Out & About: Xel-Ha

So, today I want to bring back my "Out & About" series by sharing my experiences at Xel-Ha in Mexico.  Today is the perfect day for me to reminisce about my vacation in Mexico because exactly one month from today my husband and I will be on our way to Jamaica! (Yay!)  I cannot wait to be back by the Caribbean Sea!

I absolutely adore planning vacations. I frequently use resources such as Yelp or TripAdvisor in deciding what activities will be worth my while.  While planning fun things for my trip to Riviera Maya, Mexico, I read a little bit about Xel-Ha, a natural water park. I was immediately interested, and I am so glad we set aside a day to visit.

Xel-Ha is an all inclusive day-long experience with different options for different travelers.  The option we chose was the Xel-Ha all-inclusive with transportation.  Now for those who have never been to Mexico, the taxi rides can be scary.  Xel-Ha's transportaion included a large comfortable bus.  I chose the Xel-Ha all-inclusive because I had read many reviews from people who hadn't and they wished they had more time at the park.  And after experiencing the park myself, I completely agree.  I was there all day, and still would've loved more time!  There is so much to do!

Hellooooo, paradise!  This is a picture I took of the main swimming and snorkeling area.  Of all of the things to do at Xel-Ha, snorkeling was my favorite.  (AND, I got to cross it off my bucket list!  Score!)  There were so many different fish to see, and I loved being free to roam wherever in the park.

Other activities at the park were inner-tubing through beautiful water pathways and cliff jumping into the clear water.  Here is a picture I found on TripAdvisor of the cliff that I would love to jump off of again!  SO fun!

Now, for the all-inclusive aspect of the park, the restaurant was all you can eat (buffet style) and the alcohol was all you can drink.  Sangria and daiquiris.  Yum!  This was the perfect set up as you could swim, swim, swim (which always gives me an appetite) and then eat and drink.  (And then start the process all over!)  What a great way to spend a day!





Here are some pictures I took!

Just looking at these pictures again makes me want to go back!  Long story short?  I recommend Xel-Ha for anyone heading to Riviera Maya and wanting a day long fun excursion.  Here is a link to the website if you would like more information.  I'll leave you with this picture...
