Re: goin to palace in may for first time May is a great time to go. Not too hot, not overyl crowded. We have been to the cancun palace 6 times, 4 of those in May. We are going this may for 3 days after a 7 day stint at the playacar palace. I hope it is ready, I think if they are opening now we should be fine by May.
Cancun palace Thanks for the udpates DaveT!!!! We cannot wait. Now I wish we could have split the 10 days and stayed 1/2 at CP and 1/2 at PP. We can't wait for the pics. I hope a lot of the old employees are there! :!:
CP April 26-May 1 Well, after reading all these posts as well as the Trip Advisor forum, I think my husband and I are going to switch to CP instead of the Royal. Hopefully, everything will be functioning when we are there!!
Tours Thru Palace Resorts Has anyone ever taken advatage of the tours that Palace Resorts offers? I was just curious as to how that works. When I go in June, I would like to take my daughter to Wet n Wild or Isla Mujeres - so I was just wondering how it is free. Do you just get a free shuttle over to the Isle when they see your wristband or free entry to the waterpark. I am assuming that you must pay for your transportation to and from the port and/or waterpark. Thanks, Ellabear424
We have used the free tours. We used the Isla tour 3 times. You have to get to wet 'n wild (bus or walk from CP) and they provide transporation via boat toa private beach club w/ a buffett lunch and all you can drink w/ palace employees. The first 2 times were great, they have since moved (2005 trip) and the beach was not nice, not enough chairs and too many flies around the food. That time we thanked them for the free transportation and went into town. I would recommend using the free trans and then getting a golf cart and explore. It is easy to catch a fairy back and then get a cab to the hotel unless you can be back before they leave. They will take the boat to the town after the beach for shopping so you can meet them there. We also used Tulum twice. Spent a lot of time picking up and dropping of people and stopped at a market south of Playa for 45 mintues. Great tour, long day. I think for the wet 'n wild you have to get there (again bus) and you have vouchers for food and free admission.
Re: goin to palace in may for first time We are going to be at the playacar palace from 19-26 and the cancun palace 26-28.
Ok, so if you're eating with the Palace employees - are they trying to sell you on time shares during your tours???? We are already members but they always try to get us to upgrade. I remember going to Isla yrs ago and the flies were crazy around the food. I would just like to go veg out on the PLAYA NORTE. I surely do not want to be hassled. What beach was "not that great"??? Thanks for everything, Ellabear424
Yes...and it's A/I. Unless they've changed their policy, you should bring with you your Palace towel cards so you can get fresh clean towels at the "beach club". Of course, remember to turn the towels back in to have your cards returned. When I went, the A/I included the buffet, a grill, anything at the bar, and non-motorized beach stuff (floating mats, canoes, etc.) Anything else they offer in association with this tour such as snorkeling and playing with dolphins are not included and you have to prepay. At least, that's how it was when I went.
