Palace Resorts

Palace Resorts is the result of the vision of various investors who in the mid-80s saw the potential of real estate operations in Mexico’s Cancun area. Established at the end of 1984 it inaugurated its first resort, the Beach Palace,in 1985. The hotel was a novelty, not only because it offered luxurious, comfortable rooms in an unbeatable location, with views of Cancun’s breathtaking beaches, but because it was a pioneer in the all inclusive concept: accommodations, dining, and gratuities all included in one rate.

Following the footsteps of Beach Palace, came the Cancun Palace in 1988 and the Sun Palace in 1992 all stretching along the well known Cancun hotel zone. After the success of these properties, Palace Resorts built the Moon Palace (Nizuc Section) in 1996 and the Moon Palace (Sunrise Section) in 1998 which would later become the Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort. All resorts with a different personality but with the same philosophy –offer guests the ultimate all inclusive experience.

The year 2001 was an innovative one for the company. It expanded its horizon to the Riviera Maya, in Mexico’s west coast, by opening the Aventura Spa Palace. In 2005 Palace Resorts opened the Cozumel Palace, Playacar Palace and Vallarta Palace thus covering Mexico’s most beautiful beaches.

In order to satisfy the demand of the growing upscale market in Cancun, Palace Resorts opened the adults only Le Blanc Spa Resort.

The expansion continued in the year 2007 with the Isla Mujeres Palace a boutique resort in this legendary island off Cancun’s shore. As the number of travelers increase, plans are already in execution to develop a new section at Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort. It is estimated that the Grand Section of this resort will add 1,157 rooms to this popular destination.


The company continues pursuing new projects in the Caribbean, looking for the best beaches of the region to bring a new Palace Resort closer to its loyal clientele. Punta Cana, in the Dominican Republic, is Palace Resorts’ new resort destination with another all-inclusive property, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana with more than 1,700 guestrooms.
