Aside from the same privileges as the other guests that availed the All-Fun Inclusive™ package, the guests at Casa de los Artistas have an exclusive access to the additional perks, such as:

A Dedicated Art Workshop:

Immersion in Mexican art: Casa de los Artistas introduces guests to the world of Mexican art through a variety of means, including original artwork in the suites, a curated art book, and painting workshops:

Tip: The workshops are limited only to 10 Casa de los Artistas guests per session so make sure to arrive early since you can’t reserve ahead of time. The workshops are available everyday, except on Saturdays. 

Private Rooftop Bar and Pool:

Arguably, one of the best pools at Hotel Xcaret Arte is the one at Casa de Los Artistas which is only for guests of that suite. You have two pool sections with a see through tunnel that is stunning. You also get views of the whole resort and the ocean from this pool and it probably provides one of the best views. 

On top of that it has its own little cabana beds as well as a casa artistas only food and beverage program. While all over the resort they place a strong emphasis on everyone having incredible service and attention, since it’s a more exclusive area, you get almost immediate service!

Kibi-Kibi Restaurant:

If you read reviews about Hotel Xcaret Arte, one of the most popular restaurants people mention is Kibi-Kibi. This Yucatecan-style Lebanese restaurant stands out for its incredible cuisine including breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It’s such a unique cuisine and fusion that makes it a special perk for staying at Casa de Los Artistas.

Your Own Butler:

Casa de los Artistas offers professional butler service that attends to each guests’ individual needs and requests. This ended up being such a time saver for us. Whenever we wanted to change our reservations for dinner or for a park, we could simply text our butler on Whatsapp instead of having to walk to a help desk. Especially when it came harder to get dinner reservations, it helped to have our butler helping us out.

Additionally, we were able to ask questions about anything we might need. It was such a big convenience that really enhanced our overall experience .

Access to the Other Side of the Resort + Restaurants:

While most guests of Hotel Xcaret Arte can only visit the Arte side of the resort. However, Casa de los Artistas guests get access to both sides. For us this was nice for adding in some extra walking around the resort and seeing more of it’s beauty. I liked all of the different bridges and getting to hike up the giant circular pyramid. 

But this real treat to me was getting to have brunch at Las Cuevas on Sunday! This is an absolutely insane brunch with every time of food imaginable! You ge to dine on high end sushi from fish caught that day, crab legs, all types of Mexican cuisine, and at least 30 different types of desserts (I’m going to write a guide on just the Las Cuevas Brunch because it is so incredible). 

We didn’t get the chance to have the other restaurants on the Mexico side, but it was definitely nice to know we could have tried some if we got bored with our current options.

Other Special Features:

• Private amenities: For a more personalized and private stay, guests have access to a private gym, library, and boutique.
• Best views: It is the closest suite to the Caribbean Sea, and this suite will surely provide you with the breathtaking ocean views.
• Special wristband: Guests will receive a special wristband as soon as they arrive! This wristband is made up of gold design with a little hand, and can provide the guests with the exclusive Casa de los Artistas amenities.

Once you get a taste for the upgrades of Casa de Los Artistas it’s hard to go back.
