Remarks:
"The rooms and pools are fabulous. Initially the Mayan Palace feels huge but once you learn the paths its is not so bad. The drinks are pricey $7.50 and $9.50 for most and 2-for-1 Happy Hours are not really 2'fers but they make'em doubles which they don't tell you up front. I have to say they really pack a punch. Service on the beach was poor though. Shopping at the resort is outrageous. Around $11 bucks for a pack of Keebler cookies for example. Shuttle service to the main gate to catch shuttles is lacking...the taxis charge you $2 bucks a person to get to the main gate...once again if you don't mind walking a little it's about an 8 minute walk. The restaurants are a bit spendy but so was everything in Playa Del Carmen and Cancun. The all you can eat steak buffet was pricey but great food and entertaining show if you want to splurge one night. The beach is not swimable...you have to walk down to the beach in front of other resorts to find places to swim in the ocean." - B.C. from Portland, Oregon
