A 27-hole Jack Nicklaus signature golf course is available for a memorable round of golf. Rooms are very elegant, in fact, all have double Jacuzzi baths!

We had fantastic food all week. We stayed at Nizuc which is quieter which we like. But you can freely go back and forth btw sunrise and Nizuc. Sunrise has a few more restaurants and is more action. David martinez took care of us at the guest services. He went above and beyond to make our week so relaxing and fun. Thank you David.

Bad vibes. Over-priced. Food over-hyped. Annoying time share sales pitch. Shady tactics. Room service beyond horrible. Brazilian steakhouse is a joke. Three kinds of meats all tasted super cheap and tough. There is no hot water. Only giant tubs that you can fill with almost lukewarm water. Pools close very early. Seaweed all over the beach.… قراءة المزيد

You can eat a lot of food but none of it is spectacular. Not a luxury resort. Spaced out dissociated staff giving you the evil eye. Read less

We checked in 3 hours ago. Bracelets would not open the room when we arrived. Had to return to the lobby. Still no luggage at our room. Not the excellent service we have come to expect from Palace Resorts. We have been members for over 15 years. Looking forward to proving feedback to the sales team on our presentation.

Nice hotel and staff very good. Be careful of the sales people, especially when checked out. They sell you certificates for another stay under false information.

Nice hotel and staff very good. Be careful of the sales people, especially when checked out. They sell you certificates for another stay under false information. We were sold some for what we were told for years 2025 and 2026 on the 1st January 2025. When we received they were for 2024 and 2025. Also you have to pay full price up front and we are a party of 11 so cost would be $56000 up front. Salesperson doesn’t tell you this. Very disappointed with this and customer services have no interest in helping out so have to just take loss on certificates Will not use this brand for holidays again Read less
