    The food was amazing but there's a LOT of Seafood - luckily its Buffet so there was always at least one hot Meat choice, often more than that - and loads of lovely salads and pickles - i think up to a week she would be fine - after that it could prove a bit repetitive if not a seafood lover. There are a la carte restaurants but these are extra from memory

    If you get a price off their website for the trip you want i will beat it by at least 5%

    Hope that helps

    Wendy the Jolly Beach dont list a "Superior Family Room" among their room types - is it just a standard room and a Superior room?

    Hi,
    We are looking at going to the Moon Palace Golf and Spa resort in Cancun over the easter holiday 2017. Tied to school hols but would do a day or two out school before or after. The kids are off for 2 weeks from 10th April. 2 adults, 14 year old and 11 year old.
    Best I have found is flights with Thomas Cook and booking hotel and transfer separately. Cost £5115 for hotel and £2300 (just over) for flights - total £7400 ish. This is the family connections Lux suite. Departs 6th April -17th from LGW. Midlands departure would be easier for us, but will go to Gatwick if need be. Can you beat this? Many thanks :)
