We had an amazing time at this resort! I had stayed at the Cancun Palace a long while ago, which is now the Hard Rock Hotel/Resort, and it was just as I expected, Awesome! The resort is a smaller one, which is better that way, only because there's no kids allowed. The staff at Sun Palace was awesome, especially Daniel... More

Well rating are really off on this one - they should have a six as my husband says. We stayed a week and almost cried when we went home. The staff was smiling and happy to do anything for you.

This is the first time I have ever submitted anything to trip advisor. The Sun Palace was amazing. We had a little trouble at first when we were shown our room but after a little work and some small complaining we were able to upgrade to an AMAZING room (Thank you to Karla, who works in the front lobby, she...

I really loved our stay at Sun Palace. We just got back a couple of days ago, and I already miss the daily activities (pool / beach volleyball especially). There are too many good things to say about our stay, I'm sure I will forget a few! This was our (me and my girlfriend's) first time visiting Cancun. We are... More

Yours is a review of a guest who did his homework in choosing a resort. Why do I know this? Because of yur comments on activities and tours. Our activities are designed in a low key fashion. If you enjoy them, do them and if you don't don't, without that feeling of "missing out" which comes with many activites choices... More

This was our fourth visit to the Sun Palace. My husband and I always return there when we need R&R time. Each visit keeps getting better. We used our points to upgrade to concierge level, take a trip to Isla Mujeres, spa time and we also used points to buy tequila and cigars. Well worth the 11% tax we had... More

Such a wonderful review! I was wondering: You mention that the lobby bar is rather hidden. For the most part I feel it is sub-utilized. You think this might be the reason? Before our total makeover in 2006, the lobby bar opened into the main lobby. We enclosed because we had comments on the noise. Any ideas on this? Write... More

Just returned from the Sun palace after a week’s trip to the resort with my girlfriend.

Totally agree that one of the most important facets of a stay is arrival. When it has to do with transportation issues there is precious little we can do and it shows in your review. It is a very detailed comment of different situations. Some are quite recurrent and important and for these I apologize and take full responsibility. From... More

What draws my attention in your review is the title: Perfect week as expected. And-other than praising your great review- I am sitting here thinking to myself: "Is there anyone who does not expect to have a perfect week?" And then of course, the question hits you: What is perfection? But a guy named Will said it long ago: "Beauty... More
