Pampered Week in Cancun

Overview

Quote:

If you want to be taken care of and have your every request answered, try the Moon Palace Sunrise in Cancun.

Moon Palace Golf and Spa Resort All-Inclusive

Hotel | "Moon Palace Sunrise"

Quote:

Staying at the Moon Palace is a pleasure. The hotel rooms are fairly spacious and beautifully appointed. A Jacuzzi in each room lets you relax and look out the huge windows at vistas of lush well-tended vegetation or at the beach or pool, depending on location. I have never had a bad view. Each room has a small balcony with chairs and a hammock. The shower is huge, with marble walls and heavy glass door. Maid service is excellent and whimsical. We never knew what critter would be formed from the fresh towels each day--rose, deer, swan, etc. In-room refrigerators are stocked often with bottled water (unlike in Puerto Vallarta, I do not drink the local water in Cancun), beer, and soft drinks, in...Read More

Whether you want to have an omelet or just toast for breakfast, the fare at the various Moon Palace restaurants is excellent. This all-inclusive resort allows you to eat at any of the many restaurants found at their multiple locations. From the taco bar in the lounge to poolside dining in a palapa, from the themed buffets to a la carte dining at the Spanish or Oriental restaurants (no shorts, please), all the food is well prepared and beautifully presented. Watch what you eat or your waistline will show it!

Ek Balam Mayan Ruins

Attraction | "Tour to Mayan Ruins, Ek Balam"

Quote:

If you have gone to Chichen Itza or Tulum, you have seen the typical Mayan ruins. Ek Balam, recently opened (in 1996) to the public, is smaller, more secluded, surrounded by jungle, and definitely less disturbed by tourists. We took this tour as one of the two offered by Palace Resorts with our package. There are six to choose from. Our guide, Rafael, was very informative and considerate of we older gringas who needed to be out of the tropical sun, stopping to lecture in every shady spot he could. While I would not climb the great pyramid at Chichen Itza, I did attempt the smaller one at this ruin and was well rewarded with a magnificent view of the jungle surrounding the ruins. Coming dow...Read More
