The Moon Palace Resort - Sunrise in Cancun was the perfect spot for the Backstreet Boys music festival! The staff was super nice, and meeting Ernesto, the poolside ice cream man, was the highlight. He's a great guy who makes you feel loved and like familia. Such a fantastic experience!

At the Cancun Airport the "official" tourism people engages us with very helpful info and then suggested we buy a day pass for MoonPalace wgmhere for the fee we coukd eat, drink for free for a day pass. Also free 25min back massage. We were not told there was a mandatory sales pitch to pre pay for 110 weeks for standing there anytime for $110,000us. We were toured around the massive project but constantly pressed to buy some package. We were told this presentation would take an hour and 1/2 but it took clode to 3 hrs. We were furious as we had nit been informed of this sales pitch. We were passed on to 4 different salesmen. We arrived at 1pm and did not have our lunch till 4pm. When we escaped the "presentation" we did enjoy the food, pools, massage, etc. But this is a resort on an industrial level, it is massive and it is damn expensive. I would never go back!! Read less

Ernesto the dancing chef was wonderful! He was always smiling and engaging with guests - so entertaining and fun, and he really made an effort to make sure we were having a great time. If you get a chance to see him, go dance with him - you won't regret it!
