Beach Palace All-Inclusive Best of IgoUgo

Hotel | "Palace Resort at Beach Palace"

Quote:
Best Things Nearby:The bus is right out front, and you're withing walking distance of a couple of malls and other shops.Best Things About the Resort:The staff were extremely welcoming!!! Resort Experience:The resort was very clean and well maintained. It is a dated resort and you can tell it was built in the 1980's. They did a good job with the upkeep, but it was just outdated overall. The food was excellent except for the Mexican restaurant on site. The day and evening entertainment was low key, but still enjoyable. It was also nice to have food available all the time without having to decide where you wanted to go out to eat. ...Read More

We enjoyed the restaurant at the Beach Palace. The Mexican restaurant was horrible, and we only ate there one time. The staff were awesome in getting us drinks, and whatever else we asked for. The food was always good as well. The drinks were always good too!!

Isla Mujeres Best of IgoUgo

Attraction

Quote:
We went to Isla Mujeres so we could swim with the dolphins and do some snorkeling. They also had a nurse shark available for you to hold. The shopping area was a little crazy, but we had a great time anyway.

Ek Balam Mayan Ruins Best of IgoUgo

Attraction | "Tulum"

Quote:
It was a very nice trip. It took less than an hour to drive there, versus the 3 hour drive (one way) to the other ruins. Afterward, we got to play at another Palace Resort on the Mayan Riviera.

Attraction | "Beach"

Quote:
The thing I am most impressed with about Cancun is that they ask you to use biodegradable sunblock!! How awesome is that. Their caring for the environment shows because the water is so clean and crystal clear down there. I can't wait to go back already!
