Keep coming back.

This coming week will be our 4th trip to Moon Palace. I've also stayed at the Placar Palace in Playa Del Carmen. Having been down here a few times, I've been to a few "selling sessions" at various Time Shares and have talked with folks who have different packages.
Having said that, we keep coming back to the Moon Palace (I don't play golf) because:
1) With our teenage daughters, they can wander all over the place and not get in trouble. AND, they can't easily wander off to town themselves.
2) There is nothing to think about. Eat, Sleep, do whatever you want, when you want.
3) Rooms are always nice. When with the girls we get a Presidential Suite which has a living room along with the 2 other rooms. VERY nice.
4) Food. I for one really like it. If you are looking for the same food you have at home all the time you won't get it (well some you will), this is a chance to try a few different things. No, I can't get Escargot in the evening and I find the seafood sauce "different". But it is nice to have eggs, beans, some nice green chili sauce or a smoothie for breakfast.
5) Included excursions are great. We've been to most of them one time or another. But as we've been there a few times, we now use the provided transportation and do our own thing. Sometimes use a taxi, sometimes not.
6) Staff are FANTASTIC, always a kind word.
7) Yes, Beach is better at say Playacar Palace but the pools at Moon are really nice.
8) Restaurant Choice. This is part of what keeps us coming back. LOTs of restaurants, lots of choices and I've found some really great meals trying things I haven't tried before.
9) If you like alcohol, well there is a lot of that. I tend to stick to a margheritta now and then. Oh and Xtabintun :).
Overall a wonderful resort which I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone at anytime.
