Our take

Moon Palace Nizuc works best for families and couples who want an activity-rich all-inclusive resort without relying on the Hotel Zone. The brand confirms 24-hour room service, included dining and drinks, a kids' Playroom, Wired Lounge for teens and adults, FlowRider and sports facilities. Dining expands across Nizuc and Sunrise restaurants. Its main drawback is the secluded location. Nizuc should not be confused with The Grand: the water park and bowling alley belong to that section and should not be assumed to be included.
