When we decided to go to Cancun and take our 4 year old, I knew I had to find a family-friendly resort. This is it. Right from the start at check-in, I knew it would be a great week. It is such a beautiful property. We generally don't do the all-inclusive thing, but with a 4 year old, it can get expensive dining out, especially when they don't eat much. The restaurants here are all great. They also allow you to eat at the other Palace properties in Cancun, but we didn't need to. There is plenty of food and lots to choose from. There is food available and included 24/7. From the restaurants to room service and the ability to order food at the pools and bars. The employees are all so happy to help too. When you can remember names, you know they are doing a great job. Carlos at the front desk is such a great, happy, helpful guy. Made my daughter smile from ear to ear. Gabriella makes awesome breakfast, Fernando took care of us at the guest services desk and Carla took such great care of our daughter in the Kids Club, she can't wait to go back and see her! The entire staff is truly happy to see you and make your stay as pleasant as possible. Make sure you check out the pools on the roof. Not too many people knew about it, and was always fairly empty. A few things I noted were that the main pools were chilly. The ocean was warmer on most days. Although it’s awesome that they have free wi-fi throughout the hotel, the wi-fi in the rooms was down the entire week. I know you don't go on vacation to waste time on Facebook, but we wanted to Skype with our other daughter, and didn't want to be making a scene in the lobby (the only place the wi-fi was functioning). But that's neither here nor there...I'm sure it's fixed by now. At the time of this review, there had a special promotion giving you resort credits depending on how many nights you stay. If you're into excursions, there are a few to choose from. To use it at the spa or some other places, you are limited at how much you can use. But, I suppose one should not complain about getting something for nothing. One nice touch is that they let you make unlimited FREE calls to the US & Canada. This is a huge plus...so leave your cell phone off! If you are familiar with Cancun, this hotel is located right near Flamingo Mall. It was about a 15-20 minute walk up to Sr. Frogs. Buses are convenient, quick, safe and cheap (currently 85 pesos, or about 85 cents, depending on conversion rates). Overall, I highly recommend this property, and am looking forward to returning soon.
Room Tip: We chose the ocean view room, and I think it was well worth it. We are earlybirds, so it was awesom...
