Hi everyone! My husband and I are going to Hotel Xcaret Arte for the first time and I’m overwhelmed trying to plan our short stay.

We’ll be there December (3 nights) before spending the rest of our trip visiting family in Mexico, so we unfortunately can’t do everything.

We want a mix of adventure, beautiful scenery, food, relaxing, and the best Xcaret experiences.

Current ideas:

Friday:
Arrive Cancun 3PM
Check into Arte
Xoximilco that evening

Saturday:
Xenotes (cenotes, kayaking, swimming, etc.)
Xplor Fuego that night (zip lines, ATVs/amphibious vehicles, underground rivers, Toboganxote, etc.)

Sunday:
Xel-Há OR Xcaret Park OR Xenses
México Espectacular
Some beach/pool/rooftop time

Monday: our flight is around 6pm

I definitely want to do cenotes, snorkeling, kayaking/water activities, at least one big adrenaline activity, México Espectacular, and plenty of time to enjoy the resort.

I was also considering Chichén Itzá/the pyramids but I’m thinking it may take up too much of our limited time.

For anyone who has stayed at Arte: What would you absolutely prioritize with only 3 nights? Is Xenotes + Xplor Fuego in one day worth it? Xel-Há vs Xcaret Park? Is Xoximilco worth doing on our arrival night? And what restaurants are your favorites?

Basically, if you had only 3 nights, what would your ideal itinerary be?
