Hotel Xcaret Arte
Playa del Carmen, Mexico
Woohoo!! Pack your bags we’re going to Cancun, Mexico!!
We are so very excited to have you join us for our wedding week[end]. We’ve chosen to stay at the stunning resort, Hotel Xcaret Arte, and we strongly encourage you to stay with us!
To keep things simple for everyone, we’ve hired a groups travel agent - Allison Slater of Tailored Travel Experiences to help all of our guests arrange accommodations. She’s already secured special event group discounted rates for us at this resort.
Hi there! Connor & Caitlin have pre-reserved rooms for you with a special, set group rate for the travel window of February 19-22, 2026.
Guests may extend their stay, pending availability - just include that request in your reservation form if you’d like to extend your stay beyond these dates, or email Allison with your specific date & room request. (allison@ttravelex.com)
Please note that the resort requires a 3 night minimum stay for all guests.
If you’ve discussed your travel plans with family and friends, you’re ready to make a deposit and reserve your room! The room deposit of $200 per person is due on August 13, 2025, plus the cost of your chosen insurance plan (optional).
Final room payments are due by September 24, 2025.
Caitlin & Connor are working with me, Allison, of Tailored Travel Experiences to make this trip fun and stress-free for you! Please read all of the important information below before completing the reservation form at the bottom of this page so you can join them for their big day!
Keep an eye out for emails from me after you’ve booked your stay. I’ll be emailing reminders, updates, important travel information, and final travel documents between now and the wedding, all from the email address: allison@ttravelex.com (it’s a good idea to ‘whitelist’ my email address by adding me to your contacts)
We’re SO glad you’re going to join Connor & Caitlinfor their beautiful wedding in Mexico!
Almost - Hotel Xcaret Arte is basically an adults-only resort. It is for 16 +.
Unfortunately, guests 15 and under are not allowed on property.
Minimum stay is 3 nights.
The maximum number of nights with this discounted rate is typically 7 nights, but if you wish to stay longer, just contact me! I’ll be happy to help make your longer stay happen. Kindly note that 8+ night stays, or stays that fall outside of our specific date range of discounted rates will be subject to resort availability and the prevailing rates.
We recommend arriving no later than February 20, 2026 - the day before the wedding. In the case of any travel issues or delays, it would truly stink to miss Caitlin & Connor ’s big day!
As long as you check in at least the day before the wedding, are present for the wedding itself, and hit the 3 night minimum requirement, you’re good to go!
If you wish to come earlier or stay later, that’s no problem at all. Just include your requested dates of stay and chosen room category in an email to me (Allison), and I’ll confirm availability with the resort and let you know!
Just keep in mind that dates outside the room block may have different rates than the group rates listed for our date range below. So if you decide to check in on a date OTHER than February 19, 2026, the rates for your dates might be different than the rates listed for Feb. 19-22 you see below.
Room blocks mean that Connor & Caitlin have paid a deposit to pre-reserve rooms on your behalf for your group. They’ve signed a contract with the resort, and they’ve committed to filling a minimum number of rooms.
ONLY rooms booked with Tailored Travel Experiences will count toward this contract and the couple’s group block.
The resort has a minimum 3 night stay within these dates, but you can absolutely come earlier or stay later, as long as there’s resort availability.
We have reserved several different room types or room categories for you to choose from, which you can see below the FAQ.
We recommend two people per room for optimal comfort and pricing, but check out the room descriptions below for more details about how many guests can be accommodated in each room category.
Please note that an all-inclusive stay is quite different from a regular hotel stay, as there is per-person pricing (due to all of the food/beverage, and other amenities that are included in your stay).
A non-refundable deposit of $200 is due by August 13, 2025 for guests staying the February 19-22, 2026. Note: A larger deposit may be required for guests who wish to extend their stay; this will be determined on a case-by-case basis, and will be communicated to the guest before making a payment. (this is just the way Xcaret Arte works with room blocks)
Please note that all deposits are non-refundable unless you purchase insurance at the time of deposit.
If you do purchase insurance, it will be your responsibility to file a claim and await their decision, should you wish to try for a refund later on. And note that the travel insurance company makes all decisions about claims and refunds; neither Allison nor Tailored Travel Experiences has any say in these decisions.
Yes! When you book your room, your balance will be split into two due dates:
First, your deposit will be due at the time of booking, which must be no later than August 13, 2025.
Later, your Final Balance will be due by September 24, 2025.
While those hard deadlines are in place, you are welcome to make a payment absolutely anytime by visiting this link: https://tailoredtravelexperiences.com/make-a-payment
Please note that late payments may result in late fees or full cancellation of your reservation. Please see the terms and conditions on your invoice for more details.
Caitlin & Connor reserved 45 rooms for the group, but only certain numbers of each category you see below.
In order to get the room category you really want, we suggest making a deposit ASAP!! Once our allotted rooms sell out, we may not be able to secure any more in that category or at this rate. (based on resort availability and prevailing rates).
If you have any specific requests or wishes (certain rooms, specific dates, etc.), we suggest that you make your deposit as soon as possible!
We highly encourage you to stay at this resort with Connor & Caitlin. All wedding activities will take place at this resort, and the whole group will be around for a week[end] of fun!
If you stay elsewhere, you will have to pay for a day pass or wedding pass to visit the resort just for the wedding, starting at $125. Those wedding passes are subject to availability, and we would hate for you to miss out on the wedding! Additionally, some resorts have started implementing a no-outside-guests-for-weddings policy; and it’s possible that our resort will implement such a policy between now and our wedding date.
To play it safe (and have the most fun!), we recommend staying on-site!
Please book your own flights to Cancun, Mexico (CUN airport). Flights costs are NOT included in the reservation you’ll make here with Tailored Travel Experiences.
We encourage you to use any credit card points, airline miles, or your favorite booking method for flights so you can get the best itinerary and the best deal possible.
Allison will arrange your transportation to and from the airport. Just be sure to add transfers to your reservation, and to submit your flight information via the form provided by or before December 17, 2025.
Included in your room rate is the Round Trip Xcaret Shuttle. This shuttle comes to the Cancun (CUN) Airport approximately every half hour, waits for as many guests as possible to board, and then heads to the Xcaret properties (there are 3, including your resort, Hotel Xcaret Arte).
The Xcaret Shuttle will be shared by whoever else happens to arrive at the airport at a similar time. Also, your shuttle will likely make stops along the way before taking you to Hotel Xcaret Arte to check in.
Your return trip back to the airport for your departure from Mexico will look very similar; the shuttle will wait for everyone to get on at your resort, it may make stops along the way, then it will take you to the Cancun airport.
If you would like to upgrade to private transportation (also known as a "transfer"), there are several options available to you, which you can select inside the reservation form at the bottom of this page.
These private transfer options are typically just for your travel party (the person/people you fly with). But if you are going to arrive at the same time as your friends and want to share a shuttle, that is doable as well. Please just let Allison know which travelers you would like to include in your ground transportation in the "notes" section of the reservation form at the bottom of this page. And then be sure to book your flights together, so that everyone will truly arrive together to be able to use the private transfer.
Please keep in mind that each type of transportation shown lists the maximum number of passengers allowed per vehicle; so please choose a vehicle that can accommodate your travel party.
If you have any questions about these options, feel free to email Allison with any questions or concerns!
