Occidental Grand Xcaret

Occidental Grand Xcaret is a magical resort, located on the Caribbean coast of Mexico adjacent to the spectacular Xcaret Park, offering a unique vacation experience to suit a variety of tastes. Each guest receives a one-day pass to the world-renowned Xcaret Park. The nature park is one of Yucatan's principal visitor attractions. The resort's distinct characteristics, such as the expansive subterranean river that forms channels through the cobblestone streets, create a sense of harmony in this exotic setting.

Lodging at Occidental Grand Xcaret is divided into four sections. With the exception of the colorful, village-like Pueblo de Rio along the river, each section has its own pool and sundecks. In the exclusive, 45-suite Royal Club, the private pool complex includes a 30-foot-diameter hot tub. In the 128-room Cangrejo section, the large pool is crossed by a stone bridge and contains five cool-water spa tubs. The resort's main pool is located at the 393-room Flamenco section. It consists of three enormous swimming areas connected by channels beneath stone bridges.

Hotel facilities include: a health-and-beauty spa complete with sauna, steam room, and spa tub with various kinds of massage and body and facial treatments; a state-of-the-art fitness center; a business center with Internet access; and an indoor/outdoor children's activities center that includes video games, a pool, and a playground. Activities for both adults and children begin in the morning and run until well after dark. Among them are water aerobics, dance lessons, beach volleyball, and bicycle tours. Like all major Mayan Riviera hotels, the hotel is equipped with a water-purification system.

On the beach is a temazcal (traditional Mayan sweat lodge) shaped like a stone igloo. Guests sweat in steam produced by scented water poured on heated volcanic stones (surcharge).
