    This is no minimalist hideaway – Moon Palace The Grand Cancun is an unashamed ‘maximalist’ mega-hotel packing in its own bowling alley, nightclub, and even a water park complete with lazy river, wave pool, and super-soaker slides. The children’s play zone features a neon mini golf course, bumper cars, a mirror maze, and a 3 floor labyrinth - keeping them entertained for hours! And they’ve gone gloriously over-the-top with their all-inclusive dine and drink package too, with top-shelf drinks and all restaurants included, covering fine French dining, flavourful Mexican favourites, tempting tapas, among the global menus of this luxury 5-star palace.

    Fabulous family friendly resort. Lots of great restaurants to pick from. The pools are wonderful and the pool staff are very friendly and attentive. We particularly appreciated our pool attendant Mauricio at the pool next to The Grill restaurant. He always went above and beyond, anticipating our every need.

    Muy grande el hotel, es muy tardado esperar a los carritos de transporte dentro del moon palace, pues no pasan seguido y cuando lo hacen van llenos, y si es muy grande para recorrerlo todo caminando, la animación de la alberca fue excelente muy buen servicio del personal, los toboganes y el rio lento no era mucha atracción, pues solo eran 2 toboganes, la alberca de olas no funcionó todos los días y el rio lento era muy pequeño y angosto, muy poca variedad de alimentos en el área de alberca, tenías que irte a un restaurant si quería algo mas que un ceviche o guacamole o pollo, el mejor restaurant del hotel es el de comida libanesa incluyendo su servicio al cliente, el desayuno mucha variedad pero muy tardado el servicio de preparación de huevos, creo le faltaba atención al servicio de buffet pues se encontraba muy sucio y desordenado no había quien estuviera limpiando y acomodando, el restaurante japonés una decepción total no había platillos ricos ni bien servidos y nos enfermamos del estómago toda la familia, el servicio de alimentos y atención en la cafetería fue de los mejor, muy rico todo y la atención excelente, en el spa no tenían algunos servicios pues estaban descompuestos, por lo que pagamos por un servicio a medias, en la playa no había camastros, por lo que tenías que irte con tu toalla si quería estar un rato ahí y además estaba con mucho sargazo.

    Christina and Alejandro at the Diamond pool are the absolute best. Most professional and considerate concierges on the resort. A lot of great people at the Grand but these two are the top of the list. If you are Diamond members and headed to the pool…look for these two…they will make your day.
