Luxe romantic beachfront resort with in-room hot tubs
The Sun Palace in Cancun, Mexico, is a beach-front hotel designed exclusively for couples. The hotel has an indoor pool and three outdoor infinity pools that appear as though they are spilling into the ocean. Friendly customer service and a host of modern amenities are available. The convenient location of the hotel puts it in close proximity to many recreational activities, but guests feel like they have their own private sanctuary when in their rooms. The accommodation includes a Jacuzzi, private balcony, king-sized bed and panoramic views. The five restaurants and three bars ensure you'll never go hungry.
Reasons to stay
  • Couples-only vibe is ideal for romantic getaways
  • Proximity to beach, shops, dining and recreation
  • Breathtaking views from every room
Sun Palace rooms
The modern, contemporary style of the rooms and suites at the Sun Palace are designed to provide tranquility and comfort. Each of the 252 rooms comes with a balcony that provides great views of the Caribbean Sea or Nichupte Lagoon, as well as large glass doors leading to the balcony that also allow generous views while inside. Amenities and services include an LCD TV with satellite, free wireless Internet, plush bathrobes and slippers, nightly turndown service and 24-hour concierge service.

great vacation!!!

This hotel is fantastic! We arrived really early and our room was ready in 10 minutes. The moment we walked in we were greeted by a cold towel and a drink. The concierge went over h0w our 1500 credit could be used.This is the breakdown. Only 300 can be used torward the spa. I got a 80 min vitamin c facial and a 80 min deep tissue massage. I had to come out of pocket 70 dollars but so worth it. The best massage ever!! you cannot use the 1500 credit on most of the long excusions. You can use credits for upgrade to concierge level which include lobster & steak dinner on beach and 2 20 min message for 280 credits.Photography session, ziplining, and limo to the airport. The serivce is fantastic, never had to wait at restaurants. If you give a tip to the bartender it really goes a long way.They appreciate it so much.

The swim with the dolphins attraction was great and a good price when used with the resort credit. HOWEVER the pictures they sell there are way overpriced. A 3 picture package on CD, not even prints, is $69.00 USD. Not a great value on memories.

Mexican Vacation

We had a great time at this hotel. Staff was very friendly and helped you out in any way you needed. Hotel was very clean and well maintained. Food was good, after about a week you are ready for something different then what they have to offer but overall good stuff. Had a great time and hope to one day make it back.

If you want to go shopping try taking the city "blue" bus only 8.5 pesos (about .75 US) clean, nice bus that you can get around Cancun in. If you take a taxi it about 100-200 pesos to go anywhere so the bus was a great deal.

Sun Palace Resort

The hotel was not what we expected. The pictures made it look better then it really was. The food was ok. The pool space was small...very crowded. It was much further away from the downtown area then we were told when we booked it. We did take advantage of the $1500 resort credits by doing a zipline tour which was fun. Alot of the other stuff we wanted to do was completely booked by the time we even got their which was annoying.

Super Relaxing!

We spent most of our time by the pool and in the ocean. The ocean water is blue, warm and clear and the beaches are well kept. Being it is a couples only resort, there were no children running around and screaming which added to the relaxation factor. (We did visit the Moon Palace and even though it is much larger, with more restaurant choices, it wasn't as a relaxing evironment).

Sightseeing tip: Not Applicable

We did the 2.5 hour trip from our resort to Chichen Itza. We would likely not go again if we traveled back to Cancun. However, considering it's in the "wonder of the world category" we are glad we went. It's an one time must see if your in the area. Also, I think the silver prices at the town we stopped to eat lunch at were a little steep in comparison to prices in Northern Mexico.

5th visit to Cancun

This was our 5th trip to Cancun so we knew what to expect and what things were important to us. Simply, we are beach people. The pools and all the extras (tours, massages and upgrades) are fine, but we don't place a high value on them. Chair/umbrella availability and beach service were the best we've ever had in Cancun. Of the five places we've stayed in Cancun (Sun Palace, Cancun Palace, Moon Palace, RIU Caribe and Dreams) Sun Palace has jumped to the top of our list!

Great Relaxing Resort

Food was great, a huge selection and plenty of fresh fruit! The staff was very friendly and overall the resort was one of the nicer all-inclusives we've been to. The buffets had quality food and there were a lot of "on the grille" options too. One of the best steaks was the fillet at the authentic Mexican restaurant at the resort! Very relaxing, we will return.

Sun Palace seems to run "resort credit" promotions. If you can get some resort credit, it is good for booking many things and can be used towards massages, excursions, and a variety of other things.
