Just got back from a 6 day stay at Hotel Xcaret Mexico and unfortunately it wasn’t a great experience overall.

The resort itself is beautiful, the staff are friendly, and the pools, slides, gym, and food were all good. The property is well maintained and there are plenty of fun things to do. But there were several frustrating issues. Check in took over an hour even with multiple agents...
