Hey EVERYONE! I just got back and PART #3 is now LIVE! Make sure to watch after you've watched Part 1 & 2. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGilk2p-eryAaLs

[@TheDigitalpost]

This is one of the best all inclusive reviews I seen. This guys breaks it down proper...respect

[@julie-ei9sq]

Best all inclusive video I saw so far! Very detailed, and answered all the questions that I had which weren’t answered in any other videos. Thank you so much!

[@IMGMasterclass]

Amazing review, we are heading down there for FEB 2022 and this was very helpful! you are a good host and commentator.

[@riadmatar5005]

Great video we do enjoy all your three videos. Thank you for all your help.

[@EverydayReviews2022]

You’re welcome. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

[@jodre2007]

Thank you soooooo much! Your videos are well done and amazing! I totally appreciate it!!!

[@lisandrogomez5394]

I just came back from that place and mannn! That place is incredible! Our kids loved it as well very much we are definitely coming back!

[@MattManWithoutRobin]

Stayed there last year and it was phenomenal, especially the food! Only negatives were the beach (not as nice as the hotel district, though you can visit their sister resort) and the sound system for the shows in the theater wasn't very good. But the hotel is gorgeous and the resort is massive. Well worth it.

[@asavbs1621]

MattManWithoutRobin too much seaweed

[@BKellz_]

Hey Brian, hope you see this comment, one quick thing at around the 7 minute mark you say the hotel is about a year old, it actually is quite a bit older, just they made insane renovations to it. It used to be extremely small and the entire lobby is brand new (lobby used to be right on edge of Grand and Nizuc). Just letting you know in case anyone has brought that up in a question or anything about it. I’ve been going to Moon Palace for roughly 10 years now, i think ive been there a dozen times or so, and I have to say this review was phenomenal. You said you didnt really get to check out Nizuc and Sunrise much and since you have many people emailing you I think I have a few things that could help. The quality of everything (food, drink, service, entertainment) is the same across the board: all fantastic. I would say the Grand used to be the quietest of the 3 but now I would say that Nizuc is. Sunrise is definitely nicer than Nizuc, as the rooms are bigger. The rooms in each of the 3 hotels are also different in shape and size, I believe the Grand has the biggest, but in terms of the suites, sunrise has in my opinion the nicest living/dining room (one could easily disagree). In terms of being able to go to the grand if you stay at sunrise or nizuc, we stayed at Sunrise in May and were able to go to the Grand freely and werent told to leave, this was without day pass. I dont know if this means we just werent caught but we had dinner reservations at the steakhouse and ate there no problem. I believe you just need day pass for water park, because we could use spa at the grand too. On top of that as of May the slides at the water park were still down as I heard (dont know if true or not) that inspectors failed the slides and they were bringing in another company. Hope this helps, I’ve enjoyed all my experiences at Moon Palace and thought you represented it perfectly. If you ever go back I would definitely recommend checking out the other 2 hotels in the resort!

[@EverydayReviews2022]

Thanks. Yes, I had heard that the Grand used to be more of the smaller vacation owners area. I didn’t want to go there and since they did such a huge Reno, it’s essentially new for the most part. Great comments on the other resorts. When I was there, I saw people even getting turned away at the boulangerie because they weren’t staying at the Grand and didn’t have the proper wristband. They were enforcing it at this time. I may book again this year, it’s so hard to book the same place though when there are so many other fabulous resorts down the coast.

[@BKellz_]

Everyday Reviews thats interesting it could be we werent getting turned away because we upgraded our membership, but we were also there in January probably the same time you were there, but we stayed at the Grand then. I havent been to any of the other resorts in Cancun but if theyre anything close to what Moon Palace is which Im sure they are then those would be a great experience

[@ElHombredelPeloBlanco]

Nice video, love it

[@sdub_89]

booked through our timeshare and going very soon. though we got put in the golf resort rooms. kinda nervous about that but I'm pretty easygoing. can't wait!

[@EverydayReviews2022]

Hmm not familiar with golf resort rooms. Which resort is that?

[@sdub_89]

@@EverydayReviews2022 it's at moon palace Cancun. I THINK its located between grand and nizuc? what was explained to us is that these are like "hotel" rooms. there is no living room area but a small kitchen. and I think its located on the golf course. I was reluctant bc all you ever hear of is the 3. it also might be due to some technicalities for exchanging our timeshare location for cancun

[@alunwhite5286]

Enjoyable to watch looking forward to booking thank you very well done

I’ve been here, it’s awesome

[@plutoandunicorn3404]

Just back from an amazing two weeks and nizuc and we went to sunrise so I decided to see what the grand is like. We thought nizuc was big but the grand looks like nizuc and sunrise combined!

[@jadetinoco3517]

Im going next week for spring break and it will take me two days to get there but from this video I will totally do everything as possible. Thank you!!

[@EverydayReviews2022]

Well how was it?

[@MitsubishiEvoXFQ]

This is by far the best review of the Moon Palace, we booked within days of watching this review - and crazily based specifically on this review. You gave a great overview and encouraged us to book 11 days instead of 7. Expensive - twice the cost of our six-week honeymoon in Australia and New Zealand - but hopefully well worth it.

[@EverydayReviews2022]

You’ll have a great time. We booked again for December. This time 10 days.

[@MitsubishiEvoXFQ]

Everyday Reviews - awesome, will you be posting another review? Would be great to see what it looks like around Christmas 👍🏻

[@EverydayReviews2022]

Caleb Zunino Yes, will post another review. Christmas time deco should be amazing there!

[@EverydayReviews2022]

Will also review other pools, restaurants, and activities that we didn't get a chance to do. I hear half the waterpark slides are open now. I'll report back on those as well. When are you going?

[@MitsubishiEvoXFQ]

@@EverydayReviews2022 that will be amazing, look forward to it. Love the look of the steak restaurant and the Waygu in the Japanese. We're going early April.

[@REVIVETJ]

They have queen size beds now. Wrist bands are working also, just got back last week

[@EverydayReviews2022]

Awesome,thanks for the update.

Hey... when are you going back?? We are going this year. And have booked it through your reviews.. family of six from the UK... either hope to see another video of what to expect, or Evan better bumping into you in September.

I booked our family again for the end of the year. This will be the first time ever that we’ve booked the same resort in Mexico. It’s that good I guess.

[@joyceannguevarra6983]

Thank you for sharing!!! God bless

[@Pamela-yq3ek]

Amazing video! I booked a trip here because of your video. I went and was blown away(we even bought a time share) . I think we were there the same time that you made your part 2 . We are planning to go back in a few months. Please make more videos of all inclusives. They honestly should sponsor your trips. Thank you and I look forward to more !

[@EverydayReviews2022]

I wish they’d sponsor my trip too. Hahah I’d love to do more reviews like these but it’s pretty well limited to once a year when we have time off. I’m actually scared to book somewhere else now just in case it’s not as good as The Grand. I’d be so disappointed. Kinda like why mess with a good thing.

[@razmikohanian151]

is this Cancun moon palace?or the Grant is different place?

[@JNCGTravels]

Nice ! I LOVE ALL of your videos!

[@ShadowGamer507]

Thx, awesome video. Question regarding the food ... we like more plain, "regular" food, and don't really like sea food. I see lots of octopus, clams, sushi, fish heads, etc in this video. Is there other options at most places? Rice, pasta, pizza, chicken, steak, etc?

[@EverydayReviews2022]

Yes lots of "regular" food :) Paninis, pizza, pasta etc.

[@EverydayReviews2022]

[@karenkennedy1061]

Fantastic review .....great content ......we are travelling from Scotland for our two week stay in July. We booked the grand so we didn’t require to pay daily for access, so my question is this, Have we done the right thing? Or are the facilities equal at the sunrise and nazuc. Not overly concerned about the room key thing but the bed thing is a concern ....agree two queens would be better x

[@EverydayReviews2022]

+Karen Kennedy The Grand is on a whole other level than the other 2. You’ll immediately feel that when you do to the other resorts. It is still nice to visit the others as they both have different things to offer but the restaurants, buildings, rooms etc or way better. Enjoy!

[@henryfabian3187]

I agree on the beds, it seems like double is the standard. I don't know any couple that sleeps on a double. We sleep on a king & sleeping on a double isn't comfortable.

[@asavbs1621]

Henry Fabian its just forkin great enit

[@devin2391]

Very meticulous! Thanks.

[@dakotasrocks]

I suggest going to the normal moon palace because both of their lobbies, both Nizuic and Sunrise, have wayyyy better food and if you stay in the cold course vilas, you get a golf cart so you can travel between the two lobbies. Both lobbies have large pools and the sunrise has a “wave runner” which is very fun.

[@Dace1314]

Great review man, full marks.

..nice, very very nice!.. did i miss where you say how much you spent for the seven nights' stay?...

I didn't mention it mainly because everyones price will be different from where they come from. The hotel without flight for 7 days was about $3000 CDN for our family of 4.

Great review Brian, my kids are so excited now having seen your video. We go in June for 2weeks. I was wondering, some people mention toiletries, ie shampoo, conditioner, soap, shower gel etc. Are these just a one off or are the supplied throughout your stay. If supplied would save taking all this with us thanks again. Pamela

[@EverydayReviews2022]

+Pamela Neilson They are al brand new and supplied. They use CHI brand which are pretty expensive toiletries.

[@pamelaneilson6259]

Everyday Reviews thanks for the info.

[@Reditold]

Stayed at Club Paradise Cancun last August, staying here this August!

[@zafarnamah]

Great review. Would the water in the water park be warm enough if one were to visit closer to Christmas? Were you able to enjoy the water in January?

[@EverydayReviews2022]

Yes we always go in Dec/Jan and the water is fine. Its not super warm so can feel a little chilly if its not sunny out. If the sun's shining, we're in there!

[@kendrall222]

Was there a concert stage test there at the resort?

[@EverydayReviews2022]

Not that I know of. The last time we were there though, there was a large stage being setup for a private function.

[@alansmith3733]

Hello bud, great video. Can you please tell me what deal is with the resort credits? Is it a true all inclusive

[@EverydayReviews2022]

Yes it is a true all inclusive. There a few buffets but thats it, all the rest are regular restaurants. Only two need reservations, the steakhouse and the adult only french one. The resort credits are mainly for excursions and spa treatments however they limit on how much you can use for the spa and you need to pay a tax on what you use. Still an alright deal in my opinion. Had some friends do the dolphin swim with their credits and it turned out to be a good deal. There's nothing that you have to pay for other than extras that would cost you at any other resort like Golf, spa etc. Hope this helps. BTW, I just booked again for the end of the year

[@CynTexasgirl]

Great video! Will be there in August for my 20th anniversary any suggestions on what me and my husband should do. How do I find out about any shows or acts.. Thanks in advance

[@EverydayReviews2022]

The shows and activities are on screens throughout the resort plus they also announce it on speakers located throughout the resort. If you’ve never been to Cancun and Riviera Maya, you might want you take a tour maybe to the ruins if you’re into that. We’ve been several times so for us, it’s just stay in the resort for R & R. Have fun!

Great video! just wondering if you thought this resort was more on the family aspect side of things, I'm just coming out of high school and me and some friends are looking into doing a trip down in Mexico but of course we don't want to be surrounded by kids the whole time, if you have any recommendations for a good resort thats a good value and would suit the young adult needs let me know! it'd be much appreciated, thanks so much!

[@EverydayReviews2022]

This resort might not be the perfect fit for you. I'd pick something in the hotel zone in Cancun. You guys will have a blast down there. This one is better for families I'd say. Have fun and be safe!

[@charlescoby5741]

Hello did you have a hard time flying your drone around the resort?

[@EverydayReviews2022]

I didn’t have any issue but I never flew at low altitudes or over people. I took off from a quiet area and went straight up I’ve seen some people that launched from the pool and flew around, that’s so wrong and it’s because of actions like this that will ruin it for those responsible flyers just wanting to get some nice aerials without bothering anyone. The only time I was lower was at the beach when there was no one around.

[@charlescoby5741]

Ok thank you so much, love your video

[@jayw9235]

Palace member here, been going to Moon Palace for years. I think it's absurd that you need to pay for a day pass to use the Grand. Wonder if this applies to lobby bar, club, adult pool, etc. Went last July and were free to enter the Grand for those things mentioned.

Again, great review. Everything about the hotel is fantastic and despite the size they made you feel special. We'll be trying the restaurants that we missed next time but they were all great.

How long is the walk from room to beach? From the looks of it it seems more exhausting than relaxing.

[@EverydayReviews2022]

Depends where your room is could be 30 ft or 400 ft. It’s nothing. If you watch part 3 I walk it in about 7.5 min from one end to the other. Helps burn all the calories you intake. You can always take a golf cart but we walked most of the time.

We are going in April so thanks for this video, we can't even wait to get there. I notice your wristband is black, I've heard that's a special one, is it and if so how do you get it? TIA

[@EverydayReviews2022]

+Tina David I was wondering why our bands were a different colour as well. Most people had yellow bands. Actually the yellow bands would open your room while ours didn’t. When I asked at the front desk, they said that the colours differentiate what group you bought your booking from. We booked through Air Canada Vacations while our friends booked directly through the hotel. Didn’t give us any better service or privileges though.

[@nurialinares5501]

Nuria*** Hello, loved the video. I'm a member and we have black bands. I know that at Sunrise you have places by the beach and pool set-up and only certain bands can go in or stay there. My family and I will also be there April 1st. I'm a little disappointed due to the adult only restaurant and the Slides that are not yet open 🤔. I always stay at Sunrise and I LOVE it! I tottaly hate the beach palace. The service was terrible. I do enjoy the fact that they take you to the other hotels like IslaMujeres, and more and still all inclusive. I agree with you no charge for anything. We pay upfront $$$$. People don't get it. This is a luxury hotel and the Amenities are Exceptional!!

[@EverydayReviews2022]

I'm actually thinking about booking again for the winter right now. Pretty good prices now.

[@jpforcum]

Thank you for a great review! There have been a lot of reviews for the GMP, but yours was a perfect mix of pros, cons, and commentary. Thanks! Can you tell us if you visited the Nizuc and Sunrise much during your trip and how complicated transport was between them and the Grand Moon? Thank you! We are headed there later this Spring.

[@EverydayReviews2022]

+jpforcum We went to Nizuc for a visit one day. Like I said, we missed half of our own resort so not a lot of time to explore the others. The easiest way to get to the others is they have a big tour bus style shuttle that goes from lobby to lobby every 15 min. Enjoy, jealous for you.

We just back from one of the palace all inclusive, my biggest concern is the mattress which is way too soft, and therefore lack of support. The bedding is also below the average, at very thing side. I’m keen to know if the moon palace has better bed and bedding. Thanks a lot
