Absolutely love this resort!

This resort ticks all of my boxes. Very clean, great food, grounds are beautiful, staff are wonderful. Didn't want to come back. This was my third time at this resort. Had a spectacular view of the gulf from our balcony.

Great Family Resort

We just returned from a week at the Moon Palace Sunrise and it was a great week! Rooms were clean, grounds were clean, LOTS of food options. It was easy to get reservations for dinner using their App. Water slides, mini golf, basketball, pickleball, tennis, FlowRider at Sunrise and at the Grand, which is no charge. Buffets were a bit smaller than I expected but there are so many à la cartes, it was never super busy.

Facilities not too good

The food is amazing, but the facilities are not great. We were to have 3 rooms with either 1 king bed or 2 queen beds, but we had 2 rooms with 2 king bed and the other with one queen bed which was not what we agreed. Also, we stayed in a place called Sombreto and on the 2nd floor. The elevator was did not work throughout our 7 night there and all our luggage's were carried by hand by the staff. We were told the elevator has been down for quite a while. The staff were great and nice. Sometim [... read more]es, room cleaning does not provide enough towels. The Airconditioning was not cooling even after coming to fix it. Too much emphasis on selling membership. Not a place to go for a 2nd visit.

Sunrise rooms ol

Dinning good but sunrise rooms stink they need to clean rooms properly and renovate them dining very good location very good don’t go to presentations waste of time transport very good wide variety of restaurants

Amazing trip with my kids!

We stayed at the Moon Palace Cancun resort fo 5 days and my kids (13, 24, and 25) were active and entertained the whole time. We had a day trip to Playa del Carmen and another day trip to Xenses and Xplore Fuego which were fantastic, and no trouble with transportation to and from the airport and resort to our day trips with reliable taxi service. My kids tried every pool and activity and all the restaurants. Great staff and service, and No complaints from my kids who want to do a repeat of the s [... read more]ame vacation.

Fantastic Resort

Luxurious Room with a great view of Gardens and Oceean. Great Bars located everywhere from lobby to beach pools. Great Pool with both party and quieter areas. Fantastic Dining experiences with many choices. Great Golf at the Attached Nicklaus courses. What more could you want?

A wonderful family stay at Moon Palace Nizuc!

This hotel has more that anyone should ever need to experience a week of pure rest and relaxation. We stayed at the Nizuc location and I am very happy that we did. It was less busy than the Sunrise location yet we were still able to access all of the amenities of both locations. The pools are wonderful and there was always lots of room to find loungers and lots of clean towels available. The beach was a bit of a disappointment as the ocean was quite murky - but that could have been the time of y [... read more]ear we attended (January). The service was impeccable - drinks and food by the pool all day and the buffet had plenty of options of healthy, good quality food. The rooms were fine but the layout is a bit inconvenient. We had no issue as a family of four having enough room to feel comfortable but the rooms are a bit dated but very clean. Our ocean view room was a very nice perk and it was conveniently located close to the pool and Nizuc lobby. To secure restaurant reservations you need to be proactive and call in early to make sure room is available. We were a group of 13 and as a larger family and we were able to try most of the places and all spots were a pleasant experience. The amenities at Sunrise were very fun for our two children (8 and 6) namely the Wired Lounge and the Playroom. The hotel entertainment staff also had great events going on daily such as soccer on the beach and face painting. The hotel met all of our expectations and we made lasting memories.

Great vacation and resort!

We all had a great time at Moon Palace! Stayed at Sunrise and convenient location to the beach and restaurants. Resort was clean and service was great. Brenda was so helpful with booking us the vacation and giving us great advice. Thanks!!!

Nice week in the sun

The Moon Palace Sunrise was a nice resort. Lots of amenities, very clean, loads of food and drink choices, staff were unfailingly helpful and lovely, without being intrusive. It also had an app, which made it easy to order anything you needed, find your way around the resort, etc. The hotel itself is about 4km from the road, behind a gate, so if it is sun you are seeking, this is a great place to stop. If you want to experience the Mexican culture, I'd probably choose somewhere else. We did  [... read more]not try out the spa or golf course, but they looked nice enough from when we walked by. Things to watch out for: - long lineups for food, and for the few restaurants where you needed a reservation, they weren't easy to get. It requires booking through the resort app, and most times we looked, there weren't any times available. - expect this is at all resorts, but the hoarding of loungers around the pool starts at 7am - people throw a towel or sunscreen on a lounger, then disappear for a few hours, so by 8am, it can be challenging to find a couple loungers together. There are some areas if you pay more (I think they were called Elite or Diamond members), where some seats were reserved. - after you check-in, or if you approach guest relations with a question, you are going to get pushed hard to attend a presentation at the Grand, which is another resort on the Moon Palace grounds. They will try to entice you with resort credits and/or a day pass to The Grand (usually USD $99), but it does require you to listen to a sales pitch. I recommend reading the fine print, as in "how long does the presentation actually take our of your day", and how much of the resort credits can you use for an activity, and what tax do I have to pay out of my own pocket to use them - believe it was a 16% tax on resort credits) - we booked two tours through there: for the first, the transit didn't show up, and it took the hotel nearly an hour to sort out an alternate transit. And we had to figure out our own transit back - the hotel paid for it, but we had to organize it. For the second, the tour to the Chichen Itza ruins, it was an 11 hour tour, and 8 hours was spent on the bus (whereas the person selling the tour said it was closer to 5 hours) - did not feel the Chichen Itza tour was good value for money.

This place was amazing!

Beautiful grounds! Excellent food! Staff was great! Amenities were fantastic! Standard room was on the smaller side but adequate. Lots of activities and entertainment for the young and old. Would definetly stay here again.

Disappointing. Not what it use to be.

This was my 12th trip to Moon Palace but my first since Jan. 2020 (for obvious reasons). What a major disappointment in almost every conceivable way. Though the cost of going has gone up approx. 50% since 2020, everything from service, room essentials, food, golf, amenities etc. has gone down hill. From blaring music at a wedding that shook our windows (from 200M away) until 11pm. Both wheelchairs we were issued came with severely under inflated tires. Our room did not get cleaned one day and th [... read more]e beer we requested was left on top of the dresser instead of being put into the fridge and the coffee was not replaced. The golf used to be included by redeeming "Resort credits" now its $250USD per person before 7am. The course is in great condition (as hardly anyone plays it) but the sand (mud) traps are abysmal. Unfortunately, as much as I use to love Moon Palace, I will never go there again and would never recommend it to friends like I use to.

Very nice 5 star hotel

Huge complex There are 3 resorts that you can access the Sunrise, Nizuc and the Grand. We were able to got to their lobbys and have drinks or food no problem even though we were in Nizuc and the Grand is a diamond elite. Hotel is very clean, staff is nice, food was excellent, pool area you have staff that brings you food and drinks to your chairs. The only bad thing is that there is lots of seaweed on the beach and the first 5 feet in the ocean. We stayed pretty much by the pools area due to t [... read more]his. You have an APP for Palace resorts that you can download on your phone, you can reserve the restaurant's from there, you can order room service, you can order coffer and etc and have it prepared ahead of time and grab and go at the coffee shop. You can also order extra towels, drinks, bed and even toothpaste or toothbrush to your room all free of charge. There are shuttles to go from lobby to lobby (bus). There are also 8 passenger golf carts that bring you almost everywhere in the resorts. There is a kids pool area in the Sunrise, a surfing wave pool in Sunrise that is free. There are watersides in the Grand but these you have to pay per day. There were live bands playing songs by the pool from around 1PM to 3PM in the Nizuc that played 80s and 90s music which was nice instead of the dj music. Overall very nice and highly recommend.

Nice Resort

The Moon Palace Sunrise is a lovely resort. The food is very good and the staff were amazing and very accommodating. It was difficult to get dinner reservations and the rooms are lovely but small for more than 3 people.

Not impressed for a 5 star

Resort is great, lots of food options, pools are nice. However rooms are dated and small, no sound proofing, you can clearly hear people walking past at night. I had to complain twice about loud drunk groups of people. I would stay at the Grand Moon palace, a newer hotel, rooms are spacious and modern.

Awesome Stay!

The food at the Al a carte restaurants was amazing. We ate at the buffet once and was ok. The Starbuck-like coffee bar with unlimited gelato, truffles, chocolates, cake, fresh sandwiches, crepes was a favorite for my spouse and son. The resort is huge but we didn't mind walking. There are a lot of trolleys. Rooms were quite clean and no musty smell. Internet was solid throughout the resort. Pool and bars were great. Pools are beautifully designed. We ordered room service quite a few times si [... read more]nce we have a toddler, it was definitely a perk. Only turn off was the number of times the promotional people kept calling our room after requesting not to in person.

Beautiful resort!

A great resort where you get 3 in 1. Lots to do for the kids, restaurants were wonderful.. or favorite was Tavola at the Grand. Nizuc pool on the west side was out favorite with a waterslide and swim up bar. Sunrise was ultimately the best, better than the Grand in our opinion. Rings are small. We were a family of 4, with 2 double beds. Hubby and I did not fit in the double, so I slept with a kid each night. Finally got a rollaway on night 4, which helped, but no space to put i [... read more]t. The Grand isn't so grand..a lot of people coming and going and the other 2 buildings were just as beautiful. The waterpark wasn't as much of a hot as we expected. One waterslide you had to have a 2some, and another was down for the week. Staff were amazing..friendly and informative.

Wonderful experience!

This resort is large, well maintained and focused on catering to its guests. The food was high quality. We found many of the a la cart restaurants to be the best we have ever enjoyed. The staff were all kind and attentive. Rooms were clean and well appointed with CHI blow dryers, flat irons and hair products! We are planning a return visit! Every staff wore their masks at all time and there was a high attention to hand sanitizing and cleanliness in general.

Fun time but my bill was wrong

We had a fun time and we like the resort but: This is George Kiriakidis from Mike Rowland’s group. Please note that after checking my Visa statement, I have been charged multiple times for the golf carts. I was staying in room 7218 with Mr Ed Doyle. Our total bill should have been $410 US and it was split in two between us. Ed got charged $210 which is correct I got charged $210 two times ( incorrect ) I also got charged another four times $84 for a total of $336 US ( in [... read more]correct ). Can you please help me reverse the all those extra charges?

Decent vacation

We had a pretty good time at this resort. Overall not a bad vacation but we were missing some things to make it amazing. Pros: nice resort, good drinks, lots of space around the pools, decent food at the restaurants, 24hr room service + bistro. Access to the grand with a day pass was also a great experience to use their facilities such as the day club + water park. Cons: terrible service at most of the a la carte restaurants - dinner one night took almost 3 hrs from start to finish with 1/2  [... read more]hr to 45 mins in between courses, resort was very busy and at times the bars were so busy the bartenders wouldn’t even acknowledge you until you were waiting for 10-15 mins, many areas of the resort need maintenance - cracks in the paint in the rooms, cracked and missing tiles in the pools, small things that haven’t been maintained over time, the beach was probably the worst part of this resort. I know this area has a problem with seaweed that renders the beach unusable, it does have a strong smell and when we made our way down within 30 seconds we were covered head to toe in sand fleas, not a great experience there. There is also not great night life and it gets very boring at points. If I were to go back I would spend the extra money to stay at the grand side, where the facilities are better maintained and there is more to do.

A True 5 Star

Moon Palace is the place to be if you want to be treated like royalty. The staff go above and beyond to take cate if their guests. The food, grounds, pools, entertainment and service was the best my family and I have ever seen. We highly recommend Moon Palace. Fingers crossed we will make it back one day.
