Hotel Xcaret México is Grupo Xcaret’s AAA Five Diamond, All-Fun Inclusive eco-resort on the Xcaret park grounds just south of Playa del Carmen, about 55 minutes from Cancún International Airport. Built between jungle, natural inlets and a Caribbean beach, it is the group’s family-friendly flagship; the adults-only (16+) Hotel Xcaret Arte sits a few hundred metres away, so a wedding group can split between the two.
The 900 suites are spread across five “Casas”, each with its own pools and character, and the ten restaurants include HA’, the Riviera Maya’s Michelin-starred fine-dining room. All-Fun Inclusive covers unlimited access to Xcaret, Xel-Há, Xplor, Xplor Fuego, Xoxi, Xenses and Xenotes with park transport, round-trip airport transfers, all dining and drinks, so every wedding guest gets a full Riviera Maya holiday inside the booking.
Weddings here are built around the setting: the Capilla de Todos los Ángeles chapel atop the Xpiral pyramid, 148 ft above the jungle canopy, for Catholic ceremonies; Palmeras Beach and Playón Viento on the sand; Caleta Fuego’s terrace over the inlet; the stone Cuevas Kayak caves; and Explanada Xerro for receptions of up to 250. The 2026 Paraíso package covers 30 guests, and the resort’s room-block rules are firm: at least 80% of guests stay at Hotel Xcaret México or Hotel Xcaret Arte. Couples who married here in 2025-2026 call the day itself the best of their lives; their practical advice is to lock decisions early, since the wedding office answers slowly in the final weeks, and to keep an outside planner alongside the hotel coordinator.
