The hotel

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.

Stayed for a week with fam as a VIP member. Positives - Plenty of options for good foods however many restaurants were closed temporarily due to low hotel occupancy. Very weird given it was peak season. Quality of foods has improved compared to our previous visit in 2022, though still not as great compared to 2017-2019. - Restaurant staff are mostly still great. We always happy leaving tips for those hardworking folks. Negatives - Housekeeping is subpar. We got cockroach in the room!! We were really grossed out. We had to put in request in app / call multiple times for aromatherapy. In most cases, no one came. Dirty glasses / cups were left untouched. - My wife had incident during a massage session. It really ruined a few days of the vacation. They initially did not want to acknowledge the situation, and instead accusing my wife for making up stuff; until she showed her recent medical check up record then they shut up. I wish they just tried to fix the situation when it happened. - The customer service at the reception area is very pushy / a liar. The first day checked in, she wanted me to go to a presentation, otherwise the resort credit would not be activated. That is the *process* to get resort credit, she insisted. I knew this was a very blatant lie! That instant, I convinced myself that I would never attend any presentation. I hate liars! Overall, given the large amount of money we invested as a member and paid for this vacation, we were under-whelmed. The Grand is no longer as grand as we knew it years ago, unfortunately. Read less
