Welcome to Moon Palace Cancun, where I recently visited and saw just how many outdoor activities this all-inclusive resort in Cancun, Mexico, has to offer. There is truly something for everyone in the family!
There is a beautiful beach, as well as pools, golf, complimentary bikes, pickleball and tennis courts, basketball courts, billiards, table games, squash, bocce, horseshoes, a giant outdoor chess ice skating rink, and non-motorized sports….just to name a few!
A fully equipped sports marina offers non-motorized sports hobie cat, kayak, paddleboard, or catamaran. There are single and tandem kayaks, and 4-seater catamarans for your use. Note that at least one adult is required to operate the equipment. Also, note that the marina is closed on Mondays for reef conservation efforts. Activities are subject to weather conditions. There is also a variety of motorized water sports such as wave runners. If you’re a beginning diver, you can sign up for introductory scuba lesson in the resort pool.
The resort has 7 pools between the Sunrise and Nizuc areas of the resort for your enjoyment. There is also a large water park with slides, splash pads, a lazy river, and a wave pool to enjoy. Frolic in the two huge outdoor lagoon-style pools, two of the largest in any Mexican luxury resort. Each pool is 650 feet long and contains Jacuzzis, swim-up bars, and children’s areas. There is also an indoor pool for those times when you want to be out of the sun. Lounge chairs and poolside towel service is also included.
There is a Flowrider Double Wave Simulator that is open from 9:00am – 5:00pm where you can enjoy two lanes of endless waves. If you’ve never surfed before, it’s okay – you can start on your knees and work your way up to your feet. You can reserve private time slots for up to 8 people at an additional fee.
There is miniature golfing at the hotel that is included in your stay. For more serious golfing, check into the golf specials at booking time! Enjoy golf at the Moon Palace Golf Club and experience the Jack Nicklaus signature courses near the resort premises. Tee times may be reserved prior to arrival, up to 90 days in advance. The golf club operates 365 day a year from 6:00am – dusk. The Jack Nicklaus Academy of Golf is available for those who wish to learn the techniques and playing philosophy of Jack Nicklaus.
Last but not least, there is also an ice rink on property that is included in your stay. Just bring a pair of socks or you can purchase a pair for $5. In addition, there are two dedicated basketball courts as well as four tennis/pickleball courts available for your use. Pro tennis lessons are also available for an additional fee. There are also complimentary bikes available for riding around the beautiful resort, and these are also included.
