http://cancun-hotels.tripadvisor.co...6-Cancun_Palace-Cancun_Yucatan_Peninsula.html It is a pretty long review, so here is the link.
Wow. I don't know where he/she was, but my family and eight guests saw nothing like that. In fact, our flat panel tv in the Cancun Palace had nearly 20 channels (10 more than in years past). I guess it is possible that certain floors were problematic, but our floor - the 10th, was awesome. We stayed in room 1052. We had five rooms in a row. We did not hear people complaining at the desk, nor did we hear any general rumblings about toilets, construction, tv problems, flooding, etc. I'm sure it's possible, but we sure as heck didn't experience any of that, nor did we hear of it.

It would seem that someone from the hotel contacted people that stayed there previous to its closing and asked them to post a review based on the 2 reviews that preceded the aforementioned lengthy one. Both stayed there quite a while ago, yet at least one mentioned hotel staff in the review and thanked them for reopening. I've never stayed there, just following the thread as it goes on.
I am not doubting this persons story - but I do not like or trust trip advisor at times. I was on a message board a while back, I think it was Loco Gringo and some guy intentionally wrote a horrible review about a small resort in Akumal because he wanted to make sure that he could get a room next time. He openly admitted that the place was just awesome and he was afraid that it would be booked for his next visit. NOW that is dirty!!! I am off to aerobics and I will check in with you when I get back.

ELLABEAR424, Good job! Thanks for sharing the link. It's looking pretty great. I can't wait for Nick to report in. Jan
the truth Ok here we are! EXCEPT When we arrived at the airport it was clear the previous "charter" terminal was still under construction so you get on a bus to customs. No real hassle there except you are outside for a while waiting for customs. Then when its time to hook up transportation to the Cancun Palace they tell you that it really not operational yet - you can go there if you want but there are not many people; option - go to the Moon Palace for the same price. We took it. First thing we did was eat since we really had no breakfast. The whole prime rib was just sitting there waiting for us. Cut off your own slice (which I like to do because I always want the bone). Taste, no bs excellent. Then the deserts that the palace resorts always have out. Wonderful. Now off to the room. If you have ever stayed at MP we are right on the beach wall looking out. Yeah the are still raking up the grass but have some sandy areas if you want to swim but this beach has never been one you'd want to swim in. Lots of water stuff going on - emphasis on jet skis. Weather cloudy over the airport clear at MP. I will definitely have more palace news as time goes on and Cathy and I will check out the CP and see what the deal is. Nick
yikes, so you cant even stay at cp??!! from the other review posted on cancunmx.com, the guy claims it wont even be ready for another 6 mos.... it this true? am i gonna be staying at a half ass hotel in may?? =(
Re: the truth The Cancun Palace is open as Dave T and others have reported staying there already. It's just that not all the amenities are available and there are fewer peeps staying there at present.
HOLD YOUR APPLAUSE!!! I have worked my fingers to the bone, clicking away, trying to find us some information. Here is what I have found!!! http://cancuntrip.homestead.com/index.html Let me know if you are able to see the pics. ELLABEAR424
