Choose a Beach!
We had a great time. Truly we had plenty of drinks. I don’t know if there was breakfast available. I didn’t see it. Music was wonderful. We stopped 2 times. The first time for lunch is a more private beach. Which I loved. Wish they had a dj playing music for the beach. That was missing. We could face stayed there. Then we went to a second beach with was actually more beautiful and lively. But no umbrellas and chairs. I wish we could have went I either or. Going to both is a waste of time. But we had a great time.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad to hear you had a great time and enjoyed the drinks, music, and beach stops. We truly appreciate your suggestions regarding the breakfast information, beach amenities, and entertainment, as they help us identify areas where we can improve. We’re happy you enjoyed the experience overall and hope to welcome you back for another great day on the water!

Mexico travel solutions wonderfful but…
First of all Paulette from Mexico travel solutions is WONDERFUL!! She was always attentive, kind, helpful and polite returning messages day and night very quickly, the problem was the company who manages the catamaran to/from isla mujeres the food buffet at isla mujeres was awful,drinks terrible there were photographers taking pictures of all the tourists during the day and on the way back to Cancun they sold my son a package of “digital pictures” that never were sent to his email , contacted Paulette and with her help we were able to finally get those pictures, I doubt we will get any without her help , then on the way back to our hotel there were 10 adults, one baby and a stroller inside the van that was taking all of us to different hotels, the only positive experience was the trip in the catamaran. We reserved a private transportation vehicle from Mexico travel solutions from airport/hotel/airport and it was a super nice experience. Look for Paulette if you are interested in booking through Mexico Travel Solutions
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're delighted to hear that Paulette provided attentive, responsive, and caring assistance throughout your trip. We'll be sure to share your kind words with her. We also appreciate your feedback regarding your excursion experience and transportation after the activity.

Isla Mujeres by Xcaret All Inclusive Catamaran Cruise: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa del Carmen.
How much does Isla Mujeres by Xcaret All Inclusive Catamaran Cruise cost?
+
Prices start at $119 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Playa del Carmen usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Isla Mujeres by Xcaret All Inclusive Catamaran Cruise take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Playa del Carmen is not rushed.
Is Isla Mujeres by Xcaret All Inclusive Catamaran Cruise worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 27 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Playa del Carmen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Isla Mujeres by Xcaret All Inclusive Catamaran Cruise?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Isla Mujeres by Xcaret All Inclusive Catamaran Cruise suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Isla Mujeres by Xcaret All Inclusive Catamaran Cruise?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Playa del Carmen can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Playa del Carmen and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Isla Mujeres by Xcaret All Inclusive Catamaran Cruise start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Playa del Carmen within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Playa del Carmen?
+
On Outty we rank every Playa del Carmen experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ride to a life changing cenotes tour, Chichén Itzá, Cenote and Valladolid with Lunch and transportation, From Playa del Carmen ATV Adventure with Ziplines, Cenote. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Playa del Carmen?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Playa del Carmen?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
