Like I said, there's nothing at the port. The only way to get to
Xcaret is to take one of the State sponsored (oops, ship sponsored)
busses or a taxi. And getting a taxi back to the ship is problematic
unless you make arrangements beforehand.

The port effectively bans "walk off" excursion sales and I don't think
people like Shoretrips even have anything there, although I'm just too
lazy to look right now.
