I love all these guides! It is a lot of detailed info for my trip.
Great website! We love Playa de Carmen and have been several times. We have planned a trip to Hotel Xcaret for our company but due to Covid-19 have had to move it from June to another date. We are thinking of first week of October 2020. Thoughts on that time of year or is there a better time you would suggest? We usually go to Mexico in April and it has always been beautiful.
Hello
October is usually very nice weather. We can have some rain but usually not a big issue. The end of the month is popular time because of Halloween, Day of the Dead and Hanal Pixan. So early October might be less busy and a good time to fit in your trip. We guess you have seen our video of the hotel? It is a really great resort! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-X0aJzqx1uk&t=2s
