The one rule

Book dinner before you pack.

Most restaurants here need a reservation for dinner, and the resort asks for your dining wish list at least 30 days before you arrive. Walk-ins sometimes work. Planning works better.

Send your list to both:

planmystay@hotelxcaret.comdxguestservice@hotelxcaret.com

How the wish list works

  1. Pick restaurants, parks and tours.
  2. We pre-fill the hotel's planning form.
  3. You email it to both addresses.
  4. Get a day-by-day itinerary as a PDF.
