    i have been to both and i liked them both...

    Buuut, Xcaret was waaaay better than xel ha !!

    Xel ha has very nice beaches where one can swim and be very relaxed, and it's nice to walk around and see things that they have there...

    Xcaret on the other hand, is so much more greener and beautiful...

    there is an awsome underground type like caves that you go through, it's like an adventure and it's very long and very cool... you children will love it, i was a teen when i went there and it has been such an awsome experience!!

    Your 6 year old can also do the water adventure...

    then the night show is a MUST SEE, it such a beauty, and it takes you into the history of Mexico!!

    just trust me, Xcaret is way better even though they are both great places !!

    there's more to see in both that i didn't mention...

    hope you have fun =]

    I didn't visit Xcaret but I have visited Xel ha in the Mayan about 3.5 years ago. We ate breakfast, snorkeled, floated down the river, and swam with the dolphins. I enjoyed it. According to my dad (who has snorkeled many times in many places) the snorkeling was not that great. I found that the only place that had a lot of fish was around the feeders and those fish were not all too colorful or magnificent. I only snorkeled in one area of the park though. About a year ago, i snorkeled out in the ocean in Jamaica and was much more impressed. Floating down the river was, for me, the best part. It was very fun and interesting, i saw huge turtles and colored fish, as well there was cool things to do as you floated down- such as cliff jumping and a rope thing. I also enjoyed swimming with the dolphins, although the water that they were enclosed in and we had to swim in was disgusting. I believe Xel ha would be good for all those of various ages in your group. Overall, I don't think i would go back but it was a great experience!

    Hope this helps :)

    Xcaret for sure because of the underground cave swim. But I like Xel-ha also. I guess if I had to choose it would be Xcaret.

    Xel-Ha and Xcaret are both family oriented echo theme parks.

    Some people would choose Xcaret and others would choose Xel-Ha.

    The best way to find out is to visit both of them:

    a whole day in Xel-Ha and another in Xcaret.

    There are several activities for any age in the two eco parks, so you will have fun in both of them anyway.

    Enjoy!

    Well I like Xel-Ha but that is natural. Xcaret not quite, but it is also nice

    So if you can go to both .. good! But if you can just one.. Definitely Xel-Ha =)
