and even though my kids had a great time, I didn’t love it and I don’t think I’d go back, at least not in high season. The place was packed with people. I was joking to my husband on the way down the river that the traffic was worse than it is in LA. We were accidentally playing floating bumper cars with strangers.
The food, snorkeling and river floating were all included with admission, but the rest of the attractions were extra. Want to bicycle zip line? That’ll be $ 50 a person. Snuba? Swim with dolphins? Those are extra too. And those are just a few of the things that the heavily advertise in the park. I found it annoying. It’s not like it’s free or even cheap to get it. I needn’t tell you that around every turn is a shop selling stuff too.
Oh yeah, and the caged dolphins are just not cool. I wouldn’t return just because of that. It’s barbaric.
Finally, if you do decide to go, be sure to bring water shoes. There’s a lot of walking on those beautiful sandy paths, and the sand is hot enough to burn your feet.
There are a lot of different restaurants and all your food and beverages are included in the price of admission. We went to the mexican buffet and it was delicious.

This place is a lot of fun. It doesn’t seem as touristy as the other parks in the area b/​c it’s built on a natural inlet. The inlet is beautiful and we had so much fun snorkeling around. The food was surprisingly GOOD with all you can eat and drink (alcohol included). One thing we loved is that you can take photos all over the park and scan them to your wrist band. They give you a USB with the photos (for purchase of course). It saves you from having to carry your camera around. You can swim with dolphins, stingrays or manatees and do a ton of other stuff. Check it out!

Puntos a destacar de nuestro viaje a Xel-​Há:
Ok empecemos, mi primera impresión fue descubrir que el el parque se encontraba en remodelación y me preocupaba que el ruido dela construcción pudiera afectar nuestro día, no obstante las reparaciones las están haciendo antes de entrar, por lo cual no hubo de que preocuparse.
El parque lo abren a las 8:30 y mi esposa y yo estábamos ahí desde las 7:00
pues era nuestra primera vez que visitábamos el parque y no sabíamos que tiempo nos haríamos desde playa del Carmen.
Al principio para poder acceder nos confundimos un poco pues no había nadie en las taquillas principales, pero en segundos apareció un trabajador de la tienda y nos dijo por dónde ir.
Finalmente llegamos a la taquilla después de atravesar 2 tiendas, compramos nuestros boletos y listo, ya estábamos dentro del parque.
Después de entrar preguntamos al personal del staff donde podíamos cargar nuestros celulares, a lo cual respondieron amablemente que en el módulo de servicio al cliente en la caleta.
Nos dispusimos a llegar ahí, atravesando por donde se encuentran los delfines,(en realidad solo eran 2) y nos confundimos un poco pues no encontrábamos el lugar, aunque para ser sinceros buscábamos el bufete, moríamos de hambre, pasamos 2 restaurantes, los cuales se veían que se encontraban cerrados. Y bien debido a que sabíamos que el bufete lo abrían hasta las 9:30 decidimos ir a las hamacas, no sin antes ir a dejar nuestras cosas al locker en la red station, la cual por cierto me dio confianza de dejar nuestras cosas de valor pues tienen cámaras de seguridad. Faltando 5 minutos antes de la apertura pasamos a dejar nuestros celulares, junto con los cargadores al módulo que nos habían indicado, la persona a cargo fue muy amable y de igual forma nos advirtió que si subía el voltaje del parque, ellos no se hacían responsables, a lo cual accedimos sin mayor problema.
Llegamos al bufete y tan sólo esperamos como 3 minutos a que nos asignaran mesa, pues éramos de los primeros.
Para ser sincero esperaba un poco más en cuanto a la calidad de la comida, no es que estuviera mal, pero vamos no es el mejor bufete, sin embargo hasta cierto punto los comprendo, pues alimentar a cientos de personas, no es tarea fácil y por supuesto hay que optimizar tiempos y costos.
Ahora bien terminando de comer, recogimos nuestros celulares para tomar nuestras respectivas fotos y hacer check-​in en Foursquare (en ese tiempo no tenia Unilocal). En ese mismo módulo la persona a cargo nos recomendó como primera actividad hacer el recorrido del Río pues toma bastante tiempo.
Despues de que nos mostrara el camino por donde llegar, nos pusimos en marcha.
Hay dos formas de llegar al río, en camión y en bici, nosotros optamos por la segunda opción, pues teníamos años sin montar una bicicleta y así lo hicimos. Sin lugar a dudas es un recorrido muy agradable de entré 10 o 15 min., del cual no te puedes perder si eres un amante de la naturaleza, pero ten cuidado pues hay varios árboles en medio del camino.
Y bien llegamos a la estación donde se dejan las bicis y fuimos a buscar un chaleco salvavidas de nuestra talla y avanzamos otro poco más para acceder al río.
Al llegar te encuentras con personal que te da las debidas instrucciones de como subirte a la llanta y te da un empujón para que no te estanques, al igual que un fotógrafo que retrata el bello momento.
Pues bien nos adentramos en el río y no podíamos dejar de admirar lo hermoso que es con esa agua tan cristalina, eso si, un poco fría, pero nada a lo que no te puedas acostumbrar.
Entré más avanzábamos más nos deleitábamos la pupila, incluso se podía ver uno que otro pez, por lo cual nos encontramos personas haciendo snorkeling en esas áreas.
A la mitad del camino te vuelves a encontrar a otro fotógrafo, que pide poses para la foto, a lo cual accedimos, hay gente que se molesta, pero hey, están haciendo su chamba y no es forzoso que compres la foto si no quieres, así que take easy and be nice with them.
Después de 30 minutos, llegamos a una zona donde puedes subir y aventarte un buen clavado.
Más adelante nos encontramos con el área de las tirolezas, a la cual sin duda nos subimos y fue muy divertido, de hecho había un un buen grupo de personas concentradas en esa área que subían una y otra vez.
Finalmente llegamos al final del recorrido y volteamos atrás una vez más para admirar ese paisaje sin igual.
Sin lugar a dudas tuvimos un excelente clima, bastante caliente, pero con lo frío del río se compensaba. Aunque el clima no era tan extenuaste decidimos ir por unas ricas margaritas para empezar.
Después de un rato de estar en el bar, salimos y entramos al barco, el cual recomendamos, pues aunque la embarcaciones fija, en la parte de abajo se pueden apreciar de una gran variedad de peces, de diferentes colores y tamaños.
Sin Duda alguna alguna es una experiencia que recomiendo 100%

Wow! This place is great! I’m not normally one for theme park type experiences but we were in Playa over Christmas and we wanted something fun, easy and chill to do for x-​mas eve which also happens to be my birthday. So we booked a day at Xel-​ha, read up a bit and hoped for the best. It turned out to be a super fun day and we really enjoyed it. We would totally go back!
Loved that it’s all inclusive and you don’t have to carry cash or anything. They give you a barcode bracelet and scan it when you check anything out– super easy and zero fuss. Everything was always fully stocked and available– snorkel gear, towels, drinks!
For 2 California foodies the food was pretty tasty. We grabbed some fruit for breakfast and ate at the mexican restaurant for lunch. Everyone… and we do mean everyone! was going for a last meal before the road so we joined in and tasted the buffet at the international restaurant before the park closed. Everything was pretty fresh for a buffet and they whisk away any plates or uneaten food super quick.
In fact the whole park was spotless and incredibly well cared for. We wandered the whole place, snorkeled, did the river tubing… and through all of it had fun! Thanks for a fun birthday Xel-​Ha!

Este parque es uno de mis preferidos en lo que respecta la riviera maya, por mucho tiempo fui cada año con un grupo de amigos de toda la vida, siempre cada verano eligiamos ir a xcaret o xel-​ha, despues de un tiempo han ido surgiendo nuevos parques ecologicos y novedosos, pero debo decir que xel-​ha tiene su encanto propio.
Aqui encontraras el mejor buffet para comer que en otros parques, sin duda puedes ir al restaurante principal y comer a la hora que quieras ya que no hay horario restringido para que puedas tomar alimentos.
Sus atracciones principales son los rios que vas a atrasavesando con balsas o si lo prefieres solo con tu chaleco salvavidas.
Tambien puedes elegir en subirte a los kayaks y probar tu fierza y coordinacion en brazos jeje es ideal para competir en grupo aver quien naveg mas rapido al otro lado.
Este parque es super familiar, para ir en grupo con los amigos y vivir una experiencia nueva.

Sí vienes de vacaciones te juro que tienes que ir a este parque, no te puedes perder experimentar esta increíble experiencia sí visitas la Riviera maya, es un lugar único y lleno de magia, puedes haces y disfrutar de una gran variedad de actividades, puedes disfrutar nadando en el mar y snorkelear que es una actividad increíble de hacer en este parque porque verás tanta vida marina que esta súper linda y es algo súper bonito ver todo eso, también tienen áreas para que te relajes y disfrutes de tus vacaciones en las amacas y al fondo el tranquilo y relajante sonido del mar.
En este parque se te incluyen alimentos lo cual esta súper bien, y si eres local de la ciudad aveces te hacen descuentos, eso si te recomiendo llevar contigo bloqueador, repelente de mosquitos ecológico y muchas ganas de divertirte y pasarla genial!

Este lugar es el mejor para ir a descansar, y bañarse en aguas cristalinas y frescas y comer…
Es un paraíso terrenal, una maravilla de la naturaleza. La madre naturaleza nos ha dado a todos los quintanarroenses lugares tan hermosos como las del parque Xel-​há. Y este parque es uno de varios que tiene la empresa que mantiene dentro de su identidad corporativa la X como letra dominante.
Hay un precio especial para Cancunenses y otra para nacionales y extranjeros. Siempre tienen paquetes de promociones para que puedas visitarlo este y otros parques. A la entrada del parque tienen un lago donde tienen la atracción de delfines, más adelante otros sitios como los hamaqueros, tiendas de souvenirs, y los diferentes parajes para tomarse infinidad de fotos. También tienes a tu disposición los diferentes restaurantes que están incluidos en tu All inclusive del boleto de entrada. Nadas en su río que es muy largo y puedes snorkelear tan solo con un depósito de $ 300 por aletas visor y snorkel. Tienen regaderas y vestidores así como lockers para guardar tus cosas personales.
Tienes que vivir la experiencia sin duda.

Excelente parque para relajarte y nadar todo el día sin parar.
Aún en temporada alta cuando hay más gente se sigue manteniendo la tranquilidad.
El paquete es todo incluido y la comida es muy rica al igual que las bebidas.
El agua es super cristalina, perfecta para hacer snorkel.
Aunque tambien puedes usar llantas salvavidas y relajarte mientras flotas bajo la sombra de los manglares. Te sentirás muy en contacto con la naturaleza
Si te sientes valiente puedes lanzarte de un risco que se encuentra al final del río.
Recuerda usar suficiente bloqueador porque mientras te relajas bajo el sol olvidarás que tu piel esta en contacto directo con sus rayos solares.
Una vez que tu piel este protegida, tu única preocupación será decidir en que hamaca dormir!

Mi esposa tiene la frase perfecta: «Yo amo Hel-​Há, y Xel-​Há me ama a mí»
No hay de otra, y aunque puedo aventarme un mega choro de lo que es, no hay más palabras. Así que mi descripción ahora será por puntos:
1) Es de las albercotototototas más grandes en las que he estado
2) Quieres ver peces? Heea! es el lugar ideal, si creías que Dory y Nemo eran fantasía, HA!!! pus no, ahí hay que da gusto
3) ¿Comida? Deliciosa, cocina Mexicana tipo Buffet
4) Bebes todo lo que quieras. de aguas frescas. ¿No habrás pensado en otra cosa?
5) Todo el día te la pasas en el agua. TOOOOOOOOODO el día
6) Eres aventurero, te recomiendo la vivencia con las rayas son lindas, suavecitas y juguetonas
7) Esnorquel es el segundo nombre del lugar
OJO: Hay posibilidad de organizar experiencias individuales para ocasiones especiales, por ejemplo, el clumpleaños de mi esposa. La trataron super bien, personalizada, con letrero con su nombre a la entrada, pastelito de compleaños, pulsera, gorra … en Fin, le estoy muy agradecido al equipo de PR de Experiencias Xcaret.
¿Que más necesitas saber? Naaada, mejor ya lánzate!
Haa!!! claro como siempre se me olvidaba algo: EL ESTACIONAMIENTO. Claro que tiene! Aunque la transportación con ellos es bueníiiiisisisisima. Lo malo, pierdes unas dos horas de muy buena diversión.

No hay nada como pasar el día nadando en el rio, caminando entre la naturaleza, comiendo, descansando y andando en bicicleta; todo esto y más lo puedes hacer en Xel-​ha.
Siempre que voy me lleva el transporte desde Cancún hasta el parque y a partir de que todos abordamos el camión te recibe el anfitrión que es el que te guía durante todo el recorrido, durante el camino hace algunos concursos y llegando al parque lo primero que se hace es pasar al buffet a comer toda la comida que quieras sin limitaciones, te puedes servir infinidad de platillos todos muy deliciosos, el desayuno es muy completo y suficiente para agarrar energías y comenzar el recorrido.
Lo que más me gusta es nadar en el río y snorkelear porque seguro corres con la suerte de ver algunas especies de peces muy interesantes. También disfruto de la hora de la comida que es cuando ofrecen comida mexicana.
Y después de comer no olvides tomar un descanso al aire libre en una de las cómodas hamacas.

Este es un parque que te invita a descansar y a apreciar todo lo bueno de vivir aquí. De verdad iba pensando que sería un día ajetreado pero al llegar ahí, lo que se me antojó fue tirarme en las hamacas y relajarme a más no poder.
Afortunadamente fui un día no muy concurrido y logré desconectarme de la rutina.
Me rehusaba a snorkelear pero valió la pena vencer mi resistencia, es maravilloso presenciar la vida bajo el agua. Las llantas donde solo te dejas llevar también son excelentes para no hacer mucha resistencia al agua.
Comí muy a gusto, bebí aún mejor, la calidad de los restaurantes es muy buena, pero lo más importante, salí muy feliz de saber que este parque a pesar de ser muy comercial, puede resultar un oasis para descansar un buen rato cualquier temporada del año y gozar de ser atendido de la mejor manera por todos los que ahí trabajan.

Me encanta este lugar donde tienes contacto con la naturaleza más pura en todo su esplendor.
El servicio al cliente es magnífico. El precio vale toda la experiencia desde el relajarte, los paisajes y la cocina que ofrece el todo incluido.
Uno decide que tanta actividad realizar, te puedes tirar de muertito en las llantas un rato después de una intensa nadada, pedalear o disfrutar de lo maravilloso del snorkeling.
Las fotos de recuerdo no deben de faltar. Tienes que ir!

Este es un lugar tranquilo sin ser aburrido en lo absoluto, pues permite relajación con contacto con la naturaleza, combinado con las comodidades de un parque acuático, por sus instalaciones.
No olvides traer bloqueador solar biodegradable, es el único permitido en el parque, para evitar la contaminación en el agua y el daño a los animales.
Es para estar todo el día en el agua, pues recorrer el río nadando o flotando sobre una llanta y después hacer snorkel de verdad te puede entretener todo el tiempo que estés ahí, hay muchos peces para ver y hasta rayas. Si quieres más emoción puedes subirte a la trepachanga, a las pequeñas tirolesas o aventarte un buen salto desde la piedra del valor.
Fui el día de mi cumpleaños, mi esposo había avisado con anticipación que iríamos ese día y me estaba esperando un letrero de felicitación con mi nombre y me regalaron una pulsera. Además en el restaurante, después de comer, un mesero organizó a los otros empleados, me cantaron las mañanitas y me llevaron un pastel, detalle que no esperaba. El staff me identificó como cumpleañera por una pulsera que me regalaron cuando llegué. Definitivamente de mis lugares favoritos, para mí sí vale la pena el precio.

I had no idea what to expect when I signed up to goto Xel-​Ha. We signed up to do a Tulum/​Xel-​Ha excursion through our hotel.
Xel-​Ha is a huge lagoon where you can snorkel with thousands of beautiful, colorful fish, zip-​line, cliff dive, explore underwater caves, float on the lazy river, and for an additional cost, you can swim with dolphins and manatees.
The cost of admission includes all you can eat/​drink, but for me the food was blah. At the ‘international buffet’ I could hardly tell what was in the chafing dishes. I took a quick look and quickly lost my appetite. There was also a fast food (hot dog/​hamburger) place which looked a little sketchy as well, but my S/​O ate there and came out alive. I myself will stick to the endless margaritas.
Minus the mosquito bites and unappetizing food, Xel-​Ha is definitely worth checking out. I would recommend it for kids especially since all the kiddos I saw were having a total blast. I probably wouldn’t go again, but it was a nice experience in any case.

If you want to know about Xel-​Ha, the ecological water park, you should go to Trip Advisor. The park itself gets 4 stars.

My GF and I went to Cancun for our 4^th anniversary and booked a Tulum + Xel-​Ha excursion for one of the days we were there.
It was our first time in Cancun and I probably would NOT book an excursion the next time because it felt too rushed the whole day.
We visited Tulum in the morning (thank goodness, because it’s hot as hell there!) and didn’t get to Xel-​ha until around noon, which was perfect because that’s when the buffets open.
Xel-​ha used to serve breakfast, but I think they trimmed that down to only a continental breakfast service now.
We were so hungry and hot by the time we got here, we couldn’t wait to hit the buffets.
Xel-​ha has 3 buffets:
1. Mexican buffet
2. International buffet
3. American buffet
I’ll tell you now, don’t waste your time in the Mexican buffet. There is no line for that buffet for a reason. The only thing good about this buffet is the green salsa verde sauce. It was limey and spicey, two of my favorite flavors!
The International buffet is slightly better but don’t expect the Bellagio buffet. It’s probably on par with Chuck o Rama or slightly less even. But, still better than the Mexican buffet.
The American buffet is where it’s at. The quality here still isn’t even what I’d consider average but compared to the other two buffets, it’s still better!
We mostly gorged ourselves on fries. They also have burgers and dogs. The dogs looked better than the burgers so that’s what I got. It was a hotdog, like you’d get from Costco.
I wish Xel-​ha would offer two ticket prices, one that includes the all you can eat bARffets and one without. Then, build an actual restaurant in there with GOOD MEXICAN FOOD and charge modest prices. I guarantee the restaurant will be packed.
