Cancun’s Hotel Zone is famous for its fierce, nonstop competition. Resorts are constantly battling to offer the best amenities, the newest pools, and the most luxurious rooms to attract travelers.
Most resorts just slap on a fresh coat of paint during the slow season and call it a day. However, one specific family-friendly powerhouse realized that staying at the top requires a much bolder move. They made the massive decision to completely shut their doors to the public for an entire year to rebuild from the ground up.

Travelers and loyal guests have been waiting patiently since last August to see exactly what has been happening behind those construction walls. Fortunately, the wait is finally over. A beloved property that has long been a staple of the Cancun strip is officially coming back online on August 1. It is already accepting reservations right now, and the sweeping changes are about to completely shift the landscape for families heading down for a beachfront vacation.
The Grand Return Of Beach Palace
The highly anticipated resort stepping back into the spotlight is the Beach Palace Family Resort & Spa. As the flagship family property for The Palace Company, the ownership group clearly did not want to hold anything back.

They poured a staggering sixty million dollars into a comprehensive, top-to-bottom renovation project. This massive financial commitment originally forced the temporary closure of the resort back on August 15 of last year.
Now, after nearly twelve solid months of heavy construction, gutting, and interior upgrades, the property is entering a brand new chapter. The transformation touches every single corner of the resort. Returning guests will truly feel like they are stepping into an entirely new building. Every single guest room on the property has been fully gutted and renovated to meet modern luxury standards.
This introduces a much higher level of comfort for families who want a premium experience right on the beach without feeling cramped.

A Completely Transformed Arrival Experience
First impressions matter immensely when you are checking into a luxury all-inclusive. The design team behind this renovation clearly understood the assignment.
The main building features a newly reimagined lobby designed to offer a much more welcoming and streamlined arrival experience. You will not find yourself standing in a chaotic line in a tired, outdated lobby after a long flight.
Instead, you are now greeted by a high-end boulangerie. This means you can grab fresh, warm pastries and premium coffee the absolute second you walk through the front doors.

The main floor also introduces a brand new buffet restaurant featuring a massive covered terrace. You can finally eat outdoors and enjoy the ocean breeze without melting in the harsh midday sun.
Fan-favorite dining spots like Tavola and Tacos have been completely refreshed with modern designs and updated, mouth-watering menus.
You will also find an upgraded Memories photo space and modernized retail shops for picking up vacation essentials. There is also a heavily revamped Palace Elite lounge exclusively for members looking for a private, upgraded check-in experience.
Next-Level Entertainment For Families
A family resort is truly only as good as its pool deck, and Beach Palace made sure to deliver on the hype. The main pool area has been completely overhauled. It now includes a revamped water park that is guaranteed to keep kids busy for hours on end. The new aquatic setup features a significantly larger main waterslide. It sits alongside two brand new, fast-paced flumes designed specifically to amplify the fun for the younger crowds.
When you are finally ready to head out of the blazing sun, the entertainment continues indoors up on the mezzanine level. This newly designed floor is home to the popular Wired lounge.
You will also find a dedicated Playroom packed to the brim with activities for younger kids. For the older crowd and the parents, there is a sleek, highly modern Sports Bar.

In a massive structural upgrade, this new sports bar is now physically connected to the resort’s main event facilities. They achieved this by building an elegant elevated bridge, making it incredibly easy to navigate between entertainment zones without ever getting lost.
World-Class Dining And Wellness Upgrades
Dining is always a massive part of the all-inclusive vacation experience. A sixty million dollar budget allowed for some serious culinary additions across the entire property. Up on the mezzanine level alongside the entertainment venues, guests will now find the brand new MOMO restaurant. This level also houses the highly exclusive Diamond Lounge. Down on the ground floor of the adjacent event building, the resort has introduced the Carvao restaurant for premium dining. It sits alongside a massive, state-of-the-art theater designed specifically to host high-quality evening shows and live entertainment.
If you need a serious break from the nonstop action, the entire second floor of the event building is calling your name. It is now dedicated purely to wellness and total relaxation. Guests have full access to an upgraded spa featuring extensive hydrotherapy areas. There is also a high-end beauty salon and a fully equipped, modern gym so you can easily keep up with your daily fitness routine while on the road.

An Exclusive Adults-Only Rooftop Oasis
While the resort is heavily focused on family entertainment, they certainly did not forget about the parents who need a quiet escape. The entire third-floor rooftop has been brilliantly designed to be an exclusive, adults-only sanctuary. This is exactly where you go when you need a break from the chaos.
This massive elevated space features two brand new swimming pools and a dedicated snack bar. It is also home to the stunning Madre Mía rooftop bar.
Because it sits high above the main property, the rooftop offers completely unobstructed, breathtaking panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea.
It is the absolute perfect spot to escape the noise of the waterslides. You can grab a premium cocktail and watch the sunset over the water without having to worry about kids running around the pool deck.
Resort Upgrades
Booking Your August Getaway
Beach Palace is officially accepting reservations right now for stays starting on August 1. After being completely closed to the public for a full calendar year, demand is already looking incredibly high for the remainder of the summer season.
The massive price tag on this renovation means you are essentially walking into a brand new luxury resort. However, you still get the established reputation and the highly coveted Hotel Zone location that made the property famous in the first place.
If you are looking for an upscale, easy-to-navigate family trip this August, you need to act fast. This newly reopened property needs to be at the very top of your list before rooms sell out entirely.
