Hotel Xcaret Mexico is the first and only hotel in the Americas to have been awarded the EarthCheck Certification for Planning and Design, a recognition of the hotel’s compliance with best practices in key aspects such as energy, water, transport, material selection, ecology and social, economic and cultural well-being. In addition to a design that required nine years of geological, environmental and water studies to assure preservation of the existing ecosystem, the hotel has taken other operational measures to reduce its carbon footprint, be energy efficient, use water responsibly and adequately manage waste. Furthermore, the hotel has taken a proactive approach to impact vulnerable Mexican communities in a positive and sustainable manner.
Hotel Xcaret Mexico opened its doors December 2017. The unique all-inclusive boasts cutting-edge architecture juxtaposed by natural design elements that celebrate Mexican heritage and the destination’s local flora and fauna. With multiple lavish swimming pools, a variety of distinct restaurants, unprecedented access to eight eco-touristic parks and tours and more than 12,900 square feet of multifunctional meeting and event space, Hotel Xcaret Mexico sets a new standard within Mexico’s hospitality landscape.
Destino Xcaret is an unparalleled tourism development in Mexico that encompasses 915 acres and a 2.5 billion-dollar investment of funds 100 percent Mexican. In the next eight years there will be 6,000 hotel rooms, 10,000 direct jobs, a multipurpose auditorium with capacity for a 12,000 audience, an 800,000 square feet convention center and an entertainment and commercial center with promenades along the river called “Pueblo del Rio,” that will stretch for 1.2 miles and will set a new standard in the industry.
