Moon Palace is situated in a secluded area of Cancun’s south shore. Upon arrival, all guests are given a wristband which allows them to visit all of the Palace Resorts.

Rooms:
All rooms boast a double whirlpool tub which is located in the room itself, and not in the bathroom. I personally like a little bit more privacy in the bathtub, but if its just the two of you, who cares. The floors are a mosaic gray pearl and the walls are an off-white rustic stucco. The contemporary furniture is made of pine wood. All rooms have hair dryers, coffee makers and the standard amenities. The outlets are 110 volts. The balcony of each room has a sitting area and also a hammock. Get thirsty? The mini bar is stocked with beer, bottled water, and soft drinks. Being that this is an all-inclusive resort, you can clean out the mini bar with no extra charge.

Pools:
There are four swimming pools on the property. One is an indoor pool and another is the largest free-form pool in Cancun. I especially liked being able to place my chair in the pool and lay out where I could keep cool.

Restaurants:
Moon Palace claims they have ten restaurants and seven bars. This is just not true. There are actually four restaurants and three true bars (including the disco). La Gondola is Italian Buffet and serves breakfast. Bugambilias is more a grill style buffet (meaning continental cuisine). You can wear a swimsuit to breakfast as long as you have footwear and a t-shirt on over it. Palapa Frigata is located next to the pool and has a buffet style lunch. This is the place to get a burger and fries during the day while you are sun bathing. The last restaurant is Momo No Hana. Its your typical Oriental restaurant you will find at an all-inclusive resort.

Kids Club:
The kids club at Moon Palace is for children 4-10 years of age. They have daily activities such as building sand castles, piñata making, and swimming. The only thing you need to send with your children is swimming suit, sunscreen, and a life jacket (for those that can’t swim that well). I did not bring my children to Moon Palace, but I did observe some children having a great time playing in the indoor jungle gym. It was very clean and it is a place I would let my children stay.

Bottom Line:
I enjoyed my stay at Moon Palace. It is worth what you pay for your getaway and you will be pleased with this choice of Lodging. There are so many places to stay in the Cancun area and only YOU can decide what is best for your situation. Remember that the most expensive does not always mean the best, and if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Be sure to research any hotel before you book the trip. And last but not least, be sure you have your PASSPORT, which is now required to reenter the USA.
