Moon Palace is known for it’s great food. The hotel doesn’t provide any so it’s a good reminder to one to bring with you. *Be sure to bring a life jacket or puddle jumper style wearable flotation device for your child if they’re still not comfortable swimming on their own. There is often a bit of a line but usually they take down your name and room number so you can hang out in the area to wait for your turn.

MOOM PALACE GRAND SECTION ROOMS SIMULATOR
The FlowRider surf simulator is also located in the Sunrise section and is a ton of fun! It allows 2 people to try their hand at stationary surfing at a time. My daughter has never really liked those big buckets that tips over dumping a huge amount of water over the slides so she’s always just enjoyed playing on the mini water slides and splash areas. There is also a great kids pool & water play area in the Sunrise section complete with slides. Around all of the pools you’ll find lots of loungers and a few spots for shades. The pools are amongst the largest lagoon style pools in all of Mexico winding around most of the main area in front of the two lobbies right to the beach so it’s usually easy enough to get a spot directly in front of one of the sections of the pool. There are pools located in both the Nizuc and Sunrise sections of the resort with waterslides. The hours of the kids clubs can vary but is usually as follows…Nizuc Playroom (10am-10pm), Sunrise Playroom (8am-10pm) & the Teen Lounge in the Sunrise lobby (9am-10pm). We once did a little sundae making activity which was fun. When you check in with the Playroom they always have a prepared activities schedule for the week with locations where things will take place. On a rainy day or even insanely hot day it’s nice to know there’s an indoor spot you can head to with the kids to keep them entertained and busy. She’s really enjoyed the dress up runway fashion room, playing in the indoor playground and doing crafts. We’ve spent time in the Nizuc Playroom spread out over several visits to Moon Palace. I’ve always enjoyed taking my daughter to kids clubs at different hotels long before she turned 4 so she could play with other kids and often in the middle of the hottest part of the day for a break from the hot sun.The Playrooms have different areas such as a dollhouse, indoor soft play space with climbers and slides, baby area, a mini kitchen, creative arts space and video game area. Both are open to kids of all ages however only kids 4 and up can stay in the Playroom without a guardian. There are Playrooms located in both the Sunrise and Nizuc sections of the resort. It sits just south of the Hotel Zone off the major roadway leading to the entire Mayan Riviera and is only about a 20 minute drive from the airport. Moon Palace Cancun is located in Cancun although it’s not in the actual Hotel Zone. So starting with the original part of the hotel, here’s a look at everything Moon Palace Cancun’s Nizuc & Sunrise sections offer vacationers with kids to comfortably vacation in paradise…

Since Moon Palace renovated and reopened the new Grand section of their resort, The Grand operates mainly as it’s own property and is worth an entire post on its own.

Once our daughter Isla was born we slipped right into seeing Moon through a different lens focusing now on our experiences as a family getting to test out all of the kid friendly amenities. Our home is located just 20 minutes from Moon Palace Cancun and we have so many great memories here as we’ve been in & out of the hotel on a regular basis over the years. One of the advantages of living & working in paradise is we end up at some of Cancun’s top all-inclusive luxury resorts very often getting to blur the lines between being a local & tourist.
