After four days at the beautiful La Amada in Puerto Morelos we came here looking for more activities for our family as described in the reviews and website. We spilt our trip according to this. First part relaxation and second part fun and active. Well,what we got was BLAH! And, the guest services personel, Isreal(sp?) responded to my comment of, "I'm bored to death" with, "It's the slow season and most ladies would be happy with this". There literally is nothing to do here! NOTHING! He suggested we pay for a cab and go to Cancun Palace so the kids could play at the kids club since there was NO ONE working the very pitiful one here. We did for the kids sake (1yr & 12 yr.old girls) and they had a great time. Too bad all the reviews before I chose this resort were so favorable I would have stayed at La Amada or booked another Palace resort. He also suggested going to Moon Palace. As for this place..I'm extremely disappointed. I mean, even the food is nothing to write home about. We've been eating nothing but carbs since that seems to be the most appetizing things available. The Italian restaurant had pretty good desserts but the main courses were pretty bad. The lamb was bloody, the arriabata was so spicey it was almost unedible, and chicken carbonara tasted like it was microwaved. Did a foot and leg massage too and that was not worth it either but I'm pretty picky being a therapist myself. I think the guy had a long day and had too many other things on his mind. Was too vigorous,not relaxing at all and pretty mediocre. Then they make you fill out a comment card with your name and room number on it. How many honest responses do you think they'll get? The "romantic" couples massage was nearly $800!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At La Amada for the same thing on the beach for us was only $90 each. Give me a break!! There was NO spot in that hotel that would ever justify paying that much. The spa tour we took was nothing to brag about. Now the staff was pretty great. There are NO complaints there..besides Mr. Isreal(sp?). His attitude was pretty crappy. Didn't go out of his way to make us feel special or accomodate our simple requests. Just made us feel ungrateful and hard to please. I mean, we just wanted to SOMETHING without having to go leave the resort or spend MORE money. He suggested going to La Isa to watch a movie, go bowling at another place....I mean, come on! Again, the entire staff we dealt with directly was very friendly and seemed pretty eager help us out. I'm sure they were bored because there were no more then 5 couples we saw the whole time we were there. Also, as other said before, there is a beach but water is rough. Not for small children unless they are running away from the waves and after noon or so the whole outside pool, beach, and activity areas are shaded. That is a HUGE bummer because it appears that it's imclement weather then and not and sunny out. A real shame! We won't be coming back here again...nor any other Palace resort based on our less then adequate experience here at Beach Palace. It was actually worse then Crown Paradise. Never thought that was possible. Take me back to La Amada!!
