What You Need to Know
The Look of Moon Palace Jamaica
It’s hard to miss Moon Palace Jamaica due to its sheer size: The property spans several buildings, including high-rise towers, along a secluded stretch of sand. Here, common spaces are bright and airy, like the white lobby complete with sky-high ceilings and a glass wall overlooking the ocean. The colorful bar area adds a fun touch, while lush greenery and treehouse-inspired lamp posts help bring the outdoors in. Rooms and suites feature an equally calming aesthetic with pops of blues and greens reminiscent of the ocean. While all units offer double whirlpool tubs and plenty of natural light, it’s worth springing on one with a private balcony to soak up the views from the comfort of your room.
The Vibe at Moon Palace Jamaica

Parents looking for some R&R can send their little ones to the kids’ club while they head to the spa or sip cocktails poolside.
While the five restaurants and six bars can get crowded, the property also offers several grab-and-go options for guests looking to waste no time in the sun, including a coffee and dessert shop, a traditional snack bar, and a Jerk hut for flavorful Jamaican jerk chicken.
