Great hotel and food but enormous and quite overwhelming complex. Lots for kids to do which was good. Only 15 mins from airport which was a bonus after a long flight. Lovely beach too, although not enough sun loungers especially at Easter when all the American families came for their spring break. They also have a no saving sunbed policy but it wasn't enforced at all and many saved beds whilst people had to sit on the sand which you wouldn't be too happy about after paying a substantial amount. All the staff were brilliant and really lovely. Booking dinner a bit stressful as can't do it till the day you arrive and hard to get earlier bookings if you have kids. Hotel beds were doubles which we felt were too small. They do try and upsell you lots of things though so a firm no needed sometimes! Joe's deck - Ishegar, Jose, Yasmeen and Elvis we're all stand out staff ❤️👏🏼

Had a very good time! Happy that we chose this place for stay. The one thing was that I did not feel the service was enough for the price we payed, but everything else was amazing and especially the food! The French fries were very soggy and the room service we ordered took a long time to come, but there are over 2000 hotels in this resort. We understand the wait. I hope we can come back next time because it was so much fun!

I can not say enough good things about this resort, we went over Christmas and loved it so much we are going back in a couple of weeks. The rooms are great, the food is amazing and there is enough activities to keep everybody busy. There is something for every age. The water park is amazing!!!

I have been a member of Palace since 2010 and I have been to so many upgrade/update presentations in the last 15 years, that I feel compelled to warn others against signing these contracts. In my experience, with signing new agreements, I have lost benefits that I had and this is never mentioned to me. I think that by upgrading, I maintain the benefits I had and am getting better, but this has not been the case. They ask for your credit card to get the deposit before drawing up the contract. Then it is quite difficult when what is in the contract is different from what the salesperson promised. They also go very quickly over the contract and only point out the positives, while omitting the changes made to the membership, plus it is very small on the tablet and impossible to read all of it. They have now improved the process whereby you have 5 days to go over it and cancel, but at this time, you are most likely still on vacation, without access to a lawyer, and it is impossible to read the document on your phone.
I went through this process in December and cancelled within 5 days. It took months before I could get my credit card reimbursed and I had to dispute the charges and get the credit card company involved.
In the 15 yrs that I have been a member at Palace, they have also made changes to the benefits to members that weren't in writing, as well as using any writing in the contract that isn't explicit to their own interpretation (which differs from how things were), thereby lessening the value of the weeks that have already been purchased. I believe this is done because it leaves people wanting more and therefore more motivation to upgrade. Based on my experiences, I DO NOT recommend purchasing memberships with Palace.

Beware of staff at the adult pool
I took my 76- and 77-year-old parents to Mexico for the first time on March 9th, 2025. They have never left the US so they were a little nervous, but I re-assured them they would be fine, especially in a 5-star hotel. We arrived on 3/9, were shown to our rooms and had a great evening.
The next morning we went to breakfast and then back to the room to change. There was an adult pool directly across from our rooms, so we decided to spend the day there. We arrived at the pool at 10:40AM. After grabbing some towels and settling in, we ordered a margarita followed by 3 bottles of water. After our second margarita we all 3 got into the pool and that’s pretty much where ALL 3 of us lost our memory. Our first margarita was at 11AM followed by a bottle of water. Our second drink was around 11:45AM and in the pool at noon. There are videos on my phone at 12:23 that none of us have any memory of and the last picture on my phone is at 1:08PM. My mother and father had both fallen and were extremely hurt and needed assistance. They asked what happened and I said we must have drank too much. Now mind you, I have no idea what time it is, what the hell happened and I am still drugged up answering their questions. It wasn’t until the next day when I could go back and look at all our phones and piece together as much information as possible. This was my 55th birthday so we all have many years of drinking under our belts. There is no way possible that all 3 of us would have been blacked out drunk in LESS than 1.5 hours, with a full belly, and a bottle of water in between those drinks. And on top it, we only had 2 drinks! And they are tiny drinks, in a little plastic soda cup. I have read 2 other posts where this exact same thing happened to other people at the same pool. Another couple got extremely hurt and customer service response was “they reviewed the CCTV and showed the other couple got hurt falling off a fence they climbed.” Instead, they should be looking at why that couple climbed the fence to begin with. It’s amazing what people will do when they have been drugged. And what is the reasoning. Pure entertainment? My parents were seriously hurt from their fall and could have been killed by these drugs. Customer service reached out to my parents the following day and out of fear my mother reported they were fine. I called them back and had them bring a wheel chair for my father who couldn’t walk since his fall. My mother was humiliated, and I thought best to bring this to their attention after I got them home to safely. I did mention this to the girl at check out and also wrote them an email asking them to look into the incident, watch the videos, and explain how this happened. I would have thought my parents would have been safe in a 5 star hotel but obviously I was wrong. I have spoken to many other people at this resort and they didn’t have any issues so it appears that only some people are targeted. This post is nothing but a warning that there are dishonest employees that work in this resort, especially at the adult pool (since this is now the 3rd reported incident in less than 6 months). If this is a place you have your heart set on visiting, BRING TEST strips and test every drink the staff brings you. And for Palace resorts, don’t send me a message about contacting you and how important safety is to your guests. I have already contacted you and if safety was important, this would have been addressed immediately. How many other unreported incidents have happened here? How many other people need to make the exact same claim before you look into the issue? If anyone was there on March 10th at the adult pool and can help us piece together more information, my email is dknight031070 at gmail dot com. Thank you to the American couple that helped us.
