Anyone been to the Moon Palace in Cancun MX?

Question

I'm going next month and would appreciate any input. Thanks!

Answer 1

I am SO EXciTeD for You!!!!! I am my mate's better half and HAD to tell  you about the Moon Palace...He was there a few years ago with an old flame, and loved the trip but not the company. He was so excited to get there with ME & our other six friends(they were in a first floor two room suite & we had our own room up on the third floor.) If you can visit there with a guide & preferably someone you love, you with Definitely enjoy the huge hot tub in your room, full stocked bar for nightcaps & the big hammock on your private deck. All of the patios face the water so we tried to wake to see the colorful clouds & sunrise each morning....The most beautiful sunrises I have ever seen!! AND the rooms were just as georgous with Marble covered floors, huge round pillars, CLEAN comfy beds & a giant shower area and that was roomy enough for two and just as stunning. Five Star!!!

Go for at least a week to enjoy the flavorful buffets-try the Italian for brunch...YUM! Walk on the beach after they clear the seaweed to work off the meals-less guilt about gorging each time! I also loved the pool!!!!LAZY tanning. I am a busy mom that loved my break from reality & really loved the swim up bars & my favorite drink- Bannana Monkey. Mix it up with a White Russian for a great night....or day! WoW!!!!  We have been home a week & I am sad to not be there..       :(      

I respect the kindness & smiles of ALL the wonderful staffpeople waiting to grant your every wish! We brought $100 in singles & $80 in 2dollar bills. When you can tip, DO. They work Hard for the money & Smile & always tell you "It is a pleasure!"  

If you do not leave the resort, it will still be great. If you leave the resort (WHY??!!*?) DO listen to the advice of the staff for your own comfort&safety. We did take a shuttle to visit another Palace Resort closer to town on a rainy afternoon & ate for FREE at their buffets! NICE!!...The Palace Family makes all their visitors feel so special!! Was it the black wrist bands we wore?? Hmm.....

We will be back next January( and every year after that!!) with my 3 kids to let them also enjoy the beauty of Mexico...

*****.FYI:*** Wear high number sunscreen for a few days to start, then lower as you are there & go tanning as much as you can prior to departure. That sun is wicked. Burns are not fun so USE THE SUNSCREEN.  We saw poor stupid souls that didn't follow THAT advice!!!

I am HOOKED on the fresh, made-to-order omletes, mine  full of hot  jalepenos.Go for the fresh & spicy interesting food...You will be hooked on that and the rest of your relaxing adventure away from home.......

Wishing you a wonderful time...Lisa&Don from Chicago Burbs (yeah,at an unpleasant    --8 degrees & --25*with windchill....No. I am NOT kidding....Oh I miss the 85*+ of Cancun......) Have FUN!!!!!!!!!!!  xoxo   :)

All posters above get a thumbs up from me as I have nothing to add.  Stayed there in 2002 and had a great time!

Answer 3

My wife and I got married at the Moon Palace and could not have been more pleased. The resort is large enough and offers enough variety of food an entertainment that you never have to leave. We were there 10 days and  could have stayed another week. The other writer was right a dollar tip goes a long way.

The other great thing is the food. Being in Mexico are expectation were low, but it was great food, clean resort and excellent staff

Answer 4

Moon Palace is a great resort. The pool is the best I have been to in Mexico. The food, the staff,service and the rooms you will be very happy with. Bring some $$ to tip the staff, trust me it goes a long way in Mexico.

The only negative is the beach water, seaweed. The staff are always working hard to keep the beach area clean. Once you swim out a bit, the water gets better.

Don't get me wrong, you will still get a fantastic tan.

One thing about the Palace Resorts, you stay at one you can visit all the others. And do visit them. I hope you got some free tours with your booking. Go to Xcaret) It's worth every dollar.

Answer 5

Love Moon Palace!!!  Has an exellent choice of restaurants and there are many excursions included for free in the price.

As for the beach, may be hard to keep the seaweed away but I prefer a ppol anyway.  Only go in the ocean to snorkel or scuba dive.  Then you're far enough out it doesn't really matter.
