This is a beautiful, all inclusive property with gorgeous views.

This 7 nights all-inclusive stay was the best trip ever!

The All Inclusive Live Aqua Beach Resort Cancun, absolutely fits into this category.

Hotel: Live Aqua Cancun: Ocean Front – Premium Room King Bed – all inclusive: 4.5 Stars!

The food is better than most all inclusive resorts and I have stayed at more than 20.

I would recommend several other all inclusive in the Cancun area,

Third night we went to MB which is their nicest of the all-inclusive restaurants.

Ala carte food was quit average for an all inclusive.

Live Aqua was an all inclusive and adult only resort.

The resort as a whole is everything you could want in an all inclusive resort.

There are too many all inclusive resorts that offer a higher quality across the board for any of these areas to be skimped on.

but this place does not feel like a typical all inclusive resort, more like a hotel with a very nice pool and beach.

The best food I've experienced at any all-inclusive
▪︎ Make the tipping culture clearer upon booking.

This hotel is the best all inclusive we have ever stayed in.

This resort also charges for normal amenities and is far from all inclusive.

This was an awesome and fun all-inclusive adult only resort.

This all-inclusive is awesome if you like low key grownup vibes.

One of the best all inclusive we have been to.

After we were shown the hotel & room I thought it was new construction instead of over four decades old.

-so remember how I had the con for the construction next store?

They put us in a room next directly next to a construction zone.

We were initially placed on the right side of the hotel near the construction of the new RIU hotel which was very noisy, so the hotel was flexible and put us on the other side with an ocean view, making our 6th anniversary truly special.

I requested to change the room due to a lot of noise from constructions.

While there was construction next door, I didn’t hear it once.

Construction site next door was a major eye sore.

Imagine our shock on entering our garden view room after checking in , the whole view from the balcony is a construction site , not the type of garden view I had in mind when I booked !!

Cons: resort is older and needs some updates/maintenance, not many daily activities at the resort, location is not very private (noisy construction next door).

A large hotel is under construction next door, creating an intermittent noise problem for the next few months.

The daily construction noise was terrible and continued til 1 and sometime 2 am in the morning.

I was ok with the room until the 1st morning when I woke up and there was a lot of construction going on next door.

Be aware that “premium garden view rooms” may well place you on one side of the hotel facing a new construction next door, while the other side puts you over the mechanical plant and it’s constant noise.

I would ask for a room where you can’t see the construction – if possible.

Our room was room 1264 and should be blocked off until the construction is done.

When we were there, there was quite a bit of remodeling happening and we’re looking forward to going back and seeing the updates!

We could have looked over a construction site next door and not had the night time noise, so the couple of evenings of musical noise were not a bad trade off!

Neither Monse or Alajandra(manager) at the front check in counter was able to find me a room that wasn't extremely loud due to construction or from huge air vents for the hotel.

There is a Starbucks coffee shop, Carlos already had our English Breakfast Tea ready as soon as we walked in and Xavier so happy to interact about Liverpool Football Club.

Great beach and pool area and there are plenty of chairs and umbrellas.

Jose at the pool keeps things flowing there.

The food was amazing and the pool and Beach area were spectacular.

Everyone was there to relax and enjoy the pool and sunshine.

The beach and pool area were beautiful, nice and clean as well as heated

Friendly staff like John (pool side) made us feel special!

Our favorite pool servers were Alexi & Miguel.

butt off every day making sure you have all the drinks and food you want in a fast timely manner at the pool.

They made all our dinner reservations,  helped me track down safety pins, long pants for my husband to wear to MB restaurant, a plastic bag to take home a bottle of Champagne, came and checked on us at the pool, arranged for our luggage to be picked up for checkout and on and on.

The weather was mostly cloudy and rainy so we didn't hang at the pools or beach much.

Best part was the beach and pool areas with daily activities and fun!

David took care of us by the pool and made sure our drinks were always plentiful.

Pros:
Beautiful beach with no seaweed

Variety of pools (they are pretty chilly if the outside temp is 75-82 F).

butler making dining reservations for us and the pool service being excellent.

From the staff in the restaurants, cabana staff & wait staff at the pool.

The pool staff is always so friendly and there to take care of your every need.

We got massages during our stay and it was personalized and the greatest massage I have ever gotten.

Rebecca in the lobby gives amazing hand massages and was very helpful with spa bookings.

I liked the beach area and the fact that on most days we could either sit on the breach loungers or book a cabana with its included foot massage.

We had facials and massages and used the hydrotherapy, sauna, and  vapor room each day we had a service.

It was relaxing, the spa services and attendants were some of the best that I have encountered with extensive traveling.

They helped us with check in, helped make spa and restaurant reservations and checked in consistently to make sure our stay was perfect.

The couples massage was one that made my husband fall in love with professional massages.

Alexandra, Hector, Flavio and Jonathan at the towel hut - thank you so much for always, without fail, setting us up in our cabana and scheduling my foot massages like clockwork.

Elena and Karina give the best foot massages ever!!!

Try the spa, they have excellent masseuses on staff.

If I'd known this, I would've budgeted it in to my trip

To conclude, this is a wonderful resort with many positives; the spa, amazing rooms, great choice of restaurants, immaculate grounds and near to the airport.

Morelia for helping ro arrange things before we arrived, Daniel and Guillermo in the Aqua lounge for their excellent service, Flavio and  his team (including Hector the protector) for ensuring our cabana experience was seamless,  Gabriel (Gabo) for making sure we stayed hydrated on the beach, Elena, Nancy and Mayeli for our wonderful foot massages, David our wonderful waiter at Sea Corner, our

We loved the daily foot massages and cabana as well as the included couples massage.

The hotel itself was great as well I appreciated the spa like feel and the crowd was great.

My wife and I did the couples massages and that was very relaxing.

It was cleaned daily and turned down at night with accompanying aromatherapy scents for our pillows.

His experience, care and hard work were very appreciated by everyone in our group.

Hotel Personnel who had a direct impact on our stay was the Ashley Garcia who should be revered for his dedication to leadership and hospitality.

Our experience was made even better by the service provided by our

Omar at Azur made the experience extra special for me and my wife.

The staff was incredible and went out of their way to make our experience so memorable.

They definitely made the experience better in spite of some of the deficiencies of the resort.

My boyfriend and I stayed at Live Aqua for 8 nights in Dec 2023 and it was a magical experience.

Among the most opulent experiences in Cancun, this place stands out.

Cesar at MB stood out the most with his warmth and willingness to make our final meal unlike anything we experienced.

Their goal is to truly make your experience super special.

We had an excellent experience at the carnivore restaurant, they gave us the service from the Italian place and it was amazing 
…………………………………………………………………………………………………….

House Keeping: Our housekeeping experiences were wonderful.

The drinks service on the beach was the best that I had ever experienced as they came round often which for me was good for my water, sprite, or a cheeky cocktail (or two – I do like a pina colada or Cosmopolitan).

but is pretty much all vendors/shops that we experienced and that's not a positive thing.

The scents of the hotel were one thing we weren’t expecting and found to be such a cool thing as well making the experience that much more elegant and memorable.

This fact in and of itself says a lot about the experience you will find here.

I do have to say I had a great experience with all of the servers/staff at that restaurant and went back for breakfast as well.

their Mexican restaurant is right by golf club, dinner requires reservation.

Many excellent dining choices, fabulous spas, and a challenging golf course.

Also the golf starter team consisting of Noe, Angel, Adrinal, and Luis as always treated us with respect and were always ready when we showed up to play golf.

I flagged a golf cart driver gave him $5 he helped me take the luggage up to my room.

there are little golf buggys that take you from the different areas which comes in handy for little legs.

Adani our golf instructor has a gift as an instructor.

Our kids had so much fun, the golf course is really nice as well.

The grounds are huge and they have golf carts constantly running to take you from one place to other .

My family and I booked the beginner lesson for the Moon Palace Golf Academy, and we were not disappointed.

I would skip "Gondola," which was totally average. The Indian restaurant "Agra" which did require a reservation was fine, as was the Italian restaurant at the golf course "Trattoria."

They do have golf carts that drive around and pick you up.

but I haven’t mentioned were mini golf, the spa, play on the beach, watch the shows.

Getting around the resort is easy with the golf cart transportation and just go to one of the stops and check out the map and see which letter route you need to catch and they will take you where you need to go.

The service by the service staff was superb - restaurants, poolside, housekeeping, golf cart drivers.

- Trattori (Sunrise / Golf Course) - what a lovely restaurant.

A great introduction to golf and the instructor was very helpful.

There are so many other restaurant ideas that would crush it at that golf course setting.

Thank you so much for looking after me!! Also, thanks to Limber and Jannete 😊

Food is hit or miss-mostly just ok. Tacos and ceviche at pool are delish.

We went in search of a comfortable place to relax and grab a bite to eat out by the pool.

The pool set up was very nice, and there were many food and bar options around it.

but the hotel management have sold far more rooms than they have capacity for in the restaurants, pools, communal areas, bars.

Overall, the resort is a great place for a family vacation with a fun pool, nice rooms, and good food.

The good points - the pools were fantastic, the food at the buffet was really good.

Pool side - as a test i gave the lady $5 to take care of everyone she never left us, everyone gave her more after she did a great job.

The pool on the other hand never had place to sit.

Things the kids enjoyed was flowrider, kayaking, beach soccer and the pools.

-we usually went by 7:30 am to get chairs by the pool.

The large pool area smells of sewage and there is garbage everywhere.

It could be at the same place (Bugambilias) as breakfast where they again had a great buffet, or it could be at one of the places by the pool.

They have a kids pool that my daughter loved so we hung out there mostly.

Big shout out to Damian the poolside waiter, Julian the smiley pool bartender, and Lucas at the lobby bar!!

We found plenty of sun beds were available at both pools throughout the day.

Also, at The Grand the Olympic and the Diamond Pool are great as well.

When we try to focus on the positive, the grounds, pools, and serving staff were great.

The front desk is difficult to deal with, especially if you lose your bracelet, fine print costs you a lot of money.

Check-in was chaotic and clerk required us to charge another credit card for the entire trip that was already paid for in March.

If you wanted to attend the new year's eve party, it was an additional fee, lol.

Used to be a five star…still cost of a five star

The hospital trip also cost over $800 which we had to pay as well.

Don’t come here unless you like abuse and pay $20K.

For the price we are paying, we could be staying at the Four Seasons.

but you would have to pay for something first.

Note of not staying at The Grand: you must pay extra for the water slides.

But I don't think the additional price is justified for service or food.

Everything is falling apart, we paid extra for a swim up suite which was worthless and a joke.

Considering that they don't get tipped and what they are probably being paid, the servers were amazing.

But I Would not stay there again for regular price.

At $600 USD a night, this is completely not worth it.

Paying 16% tax for a service/good that is marked up at least 84% higher than what you would pay in the US is like getting no real value.

The bunkers are full of rocks and the course itself is not in pristine shape that you would expect from a course that charges $300 a round.

but we were told that he could be seen by their doctor but any expense had to be covered by us.

We paid for Ocean view and that was not Ocean view.

but they do not compare to the service and attention to detail that all the employees pay to everything they do at Moon Palace.

No music or entertainment to ring in the new year there.

The App was a little bit helpful to find what entertainment there was,

The Momo Tepanyaki was delicious and the chef was massively entertaining.

The shows, activities like sailing, kayaking, biking, play room, Wired, etc.

The cook who was at our table was very funny and did a great show.

Montserrat cares about all the guests and gives so much energy and also helps out at the shows in The Grand Theatre.

The entertainment staff Isaac, Raymond and Kevin were amazing and made the days fun!!

Entertainment at night we thought was excellent- very talented acts.

I have been coming to  The Grand Moon Palace for 8 years now and Ernesto el Chef bailarín, just made my day with his dance moves and the delicious ice cream he serves,  You must look for him near the pool at Sunrise.

Waiter Dario and her supervisor Anna are the magic combo on the floor - they gave us VIP-level customer service every time we came to enjoy at the restaurant  and they made our 5-day experience memorable!!!

It was a joy to relax and let the wonderful pool attendants; Marvin,  Amalia, and Amairani, bring you any beverage and food selection with a friendly and attentive “how are you doing?”

The children especially liked the elderly ice cream caballero with the hat and funny dancing.

Their entertainment team is amazing and always something going on.

The entertainment staff at the Sunrise (Jesus and Mitch) were very engaging and went out of their way to make things fun.

The entertainment staff sexy Issac, Doris, Sahara and Kevin made my family’s stay so fun!

Perhaps because most of the high-end dining experiences are there, as are the elaborate kids’ waterpark and a dance club for the late nighters.

Circus – The manager gave us a tour of the facility. 12.

Was quite disgusting to think that this would be acceptable to them.

The food was absolutely disgusting you couldn’t get in the Al La carte restaurants as they was all booked up.

Beach was full of seaweed and smelly -  water looked u healthy to swim in.

Stayed 5 nights, on night 3 I started noticing a urine smell from our mattress, stripped the bed and found our mattress was covered with urine.

Also, the beach is completely brown and unswimmable, and smells like sewage.

Steps have been taken to keep the majority of it several hundred yards offshore, so the stench does not permeate the atmosphere throughout the resort.

The food is disgusting, and think twice if youre going to have a wedding here because the way they treat guest is horrible and they dont care.

The room had a strange smell, insects, and technical issues with the app.

While on the property, the golf carts and lobby-to-lobby buses meant we never had to break a sweat.

although there was some seaweed in the adjoining beach, crew was constantly cleaning it out (no smell of seaweed).

Maintenance was noticeably lacking, door to room did not close properly, curtain pull broken, drain in hot tub broken, sink drain almost fully blocked so water would not drain.

If anyone use to or expect 5 star experience like international hotel brands (Marriott group, Hilton’s or Jumeirah) don’t expect anything like that here… Property old and tired and staff are undertrained to offer remotely comparable service..

Will NEVER return to this hotel even if it were free..

We checked out of the hotel and stayed in the Grand afterwards… hotel was much newer and didn’t have the same smell issues

but blimey u would think a hotel like this will entertain the guest indoors, instead they had some women screaming some nasty boring songs.

The food servers were handling food without gloves and that’s very disgusting   This place is falling apart, the employees here are way too pushy to sell something

but the sea water is disgusting with discolored water and the seaweed problem.

The bed linen particularly the pillow cases smelled like urine.

Booking appointments for spa with Jorge took over a month.

I would highly recommend her and the spa.

There was no ventilation in this dining room, we all felt like we were in a sauna.

My favourite was Lorena from the Spa at Sunrise.

A trip to Moon Palace cannot be complete with a visit to The Grand AWE Spa.

The fine print is there is a 16% tax out of pocket payment associated with these credits and there are limits on what you can use it on (golf, spa, upgrades, etc).

The spa at The Grand is also one of the highlights of Moon Palace.

A good time was had at the Unique Day Spa on several occasions and a highlight being the Library Bar which has awesome drinks.

I had many massages in my life and she obviously very experienced.

Pools, spa, excercise and bars were top notch.

Next to impossible to contact diamond transportation following a spa treatment at the Grand to return to our room at the NIZUC.

The spa at Grand and the golf course is a one-of-a-kind experience.

Had two deep tissue massages from Selena.

We spent time at the pools, and we frequented the Spa.

Claudia at Awe Spa was amazing at scheduling our whole family for facials and massages.

He scheduled all of our spa and dinners perfectly and worked closely with our

Consider going to the Liverpool Mall, its much cheaper, well stocked and where the locals shop.

Chicken tenders and loaded skins very tasty.Severano looks after you and even managed to get the Liverpool match on in English for us.

Ismerai was our waitress at the travel club pool and she really went to above and beyond to make our trip special.
