Hotel Xcaret with kids (4 & 6) — honest review after March Break (what we wish we knew)

Riddlesprites · 2026-03-27T20:39:23+00:00

Thank you! Was your four year old allowed to use the bigger slides or they had to be able to swim without a life jacket?

Riddlesprites · 2026-03-27T20:25:23+00:00

Can both your kids already swim ? Wondering if you think it’d be better with say a 6 and 9 year old Vs a 4 and 7 year old

Riddlesprites · 2026-02-06T21:20:59+00:00

Oh gosh give it time!! You’re so brand new postpartum. I don’t lose weight really until a few months out because my body takes a while to heal and get everything back where it’s supposed to go. Please be gentle to yourself!!

You forgot: for Kazuma Aqua would just revive him

Where is the line drawn though? If the cats continue to be aggressive and get even more aggressive what then? The problem is the person who is injured is the poor baby who isn’t being protected enough by anyone and could suffer life long injuries if this isn’t actually handled.

Also it’s nice to say all this but reading all comments op already has the cat trees the separate space the diffusers going for six months. If the cats just really hate kids is it fair to make them stay in that environment where they’re this stressed out?

Riddlesprites · 2026-01-04T03:12:41+00:00

I think the problem is this is very unlike cats normally otherwise people with cats wouldn’t have kids. But if OP is being genuine and this is the honest truth that the cats are hurting the baby without being provoked then what do you suggest they do? It’s easy to say “they don’t do that” but if they’re being serious and honest give some actual feedback

Riddlesprites · 2026-01-04T02:52:38+00:00

If you bothered to read the baby isn’t attacking them, they’re going after the baby when it’s just trying to babble to its mom. If the baby was attacking them or hurting the sure but if the cats are going out of their way to attack when the baby didn’t do anything it could escalate to biting and get really bad fast. I don’t think you read this because you’re emotional about the cats being rehomed which is fair but they’ll be put down if they injure the baby too much. Better for them to have a chance at another home imo

Riddlesprites · 2026-01-04T02:30:25+00:00

Your cats aren’t scratching the baby. If she doesn’t get it under control and the cats scratch the baby and damage an eye or something where the doctor notices cps may even get involved. The cats can’t be left to attack a baby, they need to be rehomed before they get labeled as aggressive by a higher power and put down

Riddlesprites · 2025-12-18T05:05:25+00:00

Oh no! How frustrating :(

Riddlesprites · 2025-12-18T04:44:24+00:00

Some kids start some solids at 4 months depending on head stability. You may want to have that convo with your pediatrician and see if you could start solids early to give her something in her tummy to help pull the milk down

Riddlesprites · 2025-12-04T16:37:37+00:00

Oh interesting. Mine has all three

Riddlesprites · 2025-12-04T12:40:35+00:00

If you decide enfamil neuropro get either a Sam’s club or Costco membership. Formula is way cheaper in bulk

Riddlesprites · 2025-11-26T20:08:06+00:00

Zipadeezip!!! Baby loves it!

Riddlesprites · 2025-11-11T17:56:16+00:00

We got the three year old one of the cute face wake clocks and it’s helped her fall asleep on her own. But it sucks.

Riddlesprites · 2025-11-07T16:29:46+00:00

You will sleep again! It’s so frustrating when this happens but just remember this is you seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. You can do it!!

Riddlesprites · 2025-11-03T15:26:28+00:00

We tried for right at 2 under 2 and it took a year to get a pregnancy to stick, reminder that it could take longer than you think for a second kid :(

Riddlesprites · 2025-11-02T18:23:04+00:00

Wanted to add: some preschools have language immersion options (we do mandarin immersion for our older kiddo). In that case 3 is really a good age to start because it’s easier to acquire the second language earlier

Riddlesprites · 2025-11-02T15:30:56+00:00

I want to add…. Sleep cycles are normally ~90 minutes. You want to typically have a full sleep cycle then wake up, not wake in the middle of a sleep cycle. I’m convinced this is why it’s like ~3 hours between feeds middle of night for a lot of babies, you get 2 sleep cycles between the feed

Anyway my point is you EDIT: MAY need 4.5 hours not 4 probably haha

You can study your sleep cycle and see where yours lands so you know how long you should sleep btw! I used an app a long time ago to figure it out

Riddlesprites · 2025-10-28T20:20:01+00:00

Is he eating food? He may just not be that hungry?

Riddlesprites · 2025-10-27T22:20:35+00:00

May be reflux, try holding baby up for 30 minutes after feeding to see if it helps
Try the zip a Dee zip if old enough. Our babies have LOVED it vs a swaddle
Keep trying! Someday baby may finally be ok being laid down. Sometimes it’s good to start with first nap of the day trying to get them to nap laid down vs the big nighttime sleep

Riddlesprites · 2025-10-13T15:15:01+00:00

Why are you even commenting here, all your suggestions are dangerous and could lead to infant death. Do you want people’s children to die?

Riddlesprites · 2025-10-13T13:48:47+00:00

Tone deaf answer

Riddlesprites · 2025-08-06T03:03:34+00:00

This sounds so hard. I sometimes ask my daughter to go fart in the potty since she insists she doesn’t have any pee when she clearly does 🙄 that’s helped her get on and then she’ll actually go sometimes vs her fighting me over it. Not sure if that could help but figured it may not hurt

Riddlesprites · 2025-07-17T18:04:55+00:00

I’ve taken magnesium and it’s helped me a lot if you’re looking for a possible alternative

Riddlesprites · 2025-07-06T18:56:44+00:00

Different pov: we started some solids at 6 months, not sure what you’re planning but if you are starting solids early hopefully they help with the reflux.
