We just returned from a week at the Beach Palace, Cancun, Mexico. Our travel agent explained that the hotel had recently reopened after renovations were made from Hurricane Wilma. I was a little skeptical from the reviews on Trip Advisor, but we were satisfied, even impressed. I have taken other all-inclusive trips, but this was by far the best for service and quality.
I traveled with my two children (16 yr old daughter and 12 yr old son). My sister, brother-in-law and their two kids (14 and 8) joined us. We had nothing negative to say.
Upon our arrival, the staff greeted us by name and continued to address us by name for the entire week. The staff, from the bell boys, to the maids, waitstaff and bartenders were all top notch.
Our rooms were pretty and spacious. The balconies were large and comfortable with an oversized, cushioned lounge chair. The mini bar had a nice selection of sodas and beers as well as bottles of liquor in the drawer.
The pools were large and always very clean. The 3 pool bars were never crowded. This is a family resort, so there were always kids playing in the pool. Our kids had plenty of non-alcoholic drinks and snacks each day. The wait staff (Janet, Ixchel, Rosa and Francisco) was so attentive that they knew which drinks and snacks we and our kids liked and asked us if we would like the same the following day.
The activities staff, Mauricio, Alejandro and Lucy were a lot of fun. They organized games poolside and activities in the Stadium sports bar in the evening (and on our one rainy day). They had our pre-teen and teenage kids going. We adults even got in on a game of water volleyball. Even a morning aqua aerobics class was a lot of laughs.
The restaurants were nice. The Japanese restaurant, Wok and the Italian restaurant, Bocelli require men and boys over 12 to wear pants to dinner. Our waiters (Leonardo, Raphael, Yoni, Luis and Sebastian) went out of their way to make our dinners enjoyable. They made such a fuss over us and the kids. The food had a great presentation and was always great.
My daugher and I enjoyed great massages in the spa. A first class experience. I also treated myself to a polish change in the beauty salon. I only spent $16 and you would have thought I was royalty the way they were fawning over me.
We are already talking about going back. We had a great time.
