Hotel Xcaret Mexico - All Parks / All Fun Inclusive
Rooms, restaurants, amenities all were excellent. Only thing that we were not happy about was the time spent on checkin at new phase lobby. Not sure whether it was just bad timing, cause every other time we managed all we needed very quickly.

Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen Adults Only All Inclusive
Clean room, fantastic location. Staff we very friendly and helpful. The buffet was bland but the restaurants great. Pool closes really early at 8:30 so that was a bummer you couldn’t go sightseeing and then relax in the pool. Overall nice resort
