Wheelchair reality check - Xcaret vs Chichen Itza accessibility

Let me be honest about Quintana Roo accessibility because tourism sites lie about what 'wheelchair accessible' actually means.

Good: Hotel Zone beaches have wooden walkways at Playa Delfines and Forum Beach. Interactive Aquarium has ramps throughout. Xcaret park has excellent accessibility including wheelchair paths to underground rivers.

Challenging: Most cenotes require steep stairs. Chichen Itza has some accessible viewing platforms but can't reach main pyramid. Downtown Cancún sidewalks are potholed disaster zones.

Transport: R1/R2 Hotel Zone buses are wheelchair accessible. Taxis challenging - request accessible vehicle through hotel concierge.

Cancún beats other Mexican beach destinations for accessibility, but don't trust general 'accessible' claims without specific details about stairs and surface conditions.
