Offering a quiet and beautiful setting, the property is well maintained, providing an attractive environment for guests seeking relaxation. While not located in the bustling hotel zone, Moon Palace offers a serene escape, ideal for those who prefer a more isolated retreat. The grounds are beautiful and spacious, ensuring plenty of room for exploration without the hustle and bustle of city life.
For visitors who enjoy leisurely walks, the ample space around the property is favorable, though the distance from the city and popular attractions necessitates transportation for those looking to explore Cancun further. The beach had some challenges with seaweed and murky waters compared to other areas, but the magnificent pools more than compensate for a refreshing swim.
Overall, Moon Palace Cancun excels in providing a serene experience with excellent amenities, making it a top choice for travelers who prioritize proximity to the airport and enjoy a tranquil atmosphere over proximity to city attractions and vibrant beach scenes.

The breakfast experience at Moon Palace Cancun - All Inclusive offers a generally positive delight for guests.

The diversity of the offerings is appreciated, with highlights including gourmet-level desserts and excellent quality handmade cookies. Guests enjoy the varied and delicious meals, noting that breakfast and food options are available at all hours. Despite these positives, some reviews suggest that the buffet could benefit from additional variety, especially for those enjoying longer stays. There are occasional frustrations with waiting times for certain items like eggs, and some challenges with meal service. Nonetheless, the general consensus is that the breakfast options are sufficient to satisfy most palates, contributing to an enjoyable culinary experience during the stay.
Dinner
Dining at Moon Palace Cancun is a mix of highs and lows, shaped by a variety of factors. The gastronomic options are praised for their quality and taste, with many guests celebrating the excellent food and elegant dining experiences. The wide variety on offer ensures there's something to suit everyone's taste, and highlights include standout meals at the restaurant Momo and the high overall rating frequently attributed to the resort's culinary offerings.
However, navigating the reservation system can be a challenge, as securing dinner reservations proves to be difficult due to high demand. This can lead to long wait times at the restaurants that don't require bookings, sometimes over an hour, detracting from the overall dining experience. Some restaurants, notably the Indian and specific Oriental and Mexican venues, receive mixed reviews regarding their food quality and authenticity.
Despite these hurdles, guests often find that service at the restaurants is exceptional, adding a positive note to their dining experiences. The resort's buffet is also commended for its variety and presentation, contributing to the generally favorable perception of dining at Moon Palace Cancun, despite noted challenges with reservations and availability.

Families can also enjoy a range of entertainment options with playrooms for kids, jumping areas, and game rooms available.
However, some guests have noted that the hotel's rooms feel a bit outdated and would benefit from renovation. Issues with cleanliness are occasionally reported, such as remnants of previous occupants and unpleasant odors. Beds are frequently mentioned as a point of concern, being smaller than expected and sometimes uncomfortable for larger families. Additionally, the size and layout of the hotel facilities can be inconvenient, with rooms positioned far from the main lobby, and lacking ADA accessibility for certain views.
Although there are challenges, the overall property is seen as sensational, complemented by delightful aromas throughout the hotel. Despite its shortcomings, Moon Palace Cancun still offers a generally comfortable and enjoyable stay with beautiful views and ample amenities for guests.
Beds
At Moon Palace Cancun - All Inclusive, guests have varied experiences with the beds in the hotel rooms. Many guests appreciate the comfort, noting the plush softness of the beds and pillows that offer an ultra-soft, cocoon-like embrace. Some visitors find the bedding to be a highlight, describing it as superb and ensuring a restful night's sleep. However, the smaller size of the beds is a frequent concern among guests, as they often expect queen or double beds and are met with twin beds that are perceived as small and at times uncomfortable, especially for families. There are isolated complaints about hygiene, such as bedsheets being changed only upon request and pillows having an unpleasant smell. Additionally, some guests have reported minor issues with insects. While the comfort of the beds receives positive remarks, the size often does not meet guest expectations, impacting overall satisfaction with the accommodations.
Cleanliness
Moon Palace Cancun, an all-inclusive resort, receives a mix of praises and concerns regarding cleanliness. Many guests highlight the property as clean and well-maintained, with commendations for its pristine beach areas, general spaces, and pleasant staff. The facilities are often described as top-notch in terms of cleanliness and maintenance. Some visitors, however, express dissatisfaction with various aspects, including dirty common areas, unclean room conditions, and neglected pools. There are specific mentions of issues like dirty pool water, trash on the beach due to seaweed, and residual dirt or stains in guest rooms. These mixed reviews suggest that while the hotel can deliver an excellent experience for some elements of its property, there may be inconsistencies in cleanliness standards across different areas of the resort.

Attention to detail, such as keeping rooms clean and ensuring guests of all ages are engaged in activities, is frequently acknowledged.
While the overall tone regarding the staff is overwhelmingly positive, with descriptions of a fantastic team delivering top-notch service, a couple of reviews pointed out occasional issues, such as attempts at selling timeshares and some less proactive service experiences. However, these instances appear to be exceptions rather than the norm, as the majority of feedback emphasizes the dedication and kindness of the staff across all areas of the resort.
In summary, Moon Palace Cancun's staff is widely regarded as one of its standout features, contributing significantly to enjoyable vacation experiences with their excellent service and attentive demeanor.

Although the majority of feedback is positive, a few reviews mention occasional issues with cleanliness, with the pool area sometimes appearing a bit outdated and in need of maintenance. Another common observation is the challenge in finding available lounge chairs due to high demand during peak times. Additionally, while the pools consistently meet expectations, access to the beach does not compare favorably due to prevalent sargassum affecting sea conditions.
Overall, guests report a satisfying experience at Moon Palace Cancun, describing the pools as a standout feature of their stay. The large, clean pools with numerous activities contribute significantly to the enhanced vacation experience.
Beach
Moon Palace Cancun is renowned for its luxurious accommodation and all-inclusive offerings, but guests have expressed concerns about the beach experience. The beach, characterized by its darker water due to sargassum, has not met expectations for a typical Caribbean paradise. Many visitors noted the presence of seaweed, which accumulated along the shoreline and led to an unpleasant odor. While the resort deploys buoys to minimize the impact of sargassum, the beachfront remains affected, making it difficult for swimming and seaside activities. This has led to some disappointment, as the beach conditions don't stack up to those found at other nearby resorts. Despite some efforts to clean and maintain the beach, the overall experience has left guests wanting more in terms of a pristine, inviting seaside.
