When you first find out the extra posh and luxurious Breathless Cabo San Lucas is equipped with just two pools, your immediate reaction might be, “that’s it?” But believe me when I say, the two pools at this all-inclusive adults-only resort gives you exactly what you need and more. Perfectly located at the elbow of the marina and Playa Medano Beach, this beautiful 169-room resort is the perfect mix of a chic and modern marina-beachfront setting. One pool — also known as the quiet pool — overlooks the marina, giving pool-goers the perfect view for people watching and admiring the boats and water vessels that sail in and out of the harbor throughout the day. You may also catch the rays jumping out of the water or spot seals popping their heads out of the water. It’s also a delight to see the fishermen bringing in their catch of the day on their boats. The marina pool is set alongside the Bites restaurant and Wink the main lobby bar so you’re able to receive drink and food service as you lounge. The 24-hour Nook cafe is also nearby for quick snacks, baked goods and delicious coffee and other drinks served both day and night. At the other pool — also known as the freestyle pool — the setting is quite picturesque as it overlooks the main beach. You’ll find an abundance of loungers surrounding this pool along with poolside service throughout the day, including plenty of drinks and tasty lunch offerings (nachos, wings, quesadillas) served in bento boxes. The Spoon International Buffet is also close by along with Foam the poolside bar and several of the hotel’s fine restaurants are just a few floors down from the pool area. But what really gives this pool its “party” atmosphere is the house DJ, who begins spinning the perfect mix of today’s hits and popular music from the past three decades starting at about noon each day. On certain days, you’ll also be able to witness the popular foam party complete with festive floats and a champagne spray — it’s a festive and fun atmosphere for adults of all ages. So whatever your mood is for a day of pool lounging, Breathless Cabo San Lucas delivers the perfect setting. And don’t forget, if you’d rather spend the day at the beach under the Cabo sun, Playa Medano is just steps away. Or if you’d rather spend some downtime at the resort’s spa, it’s just a mere floor away from the party pool. Breathless Cabo San Lucas is the ideal spot for a romantic couple's getaway, a festive Bachelor or Bachelorette celebration or simply a fun vacation for a group of family and friends.

What is the All-Fun Inclusive Program? Hotel Xcaret Mexico, a resort in the making for nearly a decade, opened its doors in December 2018 and has wowed its guests with its incredible paradise-like atmosphere and delicious all-inclusive dining program. But what has truly set it apart from other 5-star luxury resorts, is its all-fun inclusive concept. which gives each guest full and free access into local water/nature parks and tours to local ruins and cenotes.

Guests of Hotel Xcaret can ride these shuttle buses free of charge from morning to each of the park's closing hours, and you can also transfer to and from the different parks on these buses if you'd like to visit multiple parks in one day. While most of the parks do not require advanced reservations, a few of them do -- Xel-Ha and Xoximilco Cancun as well as all the tours. Advanced reservations can be made with the guests services department at the hotel. The above parks and tours typically costs anywhere between $80 to $150/per person for entry and all-inclusive food and drinks, so having the ability to enjoy these excursions for free as part of your stay at the resort is huge benefit with great value. What About Food and Drinks When You Go Off-Site? In addition to access and transporation to these parks and tours, guests can also enjoy unlimited food and beverages at these parks and tours -- so your entire experience and outing is truly all-inclusive. These hotel perks allow vacationers the unique privilege of never feeling tied down to the resort to enjoy what they paid for.

Why is Hotel Xcaret Mexico Perfect for Destination Groups? The all-fun inclusive concept is great for couples but it's truly ideal for families and groups who want to plan fun outings together. Each park and tour offers something different and accommodates people of all ages, so if you're a group planning to visit one of the parks, you can rest assure everyone can find something to enjoy. One of the best things about having a destination wedding is creating memories with the group that has traveled both near and far for your wedding day. Many destination wedding couples like to plan their festivities so that it is more of a 3 to 4 day experience for their guests rather than just a one day celebration. So often times couples will plan a fun activity for all the guests to do together -- perhaps a beach day, a catamaran ride or a trip to one of the Mayan ruins. But planning excursions or activities like that usually require the couple and their guests to spend more money to participate. When it comes to Hotel Xcaret -- there are no extra expenses to planning a fun excursion for the entire group because the all-fun inclusive program gives you so many options at no additional costs. This is a huge money-saver for wedding groups because they can plan these fun outings as long as everyone is a guests at Hotel Xcaret -- this aspect alone will take your destination celebration to a whole new level and make the planning process that much easier. The all-fun inclusive program at Hotel Xcaret Mexico is truly a game-changer when it comes to the all-inclusive experience. It gives each guest the freedom to enjoy the resort's amenities and benefits both on and off the property, with a lot of wonderful experiences and memories created in between.
