General Comments
We returned home from the Moon Palace Golf and Spa Resort in Cancun on April 28th, 2006. It was super fabulous. I can't believe that folks would actually stand in line for a buffet (we call them hog bars in Nashville) when there were 4 star al a carte restaurants with plenty of seating available. Come on people; throw on a pair of Dockers and Polo shirt and you are in. Others packed a Styrofoam box and rushed back to their rooms because they hadn't powdered their cheeks. The oriental and Italian restaurants in the golf club were our most favorites. The Brazilian and poolside grill were our least favorites.

Sunrise is definitely a plus over Nuzic, and yes it appeared that members do tend to get the preferred rooms. Isle Mjures and snorkel diving are a must. Do not plan on going to the bullfighting unless you are into eating fresh kill. Ask for you favorite top shelf liquor, skip the limes, don't eat fruit with the skin on, avoid ice, drink two bottles of wine with every dinner, tip freely, and you will do just fine.

These folks will stand on their head and spin to make their guests stays a pleasant one. Don't be late for the nightly shows since they last about 30 minutes. Feel free to leave a comment with and specific questions.

Hi, We are planning to get married and stay at the Moon Palace at the end of this month but we have just received a letter from our travel agent pre-warning us that there may be building works taking place during our stay as they are planning to extend the Moon Palace Hotel. I was wondering whether you had seen any building works during your stay and how bad they actually were?
Kind Regards. Alison.

Allison, The only construction we noticed last month was the glass elevators being installed on Sunrise, matress piles as hurricane swap outs wrap up, nad minor constriction on Nuzic by the putt putt course. I strongly recommend staying at the golf villa's. Nicer, newest, quiet, and quaint. Charlie in Nashville, TN
