Stayed Cancun Palace for the first time and we were not dissappointed. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and review and mine is simply to say that we will be back. Our June vacation was awesome. I was concern in reading before some of the bad reviews, but whatever complain those people had were simply nitpicking on every little thing, but I'm sure CP did their best to remedy those because I just couldn't find fault. So here it is, I'll break it down:
SERVICE: Absolutely excellent, they really cater to you and treat you like King and Queens, some really go out of their way to please and accomodate you, your family and even your kids. The bartenders are friendly and works fast with all the drinks from cocktails to smoothies, water etc. The housekeeping are great, you don't see them but when you come back to your room, it's all made and clean, just don't forget to press the switch to green for the housekeeping, that gives them the go signal to clean your room, otherwise it is do not disturb and they respect that.
RESTAURANT/FOOD: All the restaurant from the Italian to the Asian style cuisine were very good along with the services of the waiters. Do not miss the Hibachi/Tepan yaki style dining, you need to make a reservation for this. My kids loves the steaks made to order in the pool dining area. The room service were use constantly also by kids and they love it that they come all hours even at 2-3 in the morning.
ENTERTAINMENT/TOURS: There are shows every night, although I didn't get to attend all, I heard from others that they were good and of course entertaining. The fire show was really awesome. There are all kinds of tours included in your trip package, if you have it take advantage of it. There is a new tour called Zip Lining and this is a physical, adventurous type of tour, not for the weak at heart and those scare of heights, but being we saw this in TRAVEL CHANNEL... we thought it be fun to try it, so we signed up and thought it was only to zip line from 1 tree to another 1 tree, but boy were we surprise when we got up there and found out that we will be ZIP LINING 12x and with one having a choice of doing it upside down... I'm middle age, my boys 13 and 11 did it and they loved it... overall it was a fun, and an adventurous experience, I recommend it for those who love thrill rides, and adventues, otherwise just do the ruins. As usual also ISLA MUJERES was fun and entertaining.
SPA/MASSAGES: The facility itself was calm, soothing, the massage room when facing down you are looking through a see through glass on the floor seeing the ocean with the fishes swimming by. The therapist were professional, friendly and gave the best massage I had full body, manicure/pedicure and facial.... Leonel was great, pick him to do your massage.
KIDS CLUB: We have a 7, 9, 11, and 13 year and we did bring them there. The kids club have their own kiddie pool, game room, gym type playroom, etc. The employees there work and play with the kids, the interaction is very sweet and friendly, my kids themselves ask us to keep bringing them back their.
BEACH: It is still small, but better than nothing, the ocean, water is absolutely gorgeous and so clear blue, a very nice ocean view from our room.
POOL: The pool can get crowded at certain time, but other wise the kids love it and the Swim up Bar are easy to access. It closes at 8pm, so that they can clean it everynight.
I don't think I covered everything, but overall I'm very impressed with this Hotel. Were plannig to come back either next year or in 2010 and I will be bringing friends and family with me. I absolutely recommend this CANCUN PALACE.
