The Moon Palace is located on the picturesque Yucatan Peninsula – home to the signature championship Jack Nicklaus 27-hole golf course, a five star spa where you can be pampered in thirty spacious treatment rooms, as well as 13 restaurants. Offering 2,457 guestrooms all with a double Jacuzzi, its luxurious environment is reflected in the meticulous interiors, designed to be in tune with the peaceful and tropical surroundings. Touting nearly 2,000 square feet of white sand beach, the hotel serves as a secluded hideaway situated between 123 acres of tropical foliage. Moon Palace’s two lagoon-style pools stretch more than 650 feet along the shimmering beach. With swim-up bars and Jacuzzis, they offer an appealing retreat for all to kick back, relax and enjoy a refreshing break from every day life.
