    This is no minimalist hideaway – Moon Palace The Grand Cancun is an unashamed ‘maximalist’ mega-hotel packing in its own bowling alley, nightclub, and even a water park complete with lazy river, wave pool, and super-soaker slides. The children’s play zone features a neon mini golf course, bumper cars, a mirror maze, and a 3 floor labyrinth - keeping them entertained for hours! And they’ve gone gloriously over-the-top with their all-inclusive dine and drink package too, with top-shelf drinks and all restaurants included, covering fine French dining, flavourful Mexican favourites, tempting tapas, among the global menus of this luxury 5-star palace.
