    My husband and I have been here probably 10 times... we absolutely love this place! We feel like we are home when here and have gotten to know a lot of the kids who work here. They are the real reason we keep going back!!
    Just an awesome place.......... and if you haven’t experienced the spa....... you must!!

    Probably one of the most informative and useful videos reviewing a hotel resort I've ever seen. Including your family and everything just made everything so much more real. I've now watched number one, number two and number three videos of the Moon Palace Resorts and wow I am so old. I usually booked way up in the hotel Zone at a Riu property such as Riu Palace Peninsula, I've booked their three times so that tells me that it is a favorite of mine. Knowing that you've been to Moon Palace three times tells me I should check it out!

    • @EverydayReviews2022
      @EverydayReviews2022  3 роки тому

      Thanks! I stayed at the RIu in town as well quite a few years ago. Really didn’t like how the hotel itself created a massive shadow over the pool after 2 PM.

    This was an amazing review. We booked at The Grand and will be there in a couple of weeks! Thank you so much for putting the room information up. Rooms are so important to us. We have 2 little ones and had no idea! The water park information was so helpful and so was the game and bowling. All on our list!! Everything looks amazing and we can't wait to go!!

    The review perfectly captured what we like about the Grand at Moon Palace. We have been to the Grand twice with our adult children and four grandchildren. activities for the young ones are great. The only problem is getting the children to leave the play area to eat meals. The food is fabulous. In addition to the restaurants featured in the two Everyday Reviews videos be sure and try La Trattoria and La Palapa, two fine restaurants at the golf course, and the Brazilian steakhouse Arrecifes at Nizuc. Too many good restaurants to go to in one stay.

    I’ve seen a few videos on this Resort & had a co-worker go last year. The hotel looks awesome, but the beach is probably a deal breaker for me. When I think of Cancun, it’s me looking out at the clear blue waters drinking a beer. Great video!

    A question concerning water purity on the resort: what was your experience regarding faucet water in the room for brushing teeth or a quick night time drink of water?

    • @EverydayReviews2022
      @EverydayReviews2022  6 років тому

      No need to drink it from the faucet. Lots of bottled water in the room. We used it to brush teeth with no issue. Bottled water is used throughout the resort just in case. Whenever you ask for water anywhere, you’re given bottled water. Definitely not an issue.

      Not sure if anyone watched the video. I showed the ground and the sand on purpose. There was no such seaweed on the beach, at least the time when we were there. I walked and swam in the water and felt no seaweed there either. Not sure when the people complaint about the seaweed went there.

      Hi there - wanted to chime in as I’ve been to Dreams but in Los Cabos. In Cancun I’ve stayed at Secrets the Vine which is adults only but a sister-resort. I definitely recommend AMResorts I think Secrets is more upscale and then Dreams then it goes down from there. But food is good, it’s truly all-inclusive and service is just excellent - they addressed me and my husband by name. If you’re just traveling with adults, I recommend Secrets. Dreams (in Los Cabos) was kid friendly but I didn’t see many kids there nor was there anything special for kids to do such as what is shown here at the Grand. Hope that is sorta helpful.

      I thought this too as we had different color than others were travelling with. Apparently it’s just who you booked with. We noticed no difference of service at all. There might be a difference if you’re part of their program and your a diamond member or whatever they call it.

    I just went here and it was absolutely incredible. I’m so sad to be back home, but definitely coming back!
    While we were there, the beaches were FULL of seaweed, so the tractors were constantly on it. It made the beaches almost unusable, which was disappointing, but there was so much else to do!
    The water park I felt was a bit extreme as the main sides had height and weight requirements. For the regular tube slides, the minimum weight requirement was around 300 lbs, which is a bit strange! Personally, I’m not a big fan of drops, so I chickened out on the slides. I wish there were more slides for chickens like me😂
    The service and employees were amazing and caring. While not always prompt to help like with room issues, they were very kind and helpful.
    These are the only issues I found but none of them were very significant! There are so many great pros to this place that I can’t list them all here.
    Overall, everything was just amazing and I highly recommend going there👍

    • @EverydayReviews2022
      @EverydayReviews2022  5 років тому

      For the tube slides, you also HAVE to of in pairs. You cannot go solo. Didn't;t know about the min weight although I don't think we'd have a problem to see it with 2 people :)

  • @staceyjordan4019
    @staceyjordan4019 5 років тому +1

    Hi, from the UK. The restaurants mentioned in the video do you have to make a reservation? Did you tip the staff? I was unsure how the tipping works as I’ve never had to do it :)

    • @EverydayReviews2022
      @EverydayReviews2022  5 років тому +2

      There's only a couple of restaurants that need reservations. JC Steakhouse and Le Chateau. Keep in mind that Le Chateau is adults only. All the rest is first come - first served. If it's busy, they give you one of those buzzers that alert you when your table is ready. It's not a big deal though as you can go have snacks at the wine bar or have a drink in the lounge. As for tipping, it in entirely up to you. We may have left a couple of dollars per meal depending on what kind of restaurant it was. Of course, it is accepted and appreciated but don't feel like you have to. Hope this helps!

    Thx for both parts 1&2 - great reviews! Has anyone stayed at Sunrise and The Grand sides? I’m looking at these reviews as my situation is unique. My daughters are almost 4yo and 17! So trying to find a place to please everyone. I booked Moon Palace Family Suite (Sunrise) kinda by mistake thinking I was booking The Grand 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m wondering if it’s worth the hassle to call the hotel to try and switch over to the Grand side. I see they also have family suites on Grand side (because of the bed sizes and ages and being annoyed with one another/needing our own space at the end of a long day) and right now looks like the cost is the same so I’m annoyed at my oversight! I’ve pretty much much gone cross-eyed at all the research on resorts. We really wanted to be in hotel zone so the teenager could do some ocean stuff (snorkeling jetskiing) but the little one will want to be entertained every waking moment of the day 😳. “Have kids they said - it’ll be great they said” lol help!

    • @EverydayReviews2022

    • @deecal4104
      @deecal4104 5 років тому

      Hey there! Funny you should ask 😆 So “ReservHotel” out of Miami is their booking agent and that’s who I was dealing with to try to switch over to Grand. It was just too expensive to make the switch and Sunrise seemed nice enough. The agent felt we would be happy enough at Sunrise. I of course was hesitant but hubby didn’t want to spend over $1000 for an upgrade - can’t blame him. We arrive at Sunrise and the rooms were dank, smaller than anticipated, musty, headboards were peeling, bird poop all over the tiny patios and hammocks and there were bugs on the floor inside and in the tubs! 😳 of course we were displeased and asked for a room switch. After much back and forth they said we could switch over to the Grand in about 5 hours. Then they called us back and said Oh yeah that will cost $1,200! A guest relations lady came to room to confirm we were not lying and still offered no room change except the $1200 switch. I asked if Reserv could do anything since I’d been trying to book with Grand since beginning. They called Reserv. In Spanish the lady was telling her what a liar I was and how I was trying to get a free room at the nice resort - she didn’t know I understand Spanish. So yeah it got heated. Meanwhile my kids are waiting in the room and vacay time is wasting away but we finally got out stuff, our kids, yanked off wristbands and left. We went to AMResorts Dreams (we’ve stayed with AMR before at Secrets in Cancun & Punta Cana and Dreams in Cabo) - their van picked us right up and off we went. We got connecting plunge pool rooms for $2700 cheaper. What a nightmare. Had to file a visa dispute as on day 5, Moon Palace sent an email thanking us for our stay as if we were there the whole time 🤦🏻‍♀️

      I don't believe there is a guideline. There isn't any wording for it on the menus. I have seen people tip and I have seen people not tip. It is entirely up to you. We tipped most places and was dependent on the service provided. Most services are very good. Take some smaller bills with you. We didn't even convert it to the peso, we just tipped USD.

      2B1 I’ve looked into that one and heard really good things. Have you been to the Grand? I’d like to compare those two. The one thing that steers me toward the Grand though is the fact that it’s literally 10 min door to door from the airport which is a big deal when travelling with little ones. Last time I was in Playa, I remember it being about an hour away.

      I have been to Xelha and Xcaret before we had kids. How old are your kids? I think we had more fun at Xelha. Xcaret has more culture, kids might not be as interested. Xel ha is more like a big water/adventure park. Have fun! It’s gonna be hot when you gon.

    Great videos (pt1 and pt2). I've been hearing more and more about the drug gangs showing up in the Cancun resorts. When you were there did you feel at any time the situation as being un-safe? Did you and your family do any activities outside of the resort? If you did, did you feel safe?

    • @EverydayReviews2022
      @EverydayReviews2022  6 років тому +6

      Really? Never heard of gangs in the resort. Not sure why they would ever show up in a resort, not really their thing. We’ve been on excursions to parks, centres, ruins and Cozumel in the past. With the 2 little ones, no sense leaving the resort as they wouldn’t even interested in any of this at their age. I’ve never felt unsafe in Mexico but just like anywhere, you have to use your street smarts. No different than being in any other city in the world. Bad things happen everywhere and in every backyard. Sometimes people let their guard down just because they’re on vacation.

      Not closed at all. Perhaps just full. They might not be booking to full capacity since they have restrictions due to Covid. As those are lifted, more rooms may become available of if people cancel. Unfortunately I may be cancelling for Dec booking due to 14 day quarantine and essential travel only advisory for Canada 🇨🇦 as of today. Luckily I booked flex rate meaning I paid nothing for the booking and have up until 4 days prior to the trip to cancel. I think it’s essential especially during these uncertain times with flights being cancelled, govt restrictions etc.

    Just FYI the waterpark is only 2 adult slides (six of the blue which are all the same track) a yellow and green which mirror each other (same slide) and you MUST be five foot 3 inches to ride those. Many adults and most kids turned away from those. Do not book here for the family if going primarily for the waterpark. ALSO if staying at the Sunrise or NIzuc resorts, I STRONGLY RECOMEND NOT ATTENDING THE MEMBERSHIP pitch. 90 minutes turns into 2.5 hours of a hard sell for the privilege of getting better rates and access to cabana beds. The value is completely lost attending the Grand go to the other resorts and be happy there!

      I think every Mexican resort I’ve been to has tried to get me into a presentation. That does however not make them a scam. I have 3 personal friends that own some pretty costly time shares and have more many of year and they actually use them. If you guy you and don’t use it, then that’s your fault and you light portray that as a scam. Heavy sales tactics at every resort, absolutely. My advice is unless you are actually interested, don’t say yes or express any interest whatsoever just because you get something for free. If you’re in the market and can afford one then go for it. Personally I can’t afford it and don’t want to take any of my vacation time with a presentation. Why do you say it’s a timeshare trap, did they accost you and force you to go through a presentation? Like I said, both times I’ve been there was an introduction, I said no thanks, and that was absolutely it for the entire time.
