GREAT CANCUN EXPERIENCE

Climbing up the Chichen Itza pyramid was challenging and exhilarating, but also scary. My 10-year-old daughter and 30-year-old niece made it all the way to the top, while I decided to return when I was halfway to the top.

The cruise to Isla Mujeres was so much fun and enjoyable. It was wild and crazy. We were dancing, singing, and gulping down strawberry daquiris that were being served by squirting it down our throats.

The shark experience was unforgettable. We actually held and carried a toothless shark that was so slimey and heavy. I bought several silver jewelries that were excellent bargains at one of their exclusive jewelers.

Quick Tips:

Always bargain and you will end up with great purchases, especially if you buy by bulk. All my give away souvenirs were merely from to each. Be careful of what you drink. Do not recommend drinking their tap water. Bottled water and canned sodas are safe bet.

Best Way To Get Around:

Public transportation is no problem. Easy to get around. Taxis are cheap to hire all day long. Walking at night around the hotel strip is not scary.

The place itself is somewhat old and rooms need some updating. The staff, however, are very accommodating and very friendly. They somehow make up for the lackluster of the old palace.

The children enjoyed their nightly pool table games while the adults stayed late for the karaoke bar. It is always packed with adults and kids. They have a restaurant/bar in the middle of the pool. Their outdoor dining is also exceptional. Their indoor dining is fabulous as well with a great view of the coastal sea.

There were so many restaurants to choose from at the Moon Palace. Since we spent a great many hours in and around the different pools, we basically had casual outdoor dining. The grilled seafoods were delectable and fabulous. Their mixed drinks were to die for. The service could not be any better. Even when we were just lounging on one of their floating chaise, the wait staff still managed to be very attentive to our needs and would ask if we need anything to drink or eat. Fast service and very friendly staff.

The all-inclusive package is such a bargain since we never had to pay extra for any meals and drinks that we consumed at any of the affiliated palace hotels.

The beaches are clean and so inviting. The water is so pure and clear you can see everything underneath the water. The water temperature is cool, which is just perfect for swimming. No debris floating around.
