Incentive Meetings Palace Resorts True luxury defined
AT A GLANCE Properties • Seven all-inclusive resorts throughout Mexico, including Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort, Beach Palace, Sun Palace, Le Blanc Spa Resort, Cozumel Palace, Isla Mujeres Palace, and Playacar Palace
Palace perfect By next month, Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort will have completed upgrades to 400 of its guest rooms, while ballroom spaces — six in total, ranging from 1,500 to 56,000 square feet — will be refreshed as well.
Sleek, simple, and chic — Palace Resorts epitomizes true luxury with its five-star prop- erties and easy all-inclusive packages. Each of its seven Mexican resorts epitomize the ideal incentive meeting venue for the same reasons: The planning is done, the price is set
— even if there are last-minute changes — and planners can focus on rewarding attendees with an unforgettable incentive experience (and maybe even relax a bit!). Palace Resorts’ seven properties, scat-
tered throughout Mexico’s most beautiful destinations, range from the intimate, AAA Five-Diamond Le Blanc Spa Resort, ideal for groups of up to 300, to the expansive, 2,446- room Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort, which

offers 120,000 square feet of total meeting space for groups of up to 7,500. The collec- tion’s largest resort, Moon Palace, is currently undergoing a multimillion-dollar renovation debuting later this year. Ten miles from Cancun International Air-
port, Moon Palace is a destination in itself. Groups with a penchant for recreation will love the options — one of only two Jack Nick- laus Signature golf courses in Cancun, seven pools with six swim-up bars, six tennis courts, a spa with 39 treatment rooms, and dozens of on-site activities from rock climbing to yoga. After the renovation is complete in Novem- ber, Moon Palace will be the first resort in Mexico to offer the FlowRider Double, a wave
simulator that guests can surf on. Both of Moon Palace’s fitness centers will also feature new state-of-the-art equipment with virtual trainers.
Momonohana, one of Moon Palace’s 13
on-site restaurants, will undergo an expan- sion as well. The restaurant will be large enough to accommodate groups of 350, and Teppanyaki tables — interactive cooking sta- tions perfect for entertaining groups — will be added. Francois Frossard, who has designed some of Miami’s most popular nightclubs, including Mansion and Prive, will reimagine two of the resort’s current lounges — Lobby Bar and Sky Bar — as well as design the latest addition, Nightclub.
