We added a couple of optional activities beyond Playa Delfines and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.

Our trip to Cancun was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Xcaret eco-archaeological park was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.

Cancun is stunning and this package covered the essentials well, especially Xcaret eco-archaeological park. The hotel could have been a little closer to the center but transport was easy.

Underwater Museum of Art (MUSA) tour alone was worth the trip, but combined with Xel-Há all-inclusive water park this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.
