Moon Palace

Kayla Hall

I recently spent a week at this resort with my family, and I can confidently say that it is one of the best resorts I’ve experienced in over 10 years of traveling. We participated in a workout class led by a personal trainer named Carlos, and it was both amazing and fun. His energy and expertise truly stood out. During our stay, there was a brief issue with the water being cut off for a day, but the staff handled it seamlessly by moving us to a temporary room without any hesitation. Their responsiveness was impressive. The food was a solid 10/10, and the top shelf liquor added to the overall experience. The facilities were impeccably clean throughout our stay. The only downside was the occasional unpleasant seaweed smell at certain times of the day, which is beyond the resort's control. Overall, I had no desire to leave the resort because everything we needed was right there. I highly recommend this resort for a fantastic family getaway!

We stayed at Moon Palace in the Sunrise building for our honeymoon for 5 days, and overall, we left disappointed. While there were a few things we enjoyed, the negatives unfortunately outweighed the positives. The good: the entertainment by the pool was lively and enjoyable, the drinks were solid, and the lobby area was beautiful with a pleasant aroma throughout. Those small touches made the first impression feel promising. However, once we settled in, the issues quickly became clear. The food was consistently a letdown – untraditional, served cold, and simply not what we expected from a resort of this caliber. Room service was another frustration; every time we ordered, the wait was excessively long, whether it was food or just basic requests. We were also given “resort credits” that sounded like a perk, but in reality, they were nearly impossible to use since they only applied to very specific things. The pools, which should have been a highlight, were dirty and poorly maintained. Cups, straws, and trash would sink to the bottom because people would throw them in after finishing drinks, and it didn’t seem like staff stayed on top of cleaning it. That really hurt the experience of relaxing by the pool. What made it worse is that this was our honeymoon, something we made sure to mention at check-in. We were hoping for at least a small acknowledgment or gesture, but there was nothing—not even a note in the room. For a resort that markets itself as luxury, that lack of attention to detail felt especially disappointing. Overall, while Moon Palace Sunrise had a few enjoyable aspects, the service, food quality, and overall cleanliness left us feeling like this was far from a special honeymoon experience. It was okay for a first-time visit, but we would not come back and certainly wouldn’t recommend it to others.

My wife and I booked a family vacation 0f 5 rooms total this August 2025. We booked 5 months before arrivals. We left our house at 4:00 AM to the airport, we travel with 3 kids, age 2, 4 and 6. We got to the hotel at 4:00 Pm, the process to check in was so long, when we got to the end they told us, they don’t have any room ready for us, we needs to wait… now the kids was so hungry, due the long process of checking, it was already 5pm, the girls are crying, daddy I am hungry.. look for food in the resort, no food until 6pm, not even a slice of pizza… horrible experience. All the restaurants are closed. We got 2 flys, my mother and others family was on an early fly.. they got to the hotel around 1:30 pm.. no room ready for them either, I felt so bad for my mom and my aunt, the are over 70 and have knees issues.. they were so tired and hungry.. due the long process of checking, they also missed the lunch. The first group finally have a room at 7:45pm and is at 8:45 pm, every time you go to the front desk, you need to re explain everything to the new person who called you, nothing in the system registered our situation We use to have at least 2 vacations a year, we never had this kind of experience at any resort. The worst, next day, a part of the ceiling felt down on my room, reported it to the public relations staff, they offered us a gift card $25 to use the spa.. that was so disrespectful.. we have 3 little kids we couldn’t even use the spa. Short history.. we forced ourselves to stay there because of the kids, we left the hotel, no one not even excuse themselves. This is the worst resort I have never been, if you don’t want to waist your money, never book at this hotel.

Our family absolutely adores Moon Palace, especially our kiddos. This is our 3rd visit. Since they made the honor roll, we asked where they wanted to go, and without a doubt, they said moon palace Mexico. We love the service, and kids love the game rooms and kids club. The food was good and we enjoyed eating at both resorts. Please note: You'll be asked to do a 90 min presentation upon arrival after check-in. You can say NO, but if you do decide to go, please note that they will do EVERYTHING in their power to get you to buy even when they say there is no obligation to buy. They will drop the prices to get you to commit. Even when we were walking out to get the shuttle, the rep was still asking us to make a deal after we spoke with 3 people upstairs... a bit ANNOYING, but know that you can say NO and stand firm on that unless you wanna buy. We went to the grand and were not impressed at all. The kids like the pool and play room, but we all prefer the food at Nicuz and Sunrise, we felt it was way better, especially the buffet. Pizza is better at The Grand, though. Overall, we will definitely return to Moon Palace but only to Nicuz or Sunrise.

We had a wonderful stay at Moon Palace Cancún overall! The people and staff are incredibly friendly, and the pools are fantastic—perfect for relaxing and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. However, we did have an unfortunate incident where money was taken from our room. While the staff conducted a security check, they were not very kind and made us feel like it was our fault. We wish they had handled the situation with more empathy, especially since we were just reporting the issue. A tip for future guests: always lock up your valuables in the safe! Despite this, the resort is great, and the people made our trip memorable. Just wish the staff had been more supportive during that incident.
