Moon Palace Cancun
Cancun, Cancun and Costa Mujeres · Welcomes all ages · All-inclusive
The largest resort in Mexico, and it behaves like it: an enormous kids club, a wave machine, mini golf and free bikes. The catch is the beach, which is narrow, rocky and not really for swimming, so this is a pool-and-activities holiday rather than a beach one.

Separate property from Moon Palace The Grand on the same complex (Carretera Cancun-Chetumal Km 340). moonpalace.com snippet advertises 17 dining options, 13 bars and 7 pools for Moon Palace Cancun but it was unclear whether that counts restaurants only, so left null. The water park is at The Grand; whether Moon Palace Cancun guests can use it was not confirmed. Kids club attribution on official pages was unclear between the two properties. moonpalace.com blocks fetch.
