Moon Palace Casino Spa & Golf Resort,
Punta Cana Reviews
Updated picture of Moon Palace, Summer 2008
UPDATE:
January 16, 2009
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Moon Palace Casino, Golf & Spa Resort in Punta Cana is experiencing delays with the opening of some of its facilities. The resort is slated to be running at full service by Summer 2009 and between now and then amenities and facilities will continue to open as time progresses.
New guests wishing to visit the resort during this soft-opening stage (now through May 31, 2009) will receive a twenty percent savings while staying in one of the completed rooms featuring double Jacuzzis and balconies. Guests will also have full access to the completed amenities including six outdoor pools facing the ocean, a sunbathing area, as well as five bars and restaurants (out of the 24 total restaurants and bars that will be open when the resort is complete), as well as 24 hour room service.
Due to the inconvenience of the casino and golf facilities still being under construction, Palace Resorts will provide complimentary transportation to nearby Tower Casino and Rokoki Golf course. In addition the resort is offering complimentary manicures, as well as beachside back and leg massages until Feb 28th.
Thank you for your continued loyalty to Palace Resorts. We look forward to providing you with a wonderful stay in the future.
