id=\"TLDR\"><\/span>TL;DR<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Location first, hotel second:<\/strong> Canc\u00fan offers nightlife and gorgeous beaches, Playa Mujeres is quieter, Riviera Maya is tucked into the jungle, and Tulum is more boutique and pricey.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Watch out for sargassum:<\/strong> This seaweed plagues the Caribbean mainly in the summer months. The safest bets for clean swimming tend to be the bay at Punta Canc\u00fan, Isla Mujeres or Playa Mujeres.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adults-only vs. family:<\/strong> Check carefully who the resort is aimed at. Adults-only resorts offer perfect peace and quiet, while family ones deliver endless fun for the kids.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Price range:<\/strong> A quality all-inclusive starts at roughly \u00a3230 to \u00a3390 (about $300\u2013$500) per night for two. Truly premium resorts run upwards of \u00a3630 ($800).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tourist traps:<\/strong> At Canc\u00fan airport, never stop for the &#8220;great offers&#8221; vendors (the so-called Shark Tank) \u2013 they&#8217;re trying to sell you a dodgy timeshare.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Restaurant reservations:<\/strong> Most better resorts have \u00e0 la carte restaurants you need to book through the hotel app first thing in the morning, otherwise you&#8217;ll be stuck with the buffet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_all-inclusive_Mexico_resorts_worth_it\"><\/span>Are all-inclusive Mexico resorts worth it?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You might be wondering whether it&#8217;s a shame to fly halfway across the world only to spend a week or two locked behind the gates of a hotel complex. The answer depends entirely on what kind of traveller you are and what you expect from a holiday. Mexico offers an incredibly rich culture, but if you&#8217;ve had a gruelling year and your only goal is to <strong>lie under a palm tree with a book<\/strong>, sip a chilled margarita and be pampered, an <strong>all-inclusive is your best<\/strong> possible choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These resorts are essentially <strong>a huge, safe bubble<\/strong>, where you have several pools, a private beach with sun loungers, an <strong>unlimited supply of food and drink<\/strong>, and often evening entertainment or sunrise yoga sessions too. On the other hand, if you&#8217;re an adventurer who loves exploring hidden side streets, wants to eat at a different street stall every day, or plans to spend your days diving and surfing, a classic resort would probably bore you fast and you&#8217;d overpay for services you&#8217;d never use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mexican cuisine<\/strong> is also absolutely fantastic, and even as a vegetarian you&#8217;ll be spoiled for choice. Instead of the traditional meat dishes, be sure to try the wonderfully creamy guacamole, fresh cheese quesadillas, tacos stuffed with beans and grilled mushrooms, or the street-food classic elote \u2013 grilled corn with mayo, cheese and chilli. Resorts often have <strong>dedicated vegetarian corners<\/strong> too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Tip: If you can&#8217;t make up your mind, go for a compromise and <strong>split your stay<\/strong> into two parts. Spend the first few days in the centre of Playa del Carmen or in Canc\u00fan (so-called Downtown), where you can take day trips to the sights, then move to a luxury resort for the second half of the holiday, where you simply switch off and relax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_the_best_Mexico_resorts_are_hiding\"><\/span>Where the best Mexico resorts are hiding<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1305\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/resortbeach.jpg\" alt=\"Beach resort on the Riviera Maya\" class=\"wp-image-229626\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/resortbeach.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/resortbeach-300x245.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/resortbeach-700x571.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/resortbeach-768x626.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/resortbeach-1536x1253.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/resortbeach-696x568.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/resortbeach-1392x1135.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Tellez Erik \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Choosing the right location<\/strong> is arguably even more important than choosing the hotel itself. The Caribbean coast stretches for dozens of kilometres and each section has a completely different vibe. The golden rule is to <strong>pick your beach<\/strong> and the stretch of coast that makes sense for you first, and only then start looking for specific accommodation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best known is the so-called <strong>Zona Hotelera in Canc\u00fan<\/strong>, a roughly 22-kilometre strip packed with enormous hotels, shopping centres and famous nightclubs like Coco Bongo or La Vaquita. It&#8217;s the pulsing heart of tourism, buzzing day and night. If you&#8217;re after quieter luxury and beautiful beaches sheltered from waves and seaweed, look a little to the north to the <strong>Playa Mujeres<\/strong> area. Here you&#8217;ll find top-tier adults-only hotels such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&amp;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&amp;campaign=all-inclusive-mexiko&amp;hotelname=Excellence+Playa+Mujeres&amp;address=Mexico\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">Excellence Playa Mujeres<\/a>. Another great adults-only option right in Canc\u00fan is the gorgeous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&amp;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&amp;campaign=all-inclusive-mexiko&amp;hotelname=Secrets+The+Vine+Cancun&amp;address=Mexico\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">Secrets The Vine Cancun<\/a> or the popular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&amp;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&amp;campaign=all-inclusive-mexiko&amp;hotelname=Hyatt+Zilara+Cancun&amp;address=Mexico\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">Hyatt Zilara Cancun<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To the south sprawls the <strong>Riviera Maya<\/strong> and the town of Playa del Carmen. Here the resorts often hide in dense green jungle, which gives them a wonderful tropical atmosphere. For families with children, an absolute hit is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&amp;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&amp;campaign=all-inclusive-mexiko&amp;hotelname=Hotel+Xcaret+Mexico&amp;address=Mexico\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">Hotel Xcaret Mexico<\/a>, which runs on an &#8220;All-Fun Inclusive&#8221; concept, so your room rate includes entry to the famous local eco-parks. If you&#8217;re after family luxury with calm swimming right in Canc\u00fan, travellers swear by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&amp;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&amp;campaign=all-inclusive-mexiko&amp;hotelname=Hyatt+Ziva+Cancun&amp;address=Mexico\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">Hyatt Ziva Cancun<\/a>, perched right on the tip of the peninsula where the sea is beautifully calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then there&#8217;s <strong>Tulum<\/strong>. Not so long ago it was a sleepy hippie village, today it&#8217;s an extremely popular but rather pricey destination. You&#8217;ll often see prices quoted directly in dollars, and at beach clubs you should expect a minimum spend of around \u00a340 ($50). Tulum is more about smaller boutique hotels with boho design than huge all-inclusive complexes. For completeness, I&#8217;ll also mention the Pacific coast on Mexico&#8217;s west side, where the sea doesn&#8217;t suffer from seaweed but the waves can be strong. There you&#8217;ll find gems like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&amp;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&amp;campaign=all-inclusive-mexiko&amp;hotelname=Hilton+Vallarta+Riviera&amp;address=Mexico\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">Hilton Vallarta Riviera<\/a> or the absolute top end, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&amp;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&amp;campaign=all-inclusive-mexiko&amp;hotelname=Grand+Velas+Los+Cabos&amp;address=Mexico\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">Grand Velas Los Cabos<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Tip: <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Booking.com\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/doporucujeme\/booking-com-2\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Booking.com<\/a> is great for comparing reviews, but for Mexican resorts always <strong>read the most recent comments<\/strong> from the past month carefully, especially regarding the <strong>state of the beach and the quality of the food<\/strong>, because hotel management changes fairly often and service levels change with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_choose_a_resort_what_to_look_for_when_booking\"><\/span>How to choose a resort: what to look for when booking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/infinity.jpg\" alt=\"Infinity pool with a sea view\" class=\"wp-image-229627\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/infinity.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/infinity-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/infinity-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/infinity-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/infinity-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/infinity-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/infinity-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: S L V \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you know which area you like, it&#8217;s time to <strong>pick the right hotel<\/strong>. And here come a few absolutely crucial things you should check before clicking that book button, so your dream holiday doesn&#8217;t end in disappointment. <strong>The Caribbean has its quirks<\/strong>, and what looks perfect in the brochure photos can come with a catch in reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest bogeyman of recent years is sargassum. This <strong>brown seaweed<\/strong> appears mainly in the warmer months and can swamp beaches to the point where you can&#8217;t get into the water at all, and it gives off an unpleasant smell on the shore too. The situation changes daily depending on currents and wind, but as a rule, areas like Tulum, Akumal and Playa del Carmen suffer the most. Conversely, <strong>Isla Mujeres<\/strong> or the north-facing beaches in Canc\u00fan tend to be spared. Before you travel, it&#8217;s worth checking the current situation, for example via the <a href=\"https:\/\/sargassummonitoring.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">official monitoring networks<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, get clear on the dining concept. The usual standard is a huge buffet, but the <strong>best Mexico resorts<\/strong> also offer several themed \u00e0 la carte restaurants (Italian, Japanese, traditional Mexican) with table service. Travellers, however, often point out one important detail: you need to make a reservation at these better restaurants. It often works through the hotel app, where slots open at, say, 7:00 a.m., and if you sleep in, the tables get snapped up and you&#8217;ll end up at the buffet again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also consider the overall atmosphere. <strong>Adults-only resorts<\/strong> are a sanctuary of calm, with chill-out music by the pool and elegant evening entertainment. <strong>Family resorts<\/strong>, on the other hand, are full of laughter, with brilliant activity programmes and water slides \u2013 but you won&#8217;t find much poolside romance there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Tip: Carefully <strong>study the beach<\/strong> at your chosen hotel using satellite maps and guest photos. Some luxury hotels on the Riviera Maya have lovely pools, but the entry into the sea is <strong>over sharp coral<\/strong>, and you won&#8217;t be able to swim without water shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ballpark_prices_and_the_best_time_to_book\"><\/span>Ballpark prices and the best time to book<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1111\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/swimup.jpg\" alt=\"Swim-up bar at a resort\" class=\"wp-image-229628\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/swimup.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/swimup-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/swimup-700x486.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/swimup-768x533.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/swimup-1536x1067.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/swimup-696x483.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/swimup-1392x967.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Scott Webb \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Mexico has long <strong>stopped being the super-cheap destination<\/strong> for backpackers that it was fifteen years ago, and the Caribbean coast in particular has crept up close to American price levels. It&#8217;s good to have realistic expectations so you&#8217;re not unpleasantly surprised when it comes to paying. The official currency is the <strong>Mexican peso (MXN)<\/strong>, with the rate sitting at roughly 22 pesos to the pound, but in tourist areas like Canc\u00fan and Tulum you can usually pay in US dollars too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a quality four-star all-inclusive resort in Canc\u00fan or on the Riviera Maya, in the 2025\/2026 season you&#8217;ll pay roughly <strong>\u00a3230 to \u00a3390<\/strong> per night for two people (about $300\u2013$500). That price already includes unlimited food, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, beach loungers and basic activities. If you&#8217;re craving absolute luxury at a five-star adults-only resort, prices <strong>start at around \u00a3315<\/strong> ($400) and can climb to \u00a3630 ($800) per night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll usually bag the best prices when you <strong>book well in advance<\/strong> \u2013 even half a year before departure. The high season on the Yucat\u00e1n runs roughly <strong>from December to April<\/strong>, when the weather is most stable and Americans and Canadians flee here to escape the winter. Prices are naturally at their highest during this period. If you want to save, you can travel in the so-called shoulder season in late autumn or late spring, but you&#8217;ll have to factor in the odd shower and a higher risk of sargassum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Tip: When paying by card in Mexico, be very careful about the so-called <strong>DCC service<\/strong> (Dynamic Currency Conversion). The terminal will offer to convert the amount into pounds at its own, extremely unfavourable rate. Always decline this offer on the screen and choose <strong>payment in the local currency<\/strong>, i.e. Mexican pesos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"lk-stays-module\">\n<style>\n\/* \u2500\u2500\u2500 RESET PRO GUTENBERG \u2500\u2500\u2500 *\/\n.lk-stays-module * { box-sizing: border-box;

Mexico is a beautiful country, but tourism here has its rather <strong>rough edges<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first test awaits the moment you land at Canc\u00fan airport. As soon as you clear customs, you&#8217;ll find yourself in a corridor full of smiling people in uniforms offering you a ride, free maps or guaranteed cheapest tours. This zone is nicknamed the &#8220;Shark Tank&#8221;. These people aren&#8217;t representatives of your hotel \u2013 they&#8217;re <strong>timeshare salespeople<\/strong>. They&#8217;ll promise you discounts or free trips in exchange for sitting through a &#8220;short ninety-minute&#8221; presentation over breakfast. That often drags out into a gruelling five hours and ruins your whole day. Simply smile, <strong>say &#8220;no, gracias&#8221;<\/strong> and keep walking without stopping until you reach your arranged transfer outside the airport building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another quirk is transport. There&#8217;s a long-standing tension between traditional taxi drivers and Uber drivers in the Quintana Roo region. Uber usually isn&#8217;t allowed at the airport at all, so you&#8217;ll have no choice but to use a pre-arranged private transfer (often offered by the resort itself), or take an <strong>official airport taxi<\/strong>, which runs to 800\u20131,200 pesos (about \u00a335\u2013\u00a355). If you want to save, the <strong>red ADO buses<\/strong> work brilliantly \u2013 they&#8217;re comfortable, air-conditioned and will safely take you into the centre of Canc\u00fan or Playa del Carmen for a fraction of the price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last but not least, watch out for <strong>adulterated alcohol<\/strong>. As alarming as it sounds, even the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/foreign-travel-advice\/mexico\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">UK Foreign Office<\/a> warns about this problem in Mexico. Sometimes bars with unlimited consumption serve low-quality or watered-down alcohol. If your cocktail tastes strange or you feel tipsy after just one drink, it&#8217;s better to order a <strong>sealed bottled beer<\/strong> or a soft drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Tip: Pack <strong>plenty of one-dollar bills<\/strong> or 20-peso coins. In theory you don&#8217;t have to pay for anything at an all-inclusive, but <strong>a small tip for the barman<\/strong> or the housekeeper can work wonders \u2013 your drink will suddenly taste noticeably better and you&#8217;ll find towel swans waiting in your room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_do_outside_the_resort_when_you_tire_of_the_pool\"><\/span>What to do outside the resort when you tire of the pool<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/co-videt-v-mexiku-chichenitza.jpg\" alt=\"Day trip from the resort to Chich\u00e9n Itz\u00e1\" class=\"wp-image-227795\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/co-videt-v-mexiku-chichenitza.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/co-videt-v-mexiku-chichenitza-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/co-videt-v-mexiku-chichenitza-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/co-videt-v-mexiku-chichenitza-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/co-videt-v-mexiku-chichenitza-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/co-videt-v-mexiku-chichenitza-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/co-videt-v-mexiku-chichenitza-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As fantastic as lounging with a cocktail beside an infinity pool is, it would be a huge shame to see nothing else of Mexico. The <strong>Yucat\u00e1n Peninsula<\/strong> offers unique natural and historical wonders that are <strong>well worth a day trip<\/strong>, and most better resorts will happily arrange transport or an organised tour for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An absolute must is <strong>visiting the cenotes<\/strong> \u2013 natural limestone caves and sinkholes flooded with crystal-clear fresh water. In the past the Maya considered them gateways to the underworld; today they&#8217;re some of the most magical places for a swim. Among the best known are the Gran Cenote near Tulum and Dos Ojos. Admission to these premium cenotes in 2025 is around <strong>350 pesos<\/strong> (roughly \u00a316). I recommend setting off first thing in the morning, right at opening time, so you can experience that magical atmosphere without the crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you love snorkelling, definitely take a <strong>trip to the town of Akumal<\/strong>. Its name in the Mayan language means &#8220;place of turtles&#8221;, and you really can swim in the sea right next to these magnificent creatures. For conservation reasons, entry into the water is now possible <strong>only with a certified guide<\/strong> and a life vest, so you don&#8217;t disturb the turtles. Another unique spot is the underwater museum <a href=\"https:\/\/musamexico.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">MUSA (Museo Subacu\u00e1tico de Arte)<\/a> off Isla Mujeres, where more than 500 life-sized statues stand beneath the surface, gradually being colonised by coral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you&#8217;re travelling with kids \u2013 or want to reawaken your own inner child \u2013 consider <strong>visiting the famous eco-parks<\/strong> like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xcaret.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Xcaret<\/a>, Xel-H\u00e1 or Xplor.
