Moon Palace

The Moon Palace restaurants offer some really great fresh food. I got my fill every day of fresh fruit of numerous types. There is a lot of overlap among the restaurants, except for the "formal" Japanese one, but the variety is sufficient enough to definitely find your niche. The breakfast bars are fantastic, and the poolside food is great. Take the tour if you want to see the care they put into and cleanliness of the preparation of the food. They have their own water-purification plant.

Moon Palace

There are ten restaurants at the Moon Palace, five on each side. The sunrise side has a buffet-style grill with very good steak, chicken, or fish and an á la carte restaurant with decent fare. The Italian restaurant is so-so. The breakfast and lunch have a wide range of choices. All restaurants are all-you-can-eat, so bring bigger clothes.

Just as a brief intro for folks who've never been on an all-inclusive dining plan, palate beware. If you're a burgers and cheese fries sorta eater, you'll be in heaven. If your taste runs more towards Napa Valley, five-star, Zagat-rated eateries, definitely ignore Moon Palace. Most of us, I assume, would have tastes that range somewhere in-between the two extremes.

I'd say that the drinks at Moon Palace were adequate. They had fun drinks such as Sex on the Beach, Pina Colada, Margarita, and a bunch of banana concoctions. The only beer they serve is XX, so don't bother ordering Busch or Miller beer. There are two kinds of white wine and two kinds of red wine-both drinkable, though not spectacular. The alcohol added to the "fun" drinks is minimal, which is just fine with us. It definitely cuts down on disgusting behavior. However, you could always tip a buck or two to get maximal alcohol content.

The freshly grilled steaks/burgers are great. The guacamole concoctions are fabulous! The food that sits out in the servers is dangerously gross. Don't bother with them. At night, the two "gourmet" restaurants are so-so, but nothing to write home about. Overall, it's definitely cheaper to join an all-inclusive plan, but your taste buds may not appreciate your choices after 7 days. It's worth a try if you've never done it, but it's not all it's cracked up to be.

Buffet-style restaurant by the indoor pool. Great for breakfast. Dinner offers choice of a la carte or buffet. Food was great and staff was very friendly.
