Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Sunny Days El Palacio Resort & Spa is a popular choice, especially given its great value for money. Guests often highlight the spacious and clean rooms, some boasting stunning sea views. The hotel features a well-constructed lagoon, with deeper areas and safety nets, alongside a shallower, crystal-clear open sea area ideal for snorkeling; a private beach is also appreciated. Some guests have mentioned that the buffet food could be better. Guests also enjoyed access to multiple restaurants and bars and could visit souvenir shops and pharmacies just outside the hotel.

overall a decent experience

interconnected hotelswater parksbathroom conditionbroken shower

the hotel features a system of three interconnected hotels. this allows guests to access amenities across all locations, including dining and water parks. i found the fish dishes to be particularly tasty.

The rooms could use some work. the bathroom looked quite run down, and i found the bathtub unpleasant. i also had some issues with the shower head, it was broken.
