Palace Resorts will always hold a special place in our hearts—it was the very first all-inclusive brand we experienced over 20 years ago. That initial resort, Aventura Spa Palace, has since been sold and reflagged as Hard Rock Riviera Maya, marking just one of many exciting shifts for the brand over the years. Most recently, the parent company officially rebranded to The Palace Company, expanding its portfolio across four distinct luxury hospitality arms: Palace Resorts, Moon Palace Resorts, Le Blanc Spa Resorts, and Baglioni Hotels & Resorts.

Moon Palace The Grand – Punta Cana

At a Glance: 🏝️ Brand-New Mega-Resort Debut on La Costa del Coco

Resort Overview: Positioned as the largest new all-inclusive resort debut in the Caribbean, this sprawling property marks The Palace Company’s expansion into the Dominican Republic. Featuring 2,171 suites, 19 distinct dining venues, and 9 pools, the complex delivers a massive family-friendly ecosystem complete with a wave-simulator water park, a full-service casino, an 18-hole Greg Norman-designed golf course, and a luxury spa.

🎯 Planning & Strategy Tip: Because of the resort’s massive footprint, take advantage of the internal shuttle service to travel between the golf course, central water park, and distant dining venues. Families with young children should request accommodations near the central water park area to minimize walking times.

Quick Facts: 2,171 suites | 19 restaurants & 8 bars | 9 outdoor pools | Water park, casino, & golf course | All-Ages

Le Blanc Spa Resort Cancun

At a Glance: 💎 AAA Five Diamond Ultra-Luxury in the Hotel Zone

Resort Overview: Consistently rated as the benchmark for luxury in Cancun, Le Blanc is an opulent, minimalist sanctuary. Built around personal butler service, fine dining that rivals standalone Michelin-starred establishments, and a quiet oceanfront layout, it caters strictly to adult travelers seeking tranquility over pool parties.

🎯 Planning & Strategy Tip: Take full advantage of your complimentary butler. Have them arrange custom aromatherapy scents for your suite, prepare your pillow selection, and secure early dinner reservations at Lumière, the resort’s flagship French-fusion restaurant.

Quick Facts: 259 suites | 6 restaurants & 5 bars | 3 oceanfront pools | Full-service spa | Adults-only (18+)

Le Blanc Spa Resort Los Cabos

At a Glance: 🌵 Desert-Meets-Ocean Opulence in Baja California

Resort Overview: Mirroring the high-end luxury of its Cancun sister property, Le Blanc Los Cabos pairs sleek contemporary design with panoramic views of the Sea of Cortez. The resort features oversized suites (including private swim-out options), personalized butler care, hydrotherapy spa circuits, and gourmet dining.

🎯 Planning & Strategy Tip: Due to strong Pacific ocean currents along the Cabo corridor, the oceanfront beach here is non-swimmable. Plan to spend your days around the four multi-tiered infinity pool decks, which feature attentive poolside cocktail and dining service.

Quick Facts: 369 suites | 8 restaurants & 5 bars | 4 outdoor pools | Full hydrotherapy spa | Adults-only (18+)

Moon Palace Cancun (Sunrise & Nizuc Sections)

At a Glance: 🥳 Sprawling Family Mega-Resort Compound

Resort Overview: Stretching along Cancun’s southern coastline, this 2,052-room mega-resort is split into two interconnected beachfront wings: Sunrise (high-energy, home to the FlowRider wave simulator, water park, and youth zones) and Nizuc (a quieter, more relaxed section favored by couples and families with younger children). Guests staying in either section enjoy full, seamless crossover access to all dining, pools, and amenities across both Sunrise and Nizuc.

🎯 Planning & Strategy Tip: Understand the access boundaries. Staying at Sunrise or Nizuc gives you free access to each other’s facilities, but does not grant entry to The Grand at Moon Palace next door. If you want quieter mornings, book your room on the Nizuc side and walk or take the shuttle over to Sunrise for afternoon entertainment.

Quick Facts: 2,052 combined rooms | 17 restaurants & 12 bars | Multiple pool complexes & water park | All-Ages

Moon Palace The Grand Cancun

At a Glance: 👑 Ultra-Premium VIP Enclave inside Moon Palace

It features its own massive private water park, an indoor bowling alley, a speakeasy lounge, and upscale culinary concepts.

🎯 Planning & Strategy Tip: Booking a suite at The Grand unlocks unrestricted, complimentary access to the entire Moon Palace compound (including all facilities at Sunrise and Nizuc). It is the ideal choice for travelers who want VIP luxury while still having access to mega-resort entertainment.

Quick Facts: 1,304 suites | 11 restaurants & 10 bars | Private water park & bowling alley | All-Ages

Sun Palace Cancun

At a Glance: 👩‍❤️‍👨 Intimate Adults-Only Romantic Haven

Resort Overview: Located on the quieter southern end of Cancun’s Hotel Zone, Sun Palace is a boutique-style, adults-only property designed specifically for couples. Featuring oceanfront infinity pools, in-suite double whirlpool tubs, and highly attentive beach service, it offers an intimate alternative to sprawling mega-resorts.

🎯 Planning & Strategy Tip: Because of the resort’s compact footprint, walking distances between rooms, dining, and the beach are minimal. Request a suite on the higher floors for unobstructed sunrise views over the Caribbean Sea.

Quick Facts: 245 rooms | 4 restaurants & 4 bars | 3 outdoor pools | Adults-only (18+)

Beach Palace Cancun

At a Glance: 🏙️ Walkable, Family-Friendly Hotel Zone Stay

Resort Overview: Positioned in the heart of Cancun’s Hotel Zone, Beach Palace is a compact, high-rise resort that caters to both families and couples. It features bright accommodations, a wide stretch of swimmable beach, an active kids’ club, and signature rooftop pools offering panoramic views of both the ocean and Nichupté Lagoon.

🎯 Planning & Strategy Tip: Head to the rooftop pool deck late in the afternoon. It offers some of the best elevated sunset views over the lagoon, complete with lounge chairs and cocktail service away from the main beach crowd.

Quick Facts: 287 rooms | 5 restaurants & 4 bars | 2 pools (including rooftop) | All-Ages

Playacar Palace

At a Glance: 🛍️ Beachfront Luxury Steps from Playa del Carmen’s 5th Avenue

Resort Overview: Situated in the gated Playacar community, this resort combines a wide, powdery white-sand beach with unmatched walkability. Guests can relax by the pool or walk just a few minutes off-property to explore the vibrant dining, shopping, and nightlife of Playa del Carmen’s famous Quinta Avenida (5th Avenue).

🎯 Planning & Strategy Tip: Playacar Palace is one of the best launchpads for regional excursions. You can walk directly to the Cozumel Ferry Pier next door for a day trip or stroll into town for local shopping without paying for taxis.

Quick Facts: 200 rooms | 5 restaurants & 4 bars | 1 main oceanfront pool | All-Ages

Cozumel Palace

At a Glance: 🤿 Snorkeling & Scuba Diving Paradise

Resort Overview: Located on the oceanfront of Cozumel island, this colonial-style property is custom-built for water sports enthusiasts. While the resort features an oceanfront pool deck rather than a traditional walk-in sandy beach, guest stairs lead directly into crystal-clear waters where you can snorkel along colorful coral reefs right off the property.

🎯 Planning & Strategy Tip: Take advantage of the on-site dive pier. You can coordinate directly with local dive operators to be picked up by boat right at the resort pier for morning reef dives, bypassing the main island marina.

Quick Facts: 169 rooms | 3 restaurants & 3 bars | 2 pools | Direct ocean water access | All-Ages

Moon Palace Jamaica

At a Glance: 🌴 Private Beachfront & Island Excursions in Ocho Rios

Resort Overview: Set along a private beach cove in Ocho Rios, Moon Palace Jamaica infuses Caribbean hospitality with Palace Resorts’ signature all-inclusive amenities. The property features 680 ocean-view suites, a FlowRider wave simulator, and the massive Awe Spa—the largest spa facility in Jamaica.

🎯 Planning & Strategy Tip: The resort’s location puts you just 5 to 10 minutes away from major Jamaican attractions like Dunn’s River Falls and Mystic Mountain. Schedule your off-site excursions for early morning to beat the cruise ship tour crowds.

Quick Facts: 680 rooms | 6 restaurants & 6 bars | 4 outdoor pools | Awe Spa | All-Ages

Baglioni Maldives Luxury All-Inclusive Villas

Situated on the island of Maagau, the resort offers beach villas set along palm-fringed sands and overwater villas with direct lagoon access and private plunge pools.

🎯 Planning & Strategy Tip: While beach villas accommodate families, travelers seeking complete quiet and direct reef swimming should book an Overwater Villa, which offers private sundecks and stair access into the turquoise lagoon.

Quick Facts: 85 private villas (beach & overwater) | 4 restaurants & 1 bar | House reef diving | All-Ages & Adults Enclaves
