🌴 Hey friends! It’s Harper, and if you’re planning a family vacation to Cancun, I’ve found the ultimate kid-approved resort—Grand Moon Palace Cancun! 🎮🛁🍓

This place is like a cruise ship on land—but better. I’ve stayed at a lot of resorts (humble brag 🤭), and this one has officially made my top five family resorts of all time. So buckle up, because I’m taking you behind the scenes of this all-inclusive wonderland for kids, teens, and parents who just want everyone to be happy.

🎡 Why Grand Moon Palace Cancun Is a Kid’s Dream Resort

Let’s start with the obvious: this resort is massive. Like, “you might need a map or a golf cart to get around” kind of massive. But that just means there’s so much to do. Whether you’re a waterslide fan, arcade junkie, or food lover like me (shoutout to all the traveling foodies 🍕), Grand Moon Palace has something for every type of kid.

🚀 Next-Level Kids Club

Forget coloring books and nap mats—this kids’ club is on another level. Here’s what you can expect:

Waterslides that twist, turn, and splash
A video game lounge with PlayStations, Xboxes, and even VR headsets
Mini-golf that’s actually super fun (and competitive if you’re traveling with siblings!)
Indoor bumper cars—yes, actual bumper cars at a resort. I may or may not have gone back twice. Okay, three times.
A snack bar with pizza, soft-serve, popcorn, and (drumroll) unlimited virgin strawberry daiquiris 🍓

And the best part? It’s all included. No begging parents for tokens or snacks. Just flash your wristband and boom—you’re living your best life.

🍕 All-Inclusive That’s Actually Yum

Let’s be real: “all-inclusive” food can be hit or miss. But at Grand Moon Palace Cancun, the food is actually so good. I’m talking:

Buffets with make-your-own taco bars
Restaurants just for kids (hellooo sliders, fries, and mini desserts)
Gourmet options for parents, including sushi, steak, and Italian

And don’t forget dessert. There’s an ice cream shop on site, and the churros were so good I dream about them.

Pro tip: If you spot the bakery near the lobby, grab a pastry in the morning before it gets too crowded. They’re made fresh daily and worth the line.

🛁 Room Goals: Giant Jacuzzi Tubs and Smart TVs

The rooms at Grand Moon Palace Cancun are straight-up fancy. Think huge beds, marble floors, mood lighting, and a jacuzzi tub right in the room. Like, not even in the bathroom—right there in the middle, just waiting to be filled with bubbles.

You can literally jump in the tub, dry off, throw on a robe, and watch movies on a giant flat-screen TV. Plus, the fridge gets stocked daily with drinks and snacks (mini Sprite, I love you).

If you’re traveling with siblings or friends, there are family suites available that connect multiple rooms—so everyone gets space without being too far apart.

🏖️ The Beach: Pretty… But Not the Star

Okay, I promised you honesty, so here’s the tea: the beach at Grand Moon Palace isn’t the best in Cancun. The water can get murky because of the seaweed, and the sand is a little rocky. BUT—and this is a big “but”—you won’t even care. There’s so much to do inside the resort that the beach ends up being just a backdrop.

You’ve got:

Huge pools with water games
Poolside DJs
Swim-up snack bars
Giant floaties for chillin’

And yes, pool service means you can get a mocktail delivered without leaving your lounger. Iconic.

🛺 Getting Around: Golf Carts + Stroller Life

This resort is BIG. Like, “10,000 steps before lunch” kind of big. So if you’ve got little siblings (or just short legs like me), you’re going to want:

A stroller for toddlers
Comfy walking shoes
Resort golf cart rides (just ask and they’ll give you a lift!)

There’s also a free shuttle between the main Moon Palace and Grand Moon Palace, so you can check out other restaurants and amenities nearby if you’re feeling extra adventurous.

🎉 Activities, Shows & Night Fun

Grand Moon Palace Cancun has nightly entertainment for families—including:

Live music and acrobat shows
Outdoor movie nights under the stars
Glow-in-the-dark dance parties
Magic shows that had even my dad asking, “How’d they do that?”

And don’t forget the teens-only zone, which includes:

Ping pong tournaments
Karaoke
Foosball
Hangout lounges with zero parents allowed

✨ Harper’s Travel Tips for Grand Moon Palace Cancun

💡 Pack water shoes. Great for the beach and pool, especially if you’re sensitive to rocky sand.

💡 Book dinner reservations early. Some restaurants fill up fast, so have your family plan your top picks on day one.

💡 Bring a waterproof phone case. Between the pool, splash pad, and daiquiri spills, you’ll thank me later.

💡 Plan a chill day. There’s so much to do that you might get FOMO. Schedule a slow morning for sleeping in or just soaking in the hot tub.

💖 Final Thoughts from Me, Harper

If you’re looking for a family-friendly resort that goes way beyond the basics, Grand Moon Palace Cancun is a total winner. It’s fun, colorful, packed with activities, and it actually feels like it was designed with kids and teens in mind—not just their parents.

So, whether you’re traveling with toddlers, tweens, teens, or all of the above, this place is a vacation jackpot. Just make sure you leave room in your suitcase… because once you’re here, you’ll want to bring it all home.

Catch you on the next adventure!
