PRKParksWe arrived in normal clothes and missed half of it. Xenses is secretly a water park: the two paths, and the age and swimming gates.HTLHotelThe all-fun inclusive, line by line from a family that paid it: parks, transfers, food and drink, plus the three extras that found our wallet anyway.ARTArteSix casas, and the one you pick changes what you can use. Casa de los Artistas keeps its pool, gym and restaurant for its own guests.PLNPlanA family who did five nights, three parks, and a resort day tells you what each really takes: one full day per park, and when the hotel math wins.KDSKidsPublished minimums for Xcaret, Xplor, Fuego and Xenses, plus the contradiction that got our four-year-old a helmet and then turned her away.MAPMapInteractive park map, coming soon
