Fall in love with luxury at Sun Palace – I know I sure did!! Sun Palace Resort is located in the Mexican Caribbean and is an adult-only all-inclusive luxury resort. You’ll enjoy a great beach, fabulous pools, excellent food, and great service at this resort! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this wonderful resort and know you will too!

What does “All-Inclusive” mean at Sun Palace?

You will experience luxurious accommodations, top-shelf drinks, gourmet meals by world-class chefs, 24-hour room service, in-room double whirlpool tubs, high-speed WIFI, and more! This is ALL INCLUDED with your resort stay!

Accommodations

Sun  Palace has great room categories to fit your needs! No matter where you are at this resort, you’ll see gorgeous views of the ocean, a minibar stocked with liquor, and state-of-the-art technology in your room for your comfort and entertainment.

Superior Deluxe Ocean View: This is the room category I stayed in! You’ll have great views of the Caribbean Sea and it comes with great amenities. These rooms can fit 2 – 4 adults and come with either aKing or 2 double beds, depending on if you’re visiting for a couple’s vacation or making it a friend trip! Enjoy a balcony with 2 chairs and a table to enjoy the sunrise from your room! This room was great for couples (and would be great for friend trips too!) The bathroom is not separate from the room, but you do have a private door to the toilet area.

Superior Junior Suite Ocean View:  Unwind in this spacious suite with views of the Caribbean Sea from your balcony, then enjoy the double whirlpool tub with a glass of your complimentary Robert Mondavi wine. These rooms also have 1 king-size bed or 2 double beds and hold 2-4 adults, depending on the number of guests traveling in your group.

Superior Honeymoon Suite: These rooms include additional amenities like private check in, an exclusive beach area, and my favorite snack drawer!! The snack drawer includes treats to have in the room at any time and can always be replenished at your request. These rooms have 1 king bed with an ocean view.

Superior Governor Suite: This is an exclusive suite for two, which includes a spacious bedroom, living room, and dining room area,  signature amenities, and upgraded in-room liquor options. You’ll get to choose from aromatherapy and pillow menus, relax on your balcony and enjoy the gorgeous views.

Superior One-Bedroom Presidential Suite: Enjoy an exclusive self-contained paradise. You can enjoy a double whirlpool tub on your private balcony along with upgraded premium alcohol. 24-hour gourmet room service, and much more.

Dining

There are 4 different restaurants available for delicious meals. Right now, reservations are not required and can change depending on the time of year you are visiting. You can make the reservations when you check in at the front desk. Be sure to ask your travel agent if this will be required to make during your stay or not. ;) We tried all 4 restaurants during our visit for dinner. They are all SO good and offer beautiful views of the ocean from all locations. You’ll also have the option to dine outside at some of these restaurants, so if you prefer indoor or outdoor dining, you’ll have great options to choose from!

Thai: Pan-Asian cuisine (I loved the hot rock I got to cook my steak on at this restaurant!)

Fuego: Latin American-inspired fire cooking  (This open-air restaurant had a delicious steak that was even fire-roasted by our table!)

La Tratto: Italian flavor (Try the tableside freshly made Caesar Salad!)

Aurora: International delicacies during the day and Mexican-Inspired cuisine at night (I loved the views from this restaurant and the food was SO good!)

Bars and Entertainment

Lobby Bar

You’ll find a beautiful lobby bar (actually off to the side of the lobby and not directly in the lobby- don’t let the name confuse you!) You’ll find a huge TV for you to watch your favorite sports, live music and a dance floor, a huge bar fully stocked with tons of options, and plenty of space for everyone to hang out and relax.

Pool / Wet Bar

My favorite bar! Let the drinks come to you, or swim up to the bar in the swimming pool! It’s a great place to get a frozen drink to sip on in the pool or while you lounge in your pool chair.

Snack Bar

This bar is located next to the Pool Bar and pool! It’s a great place for shade during the day and to get some lunch. You’ll find great Mexican food, drinks, and burgers, and you can even get pizza from the wood-fired pizza oven located nearby!

Sweet & Coffee

My favorite place for a morning coffee and afternoon pick me up! They make delicious coffee as well as pastries, hang painted chocolates,  ice cream, and Dan’s favorite– crepes!

Pool/Beach Areas

Pool

 You can enjoy the beach or pool during your stay! There are 2 pool areas at this resort. The large infinity pool with the swim up bar is the main pool where the daily entertainment happens. You’ll find chairs/ and umbrellas all along the pool area. My only complaint was that you had to be an early riser to get a chair/umbrella because many people rushed out early to get a good spot. The chairs will only be held for one hour, so by the time you get down there to pick up towels and claim your spot, you’ll have an hour to get back to your location if you don’t want your items to be removed and taken by someone else.

Beach

The beach area has chairs/umbrellas as well. The ocean is swimmable, so you do have a small roped-off area (for safety) to swim in if you choose. These chairs did not fill up as quickly as the pool area.

Activities

There is so much to see and do when staying at Sun Palace! You can relax by the pool or in the spa, or book fun excursions off property into the heart of Mexico!

Sun Palace Spa

Take part in the hydrotherapy water journey at the spa. This complimentary service is available when you book any spa treatments, and you are provided with lockers, slippers and robes. Once you finish hydrotherapy, you can book many of the wonderful spa services that Sun Palace offers for an additional charge.

Golf

Enjoy the 27-hold Jack Nicklaugh Signature Golf Course that sits at Moon Palace Cancun. You’ll be able to take park in the golf academy and get guidance from a gold pro (for an additional charge)

Non-Motorized Water Sports

You can enjoy snorkeling and other water experiences based on availability and weather conditions.

Fitness Center

Sun Palace includes a state-of-the-art fitness center with gorgeous views staffed with certified instructors and offers a variety of class options.

Explore Mexico

Book a tour with the concierge at Sun Palace and experience adventure, culture, or more throughout the Riviera Maya. You will find an experience for you to enjoy! This includes Extreme Snorkeling, ATV/Zip Line Tours, Fishing and Sailing Experiences, Tulum Tours, Chichen Itza Tours, and more! I booked a last-minute Chichen Itza Tour and highly recommend it! We got to explore the Mayan Ruins, but also got to visit the Cenotes which was SO cool! You can book your tours and activities in advance with your travel agent, or you can book these experiences when you arrive.

Entertainment

We saw some great nightly entertainment every night of our stay at Sun Palace! You’ll get to see musicians, dancers, and artists from all different international backgrounds. Be sure to check the Palace Resort APP for show schedules and times. This is always subject to change without notice. Some performances included:

Fuego Fire Show

Caribbean Show

DJ Music Party

Burlesque Show

Aqua Aerialist Show 

You’ll also find pool games during the day which can be very entertaining and you don’t want to miss it!

My Overall Review

This resort is a boutique-type feel resort and is not over the top and outrageously huge. It’s beautiful and quiet, clean, and perfect for a relaxing getaway with your partner or friend. It’s super easy to get to and from the airport from this hotel, and I love how friendly the staff is! The food, service,  amenities, beach, and pools are all phenomenal and I loved my stay here! I definitely plan to come back and stay at this gorgeous resort again! I honestly have nothing bad to say about this resort.

Did you know when you book this resort with me, you’ll set special amenities and services that I can offer you that booking directly with the resort can’t? I would love to help you plan your vacation to this wonderful resort! Be sure to contact me for more information and a free no-obligation quote!
