Huge, gorgeous public beach, quieter on the end near Hyatt Ziva, livelier towards the beach clubs.

Xcacelito - Inside the Cenote and cave

Xcacelito

5.0(3 reviews)
9.1 km•Supermanzana 57

Exactly how a beach on your vacation should be!…read more Two words: Tranquil & quiet! If you truly like quiet beaches that are peaceful and away from crowds, head here. Xcacelito is a sanctuary and beach for nesting turtles which is open to the public. The entrance 'fee' is a donation. The beach is breathtaking and one of a kind! The water was warm, pristine and crystal clear. You will not find a lot of folk here all at one time, which is a good thing. You practically feel like you're on a private beach that you own. I couldn't find anything wrong with this destination, except that the beach closes at 4pm and doesn't have much shade. We got here around 1pm. Next time, I would come earlier in the day (it opens at 10) and bring an umbrella but the few hours we spent here was amazing and this was the best beach of the trip. The only thing missing was booze and food. The only food allowed is fruit and water but that is all you really need I guess. Another highlight with this destination, is that It is very close to Dos Ojos Cenote so you can go to both places for a fun day trip. After your Ocean bath, you can enjoy a fresh-water-dip in a beautiful cenote (fresh water sinkhole) situated in the middle of the forest. That is what we did and it made for a perfect ending to our trip. In all, a top quality beach experience. No vendors, no crowds, and no hassles. Definitely leave Playa del Carmen and come here for a beach day. For the nature-lovers out there, this beach and sanctuary is paradise! Tips, Bearings & Points of Interest to keep in mine: * The North end is sheltered for turtle nesting and you will find the coral reefs here perfect for snorkeling. Lots of fish and sea-life to see. * The South end you will find the Cenote and cannot miss the signs.

This pool is absolutely gorgeous! It's one of those places where you don't want to leave and want…read moreto hang out at all day. I mean...who wouldn't want to leave this mini place of Zen. The view is breathtaking, the service from the staff is superb, the weather is perfect, the gentle breeze is very relaxing, the swim up bar is part of the all-inclusive price with premium liqour included, and the food by the pool is very tasty as well. AYCD and AYCE by the pool, cant get better than that, and if that isnt enough, theres a buffet located right next to the pool. Yup, I never want to leave this place. In fact, Im actually writing my Yelp Review as Im laying in one of the pool chairs, while sipping on a Black Label and Coke. Bring your camera and your iphones...this area and view is just begging for Instagram posts! Le Blanc Resort and Spa IS DEFINITELY THE PLACE TO BE IN CANUN. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! UNTIL THEN!! ^-^

View is GORGEOUS!…read more Definitely a picture worthy spot in Cancun. I stayed here for 4 days and I loved it every single day. The staff are very attentive except when it gets super crowded. I was sitting out in the patio area when it was raining and even that view was gorgeous. You can order drinks, food and anything you want from any of the restaurants. They have a menu for the pool deck but you can basically ask them whatever you want and they will make it happen. The view from upstairs is beautiful too because you can see the layers of two infinity pools with palm trees in the back. I've seen this at Amankila in Bali but it's a different feel. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Cancun.

Close your eyes and picture a Cancun beach. When you open your eyes, Playa Caracol is that beach…read morethat you imagined! (Real quick, the other review from Tia is about a resort which has nothing to do with this public beach. I hate to call her out, but Playa Caracol is just a beach area, (playa means beach) nothing to do with a resort.) Anyways, this beach is where the locals go, and we were the only Americans there during our visit. The water is crystal clear and just beautiful. I could have just sat there for hours staring at it. The beach has beautiful white sand that's clean and well taken care of. When you get into the water that sand continues, no rocks or anything in the water. Just perfection! On one side there are people renting chairs and umbrellas for 250 pesos if you like. We spent our entire time in the water so we didn't rent anything. There is a long pier that offers shade if you need to get out of the sun. Even under the pier is clean and wonderful. All the people were nice and treated us like one of them. Next time in Cancun I will definitely go to Playa Caracol.

Playa Caracol is an okay beach located just west of the heart of the Hotel Zone. The biggest pro is…read moreits location. If you are staying at property that does not have beach front access, this one is only a quick taxi or public ride away. You can enjoy the same white sand and blue waters like any other Cancun beach. However, it is not a big beach. And the pier serves as a major drop off point for catamaran and boat tours, so it is filled with many tourists coming and going. There are simply much bigger and better beaches if you are willing to go further.
