Most of the time all you need is a nap to feel rejuvenated. Sometimes you need a real escape. A week-long break from work, school, family, or whatever is zapping all of your energy. This year we finally got around to planning a vacay in Mexico. This would mark our first time in Mexico so, we didn’t want just any hotel. When we were in search of an all-inclusive slice of paradise, Palace Resorts instantly came to mind. The Palace Resorts group is a popular chain of resorts with properties in Jamaica and Mexico. After a very busy Summer, we were in need of some real rest and relaxation. After an exhaustive search through reviews, we thought The Grand at Moon Palace Cancun would be the perfect fit.
