If you're looking for all inclusive, this is one of the best places, away from all the buzz of cancún but not too far, perfect transportation availability. All over the world México has the best service for the customer, always with a smile, you'll be treated like a star. It's a pricy resort but all Cancún is expensive. My husband... More

When we get new employees we have an introduction session. The main line of it is precisely : People make the difference. No matter how luxurious, where its setting is and all that stuff, in the end it boils to one word: People. A hotel without good attendants is just another building. We are fortunate to have the best staff... More

Great. From the moment we entered the hotel and were greeted and invited to the Concierge Check-in to the Entertainment to the pool staff. We were able to stay at the Sun Palace 6 days and 5 nights for our honeymoon. We were also able to utilize the $1500 credit for services, tours, and goodies. Once we settled into our... More

Your review had a very intense effect on me. It describes why Cancun is what it is in the world: A safe, funfilled destination. These days, when the press and politicians are playing hooplah with my country's image your words are invaluable to us. Hopefully many will get the message. It also helps when you want to have a good... More

My spouse and I wanted to go on a sun filled vacation. We were deciding on either Hawaii or the Carribean. After the websites (expedia, redtag, etc.) jacked up the price on trips to Hawaii, my spouse and I decided on Mexico. We scoured through the reviews on trip advisor and decided on Sun Palace due to the reviews and... More

OMG! I've never received such a well classified, orderly and in depth review. My respects! Actually...we do appeal to couples with kids...of course, this time the kids stay home...or elswhere. I am such a disorderly person with my thoughts that I am always amazed at those who have, as you do, the ability to be completely coherent and efficient. So... More

I've been meaning to write this review for a while but just haven't gotten around to it. That is a plus since we've returned to Mexico twice since then and now have two more resorts to compare them with. The resort is at the southern tip of the hotel zone which makes it nice since it is a couples only... More

It is never too late to write a good review. We thank you for your kind words on our resort and yes, it is further away from the hustle and bustle than the Beach Palace and strictly adults. You see, the further you go into the hotel strip the more kids you're bound to find. So we like our location... More

Two very conflicting terms. The issue at the Italian restaurant has been addressed but from your grading it would seem this was not the only situation you disliked. You basically graded all services as medium and though you do make some comments I would really appreciate if you could help me by sending me an e mail in more detail.... More

This was my wife and my first trip to Cancun and we wanted it to be special. We decided on Sun Palace for our 25th Anniversary because we read reviews about how wonderful of an experience almost all the guests had. My wife can be a little particular when it comes to cleanliness and getting treated with respect if she... More

For first timers you have impressed me. Your excursions and comings and goings on our busses would make one think you're old hands at Cancun. Thank you for a glowing recount of our resort, Isla Mujeres and Beach Palace. Since you mention it, not only is the bracelet cutting hard on guests. We also-no matter if reason tells you there...

This review is very late. My wife and I went to the Sun Palace in Aug 2011. This was our 3 visit since Dec. 2008. We usually go the first week in Dec. But due to the both of us starting new jobs we went in Aug. last year. My daughter and her husband recommended the Sun Palace the first... More

Our property is totally different to its old self, inside and out. It was totally refurbished with new equipment and installations. Its architectural design was modified to reflect straight lines, lots of natural illumination and sedute luxury. Also, it is-as I am sure you know-adults only, which it wasn't. I am sure you will enjoy the concierge floors, they are... More

This was our second stay at the Sun Palace. We initially stayed here for our honeymoon last year and enjoyed it so much, we came back. One of the greatest things about this resort that makes it so wonderful is the staff. They are fantastic, so friendly, helpful, nothing is too much trouble and genuinely want to ensure you enjoy...

We first stayed at Sun Palace before it was a couple's only resort. It was probably around 2004. It was definitely pre-Wilma. This is a smaller resort with a smaller pool area but a great beach. We stayed in a Presidential Suite with an awesome view and great patio furniture. The jacuzzi's are outside the room. Rain can be a... More

My husband and I stayed at Sun Palace for 7 nights and we got $1500 vacation money. We used it towards a room upgrade, couples massage and a bottle of wine. When we checked out one lady from the tour booking desk came and said we owed them $290 on some tours that we never took. It turned out that... More

I am very saddened when I get a "terrible" rating. Something must have gone very wrong for my property to be so downgraded. You have every right to be angry because of the mistake made, I understand this. The employees go back and forth in Spanish because it is their native language and they do want to solve issues in...
