My husband and I stayed at Sun Palace for our honeymoon and it couldn't have been more wonderful! The entertainment staff was great and a lot of fun and the night shows were much better than I expected. The staff was always more than willing to please us. Because we were on our honeymoon we received a honeymoon package from... More

Based on the reviews we were expecting quite a bit more than we received although there were certainly some great aspects to the holiday. We had upgraded to concierge before leaving as didn`t want to risk not being able to use palace dollars, but I have to say that this is the poorest concierge level I have ever stayed on.... More

I always enjoy such complete reviews as yours. They give me many pointers on my patrons' preferences and our areas of opportunity. I hope to have you as return guests soon. You will find the concierge services much improved. While I understand the wine price issue I do have to say that imported wine in Mexico has very heavy duties.... More

The Sun Palace was nice. The front desk staff was backed up quite a few times and you had to wait long to speak to guest services. One of the front desk managers was arrogant and could use a few lessons in hospitality! We did not like the fact that you are pushed to go listen to a sales pitch... More

Although I would say we didn't do such a great job in your case I do thank you for a good evaluation. If you can give me a description of this person who was unsavory I will take care of this, for which I profusely apologize. I hope this will not deter you from returning and giving me the personal...

This was our fourth stay at a Palace Resorts, second at the Sun Palace. The service and quality was just not as good as it has been in the past. The biggest difference was the food. The Italian Restaurant was very good, however we reordered the "special" appetizer of the night and it came out different than the first time.... More

Nothing worries me more than when one of my guests feels the quality is lacking. You were quite ample in your description of the issues you found and definitely, some are intolerable and merit my personal involvement. I do take your comments very seriously and they are invaluable. Rest assured they will be addressed. Thank you for a very eye-opening... More

We stayed from Jan 26 - Feb 2, 2012 and we already miss it. The family are members of the Palace resort, only recently having joined last year.

A pleasure reading your review. Concierge is becoming very popular and well liked. That is good! I promise to look into the steak issue. Isla Mujeres is also my favorite getaway for real peace and quiet...being the island it is the "Isleños" Islanders, are fiercely proud of their traditions and have managed to keep their territory in a very unique...

Firstly, we liked that this resort was only 15 minutes away from the airport. On arrival, we upgraded our room using 475 resort credits of the 1500 allotted. This allowed us to get 2 X 25min massages, a romantic dinner on the beach, aromatherapy, pillow menu, 24 hr room service (including chocolate cake at 1:00am!) With the remaining credits, we... More

Couldn't have described it better myself! You covered every point and it is enormously gratifying that you were satisfied. Comment on the red flags: They do mean: Do not swim. Before any other consideration your safety comes first. We all wish for picture perfect ocean but the ocean has a mind of its own, especially when we get the cold... More

We just returned from a wonderful vacation at Sun Palace, Cancun. It is located at the southern end of Cancun so is far enough away to feel very private. The beach is beautiful and the resort has "over-the-top" service. It began with the manager at check-in (I forgot to get his name) and he was great. We would also like... More

Staff in the hotel are WONDERFUL!!! Unfortunately management has really gone down hill. All inclusive is no longer all inclusive. Included wine list has shrunk and they want $70/bottle for wines we buy at home for $5. We tried to take advantage of a special promotion but the extra credits were never credited. 2 days before departure, the extra 500... More
