My family & I just returned from a week at the Mayan Palace, where we are members but we went through RCI. This is our second time there and my 2 kids (5 & 8 yrs old) loved it. They loved the clean pool and the attention they get from the activity staff. We were given a master room in... more

My husband and I drove down to the Mayan Palace in Puerto Penasco, Mexico just after school was out and he was off for the summer.

We just returned from our 3rd visit to the Mayan Palace which we booked through Trading Places, a timeshare exchange. We've used RCI in the past. This time they put us in the newest tower on the 7th floor. The unit was a gorgeous two bedroom, two bath with a lovely view of the lagoon; and from the balcony, the... more

We just returned from the Mayan Palace in Puerto Penasco and had a nice time. The resort is very clean, staff kind and helpful, pool a true jewel and the beach fun to walk. The food at the pool restaurant is excellent and not too expensive. We mostly ate lunch there and enjoyed it. Also fun were the 2 for... more
