Not everyone has the good fortune of living right on the beach, so instead of making the trek with the kids every weekend, just head for your home away from home at Villa del Palmar Cancun Luxury Beach Resort & Spa in Mexico. Cancun has never been more family-friendly than it is at this resort, removed from the Hotel Zone's rowdy parties. Fun activities and relaxing amenities are just a few reasons why families pick this elegant all inclusive resort.

Very friendly nice and neat!! Would definitely go back!
The biggest issue I had with this resort was that we were placed on the ground floor in the path of all their workers to enter the main building as their doors are paper thin so you hear EVERYTHING in the hallway. They have signs posted to be quiet after a certain time and that is surely not enforced by the people staying there nor do their staff do the same as that's all I heard late at night and at 5 am which I know where the staff. Security has nothing better to do that bother you 3 days after staying about leaving clothing on the balcony to dry as they're "worried the wind will blow it away" so when I told them that was my problem, they still wanted it removed meanwhile numerous other rooms had their stuff out for days and that was ok b/c I guess they had better rooms which they were fine with them doing that but not us? We paid for the all-inclusive package and even though everything is free, you still had to wait and sign for anything you got which was very annoying and not done at another hotel we stayed at and as much as it sounds petty, I don't feel I need to stand there for another 5mins after getting my drink to sign a receipt when my wristband shows I don't pay. With the location of this resort, you're a good 1hr+ away from Xcaret and the other tourist parks.
fyi - stay away from the poachers at the airport when you land as they will talk you into special deals for the parks and attractions but what you don't know is that they're sold to you by other hotels to try to get you in the door for a sales pitch
We just got back from our first visit to Cancun and the Villa del Palmar is now in the top three of our vacation spots.
The resort and staff are beyond exceptional. We could not have chosen a better location.
This resort is a must visit!!
This is a beautiful resort. The food was phenomenal and the staff were all amazing. Everyone from the lawn guys to the service staff. The only thing that I wish they had was a swim up bar and a really good bar up by the pool to sit and look at the ocean. There is one with swings on the beach but need to use the one by the pool close to the beach. Also was weird to always sign for everything at an all inclusive. Need a bar open earlier in the lobby. When you arrive at 11:00 or if it’s raining there isn’t many options (rained 4 of 7 days on us. No real night life which was ok for us but if you want nightly dancing this isn’t the place. But overall we loved it.

There are not jet skies at the resort to rent. Due to the rocks they can't get there.
slick1532
They told us when we booked that Jet Skis were available, but when we got there they did not have them. They do have Kayaks but they were not allowing those to go out because the water was to ruff. They really do not offer many beach activities.
Janna13
At check-in they told us that they could drive us to a better place to rent waverunners that was about 20 minutes away. But we ended up going right to the guys on the beach at the hotel and it was only $50/hour. They were awesome.

Bellie
no. it's a 45-60min drive.
iceprincess
The resort is not in downtown Cancun and hotel zone, however, one of the features in the All Inclusive is shuttle service there.
MariaCC
way north of the hotel zone....very secluded.
KatieFriz
It is well north of the hotel zone and East of downtown Cancun. A bit remote but well worth it (meaning everything is at least a cab ride away).
Lotsoftravel
It is actually a little NORTH of Cancun. There are no other hotels close really close to it.
RockyD
It's actually north of the hotel zone by about 20 minutes. It's LOVELY (in my opinion) because there's nothing nearby. Awesome if you just want to lounge around and read as I did, but a hassle for people who want to spend time in downtown Cancun.
saraswati
The hotel is in an area that is just being developed, north of the city of Cancun. Not a lot of other hotels around so the beach is almost private up and down from the hotel.

What do you suggest for transportation from the airport? Cost?5 answers
6 years, 82 months ago
Wayne
CheapCaribbean.com does offer round-trip airport transfers as an option to add to your vacation package. You may do so when initially booking your trip, or you may add them on up until 72 hours prior to your departure date. As of right now, the transfers are pricing at around $40.00 per person round-trip, however that pricing is subject to change until the transfers are booked.
KristinCC
we used Olympus tours. maybe 15 per person.
DrGreg
For this hotel, we chose the private transportation since it was much further north than the other hotels. It was perfect.
KatieFriz
We booked our transportation through Cheap Caribbean - it was convenient and inexpensive.
RFHood
We used Olympus Tours and it was about 70$ (USD) for both of us. The resort is pretty far out and away from the hotel zone, so you dont want to take the chance on a taxi driver that may try to drive you around to up the fare. Play it safe and book the Olympus tours airport transportation
Ten40
I booked the transportation here on Cheap Caribbean. The van was right outside the airport and drivers were easy to spot. Took only a few mins to load up the bags and off we went. They scheduled the ride back to the airport as well. It was well worth the price.

If you currently have a reservation booked with CheapCaribbean you may contact us at 1.800.915.2322 to upgrade your room. You may also speak with the resort directly upon arrival. If you do not have a reservation you may upgrade your room at the time you are making the reservaiton.

We were upgraded for free from a studio to a 1 bedroom when we first arrived. Mention that this is your first time staying with them and I imagine they would do the same if the room is available.

Are taxes and gratuities included in this vacation package?7 answers

All taxes and gratuities are included in the All inclusive package at the Villa Del Palmar Cancun. Should you purchase the hotel without the all inclusive package Cheap Caribbean's prices included all taxes, however the grauities for the restaurants are not included.
MeganCC
yes, but we tipped more and got even faster/better service. The wait staff by the pool get very motivated by all inclusive guests tipping. This is true anywhere
DrGreg
Taxes, gratuities and tips ARE included with the All-inclusive package
emmyt
Yes, but it's always nice to carry a few extra dollar bills to reward good/great service with a smile and you will definitely get it here!
Zimthis88
Taxes are included. However the package states that gratuities are included, after talking to several employees at the resort, I discovered that is true in part but they only receive a percentage of the package as a group. This mean that they receive few dollars since is divided among all the staff My advice is to tip whomever serves you if you feel their service is good. We felt that their service was top notch!
JCBORL
Yes, everything is included!! You can leave an additional tip if you wish as a 'extended thank you' but you never feel pressured to leave anything extra
Ten40
Yes they are, however if you want to tip someone for extra good service you are allowed to do so.

MariaCC
We had everything included except premium liqueur such as Crown etc. All other drinks, all food, never tried room service. There is Zama which is kinda fancy Mexican, Divinos which is Mediterranean ( we really liked it) and a steak place that requires closed toed shoes (heads up). There is also the pool eateries that do nachos, tacos, burgers etc all included. Its a good level for all inclusive. We ate well and always had nice exotic deserts. Really no buffet except breakfast.
DrGreg
5 awesome restaurants, and a snack bar, plus 24-hour room service is included, (and several bars!). But this hotel is located way north of the hotel zone so you will need to travel some distance to find other restaurants, but we never felt like we had to leave to find great food. Very "up scale" cuisine, and the basics.....a little bit of everything.
Sushi, Steak, Italian, Greek, Mexican & American restaurants.
KatieFriz
They offer different All-Inclusive pkgs, i.e. some pkgs do not include all 4 restaurants and some pkgs don't include room service. The All-Inclusive pkg I got when I booked with CheapCarribean.com included everything from all restaurants to mini bar to room service. You need to read the fine print to find out what you are purchasing.
The restaurants are very classy, all 4 of them; two of them require a dress code.
Superbabe22
ALL food, drinks, room service menu is included in the all-inclusive. There are no local eateries or restaurants except a deli on the resort grounds. There are 4 different locations to eat at this resort not counting room service. 2 different breakfast locations in the morning, a snack hut, buffet and a la cart for lunch and for dinner, there is Italian, Steakhouse (which is AMAZING!), buffet or snack hut. EVERYTHING you could imagine is included in the all-inclusive. This includes ALL drinks, all food except for a select few items such as lamb and room service is included.

If we do not choose the all-inclusive plan, what does the average entree cost at the on site restaurants?6 answers
How much are beers?...cocktails?
How much are sodas?....bottled waters?
5 years, 66 months ago
klcurt2
Prices are subject to change depending on the venue you are dining at. It is best to check with the resort directly for a price range on these items.
LaurenCC
DO NOT choose anything but all-inclusive!! The average meal is $20-30 per person per meal!! Alcoholic beverages are anywhere from $5-$9 and bottled water is always free because you cannot drink from any other water source. There are NO nearby restaurants or eateries so I suggest purchasing the all-inclusive plan. You will not be able to afford purchasing food or drinks by the end of your trip. An average day with meals and drinks for 2 people costs us about $150-$250 easily.
emmyt
do all-inclusive. meal prices are inflated.
Sushisnob
Not affordable GO all-inclusive. Breakfast will run $50.00/couple and dinner $200.00 per night.
Zimthis88
I would not recommend not to use the all-inclusive plan. The prices are a little high, and no alternatives nearby.
Cocktails range from $6-$9, sodas $3-$4
The all-inclusive is the best way to go. I think is worth the money!
JCBORL
I would recommend the all inclusive. Every time we ordered anything we did have to sign a bill (this was a pain) so I did see the prices. Honestly I thought they were high but I couldn't quote any. I do remember one dinner with 8 of us was over $300. You decide if that is too high.

There is a Greg Normal Signature Course within 5 minutes and, although the resort shuttle does not provide transportation, this can be arranged via the Playa Mujeres Golf Club. As pricing will change depending on tee time and if you need to rent clubs, cart, etc., we recommend speaking directly with the Playa Mujeres Golf Club.
LaurenCC
I apologize, there is a Greg Norman* golf course nearby.
LaurenCC
Yes there is gold and yes the hotel offers a shuttle service. Not sure on the fees although when we booked all inclusive we received a voucher for a discount on golf at the nearby club.

I do not know the name of the golfing nearby. But I do know that the resort offered a $200 credit for golfing so I imagine it was somewhere near.

distance to ferry7 answers
how far is the resort from the ferry to Isla Mujeres?
5 years, 66 months ago
phila
If you are looking to be within walking distance to the ferry, we recommend a resort along the Northern stretch of the hotel zone. We recommend contact the resort directly to ask how they advise their guests to get to the Isla Mujeres Ferry.
LaurenCC
The car ferry is literally right there and takes 60 minutes. The air conditioned passenger ferry is about 10 minutes away by car and takes 50 minutes - according to someone at the hotel.
Lotsoftravel
It is right next door. You walk up the beach to the ferry. The ferry is a little slow, but it is a beautiful trip so the speed doesn't bother so much.
Some times, it looks like the ferry is going to dock on the beach in front of the hotel when it is pulling into the dock -- it is that close. Not annoying, but close.
RockyD
There is a dock less than 20 feet from the resort beach (right nextstore) if you're looking to go to Isla Mujeres.
emmyt
The ferry is literally RIGHT THERE. You can fall out of bed and land on the boat.

10 minutes - for 30 pesos you can get there via the bus that passes the hotel or a $15 cab ride.

How is beach area? Calm water and color?6 answers
Is this further north where the water is more murky green or is the water still blue? How close is it to Blue Bay Hotel and Embarcadero?
5 years, 66 months ago
MSN
Being located along the Caribbean Sea, the waters tend to be calmer; however, you will find the bluest waters as you travel South (outside of the Hotel Zone). The Villa del Palmar Cancun Luxury is also located just across the street from the El Embarcadero Ferry Terminal (at Playa Linda). We are unfamiliar with the Blue Bay Hotel located in the Hotel Zone.
LaurenCC
Water is absolutely GORGEOUS! Crystal clear fading into a light blue. Could not tell you how far those locations are, sorry!
emmyt
The water is beautiful turqouise and blue. It sits right across from Isla de Mujeres. There are no other resorts nearby. The hotel zone is about 10 minutes away but, you can see it from the beach.
SaritaTX
Gorgeous turquoise water and shallow for quite a way from the beack. It is a little rocky when you get about 15 - 20' out so I would bring water shoes if you plan to walk into the water very far. There was a fair amount of seaweed washing in but it wasn't annoying. The hotel keeps the white sand very well groomed on a daily basis and there are lots of chaises to use on the beach.
RFHood
Calm beautiful blue/green - awesone beach!

You will find that they have four different pools (which I believe are heated), one smaller pool with a temp. avg. of 85 degrees and then 3 hot tubs. The resort is located 40-45 minutes from the airport PAST the Cancun Hotel Zone. It's in a secluded area with newer construction.

roadgrader
This room features a private balcony or terrace with exquisite views of the resort's gardens.
KristenCC
Yes, this is alittle confusing. "Garden view" is the main levels, usually floor three and below and you look out into the center of the horseshow shaped inside of part of the garden area, surrounding the pools. IT IS STILL AN AWESOME ROOM! We had a third floor, garden room and we could see the beach and the ocean!! Glad we did not pay the extra $$$ to move above the third floor because our view was awesome (Room 2308).
LauraB
All rooms are ocean view. This means all windows and balconies are facing oceanside. No matter which room you pick in this resort, you WILL get the best view!!

Here's the view from my garden-view room on the 6th floor. I was in building 3, but I'm sure that every garden-view room looks at the same part of the resort. It's lovely.

back or side of resort. not very pretty.
Sushisnob
Palm trees, pool, and the middle of the resort-not bad at all

All the rooms face the ocean. Garden view are the ones on the lower level. You can glimps the ocean through the lovely folliage. I would suggest a room on either the south or west side of the building; those on the north side seem to get a lot of sun.

The beach area was a good size with ample lounge chairs. The hotel wasn't that busy during the week and we were always able to get a chair at any time. There are a lot of chairs at the several different pool areas also. On Saturday the best spots/chairs were taken but there were still a few to be found. It might be harder to get a chair during a really busy time.

There are enough chairs and it is on a very private beach. Good for a family.

We used the kids club. I think they could really improve it. It has very few games/toys/activities. (TV, X-Box, legos, arts/crafts, some board games and balls, maybe some other toys, but not a lot.) Also the staff should really organize activities among the kids more. Feels more like babysitting than day-camp. Parents could (and do) leave the kids there, but we didn't want to.
Triggy82
We didn't use the kids club but did walk through it. The times I was in there, there weren't many kids. They have a nice pool just outside the facility. My child was 8 and we had friends, so really no need to use the kids facility.

180 dollars is a rip off in my opinion if you book through cheapcarribean its 34 dollars per person round trip! If you are owners you can choose to use your kitchen in the room there is a great convience store attached to the hotel with everything you need to cook if you choose to.

I was informed it was cheaper than the spa and it was just as good if ask me. I paid just under 100 american dollars

Comparable to most other spas - I paid about $60 for an exfoliation and a ortho massage was about $140 for 80 minutes; relaxation massage slightly less. It's a beautiful spa with a well trained staff and the added bonus of a steam room and three whirlpools for customers to use before or after services.

We figured out after the first meal that wines from the special wine list were not included so we decided to only order wine by the glass that was included with the meal. Each menu clearly detailed meals and drinks that were not included.

It will say on your voucher. I think all of the CC things were the "all-inclusive unrestricted". That is what you want. There are only a few things not included in that. I can only remember a few: angus beef, lamb, fancy wine (house wine is included), and something else. If it says that all meals at all of the restaurants are included, you're good to go! Have fun!!

You have to pay for premium liquor and wines other than house. The house wine was very good and I enjoyed the mixed drinks without upgrading liquor. I believe you iether choose all inclusive or not.

There is all inclusive and there is the not all inclusive. Get the all inclusive! Are bill was 0$ when we left. It includes, beer, anything not very top shelf at the bar, all food except lamb and lobster, several house wine choices, shots, 24 hour room service food, stocked room fridges etc etc more then you could ever need.
TwoTuTango
Make sure it says All Inclusive. Some CC stuff is not all inclusive. The only drinks or meals that were not included were the super expensive wines and rare meals that are listed as $80+. As an All Inclusive, you get a good discount of 40% and stuff on those items. There are so many free things I wouldn't worry about it.

What is the cost of all inclusive dining as an add on3 answers

Jsm
This resort is all inclusive, so all food and drinks are already included in the price.
BethCC
I heard it was $109 a day (not sure pp or what). If not pp, then you can easily spend that with breakfast ($20pp)and dinner (typically signed for $90). Drinks were American priced $6-7 for a 8oz glass. I have never done all inclusive before but I would do it again here since all other options are at least a $15 cab ride each way and it took the stress out of it. The all inclusive came with some other perks but I just liked ordering 1-2 margaritas with every meal after 1pm
KMRB
I'm not sure but I'm certain its worth the cost. The ala carte prices are pretty high. Food is very good. Unlimited drinks and food everywhere all day long. Service is fantastic. Always asking if you want drinks or food at pools or beach.

The link to the resort's website to contact them directly is https://www.villapalmarcancun.com/Contact-Villa-Palmar-Cancun.html.
MariaCC
The resort provides shuttles into Cancun at no cost other than tipping the driver. You have to schedule it at least a day in advance because space is limited. I wouldn't recommend Plaza of the Americas, it's like any mall here. Later we found out we should have gone to Plaza 28 which is more local shops, better place to go if you are looking for gifts to take back home.
itsallgood
the resort does offer a free shuttle to a straw market or to the Cancun Mall (high end shopping). You need to sign up for this upon arrival and they leave during scheduled departure/pick up times.

There were 4-5 scheduled shuttles going to Cancun center offered by the hotel (not including driver tipping optional). Plus you had taxis which cost 40-60$ usd.

IS THE COST OF TRANSPORTATION TO AND FORM THE AIRPORT INCLUDED IN COST OF TRIP
4 years, 53 months ago
TAMMY
You need to buy a separate transfer to and from the hotel, which you are prompted to do when purchasing online. This hotel is about 30 min from the airport, and we purchased a round trip transfer. When we were set to leave, the transfer wanted to leave four hours prior to our flight. This was not acceptable to us, as we did not want to mill around the airport for three hours. Thus, we just took a taxi from the hotel to the airport. However, getting a taxi from the airport to the hotel was not a cheap option like the return trip was. We were advised that ppl paid $30, per person, when they did not prepay for a transfer.
velvlel1
no the transfers are extra at booking or you can get a taxi at the airport.
The drive time from the airport to the resort is around 30 mins.
np732
It is an option that you can purchase. I don't remember what the cost was but when I researched it it seemed reasonable. In the end it was well worth buying the shared transfer. The cheapcaribbean.com people are easy to spot at the airport, just walk past everyone else until you spot their colorful shirts. On my transfer back I had the van to myself, so it was as if I had a private taxi. One thing to remember if you do purchase the transfer with your package - make your return reservation within 24 hours of your arrival with the cheapcaribbean rep outside the door of Palmita (the little on site market).
RetNavyCTRC
When I was booking there was an option to add transport to/from the airport. We added this to our package and it worked out fine.

Take a taxi. $ 40.00. Do not buy a transfer. You are gonna regret.

No, there is not a Buffet option for Dinner. The resort is located on Playa Mujeres, a beach with crystal-clear turquoise waters and pristine white sand.

YES! Buffet seems to be all day! Starts with breakfast which is AMAZING and then a dinner that is equally as good. The beach is what I consider big and spacious. Plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas. Granted there was a lot of seaweed and some rocks but other than that - very clean. We understood that the seaweed was bad on most of the Mexican shores this time of year. It didn't bother us & you could still get in the water.
MyTrip
There is a buffet for dinner, however, it is closed one night of the week. I'm not sure which night. The beach is small and there is seaweed that washes up. If you are looking for a top notch beach stay at Barcelo in the Riviera Maya. The seaweed may just be the season?

Patmc55
Minimal exclusions like Kobe steak and lobster are excluded.
MrCole
There were some menu items that were available at an additional charge for all inclusive guests. Gratuities were included, though we did leave smaller additional tips for exceptional services. As an example, you could have beef filet at the steakhouse, but not a prime rib. So I didn't really have an issue.
SageN2016
Nothing but very high end menu items, I doubt if you will miss them. Only about 10 dollars more

Is it a safe enough area to feel comfortable enough to leave the resort? Perhaps to go hiking or just explore off the resort.

This resort is located in one of the top tourist hotspots in all of Mexico. Therefore it is very safe to leave the property to explore.
CaitlinCC
I can not answer this question as we did not leave the resort unfortunately due to being sick with head colds and just wanted to relax at the resort which was wonderful.
mollie1
nothing to see outside of the resort. it's not good idea to hike outside of the resort.
Eddie1949
We took the ferry that docked right next door to the resort over to the island for some tourist type shopping. It was fine. I would always be careful and prudent, but I felt safe. I would probably not have gone out the front gate on a walk nor been on the beach away from the resort and other guests at night.

To tip or not to tip?5 answers
I am planning an all-inclusive 7 day trip for my husband and I for our 12th wedding anniversary. We are blue-collar workers and have four kids. We have never had a honeymoon or getaway of any sort and we want this to be the most wonderful and care-free trip possible. The tipping thing is confusing. It says everything is included. However, I have heard complaints that if you DON'T tip the staff, you will receive terrible service or NO service at all. Is this true? If we plan to tip, how much should we plan on spending? I also heard that gratuities are not included at the restaurants.
2 years, 35 months ago
Seattle
That is not true. You will get great service no matter what. We always love to tip. These workers are great at what they do and will give you wonderful service so why not give them a little something extra. You don't have to tip $20.00 just give a dollar or two. That adds up.
Tcupp
The staff was so nice, I can't imagine that they wouldn't provide wonderful service whether you tip or not. But the service is so great you will want to tip. We tipped 15 to 20% on the total of the meals and services just like we do at home.
There were a lot of families with kids there. They have a center for children's activities so it is a kid friendly place.
Homejoy1
Righ , Tip is not included but it can be optional. and it is depending how good is the services
apham1
Hi! We just got back on 7-24-15. My husband and I went for a romantic get away. It was everything we hoped for. Every restaurant receipt said 15% gratuity included EXCEPT the Italian (not sure why). We tipped there through the receipt. When you check into the hotel they use a credit card for security deposit 2000 pesos (about $140USD). If you choose to tip on any of the receipts at the hotel it will come out of this, pretty convenient. We have great service everywhere- restaurants, pool side, beach side, bars, etc. The only addition place we tipped was if the waiter came to us (while we were laying by the pool/beach). It just felt like they were doing more work. But if we walked up to the bar and ordered then we didn't add more. Besides the Italian restaurant where we tipped on the receipt- everywhere else we tipped in cash. Usually about $5-10 USD is what we gave. But we also did pesos as well. I think the exchange rate is about 15 pesos :1 USD. Hope this helps and that you have a wonderful time. We would go back to this hotel in an instant. Also when you check in mention that it is a wedding anniversary. They upgraded our room when we mentioned it was a belated honeymoon for us. I also posted a review but I think it takes a few days to come up. I put lots of detail into it.

Tipping is optional, most resorts frown upon it, but most will accept tips.

Bars close at 11pm.
There is an adult only section, but not incredibly far away from everything else.
Wifi was $10 per device per day (I think)

There is a small pool that had about 15 lounge chairs which is designed as adults only.
This is a family hotel. If your looking for an adults only experience, I would not go to this hotel.

Adult only pool and it's right next to the spa , which we did and MAN it was so GOOD !!!!about $145 each but well worth it!

Tap Water Quality?5 answers
How is the drinking water there? Should we expect to have to buy bottles once we arrive and have to close our mouths in the shower or is it decent?
2 years, 34 months ago
Freet
The tap water supply in Cancun is filtrated, however most travelers still opt to drink bottled water instead.
CCGreg
There is an abundance of bottled water, and they used 5 gallon bottled water in the bars/restaurants. The mini bar in the room was fully stocked with bottled water and sparkling bottled water. I used bottled water to brush my teeth just in case!
WestTex
We were careful to not drink the tap water, but it wasn't that hard to do so. The resort keeps several bottles stocked in your fridge daily and if you order water in the dining areas they either bring you a bottle or pour you chilled bottled water. They were quick to reassure us that all the water they provided was bottled. The water from the tap smelled a little and we ended up even brushing out teeth with bottled water, just to be safe. We didn't think to keep our moths shut in the shower and neither of us got sick. We were on the all inclusive plan and did not have to pay for any of the extra bottled water while at the resort. You might if you are on the European plan
CaitW
As we were all inclusive, the room fridge was stocked with bottles of water (large and small) for use. It was refilled daily. They did have non-bottled water poured for restaurant uses -- I was told it was just in a larger "bottle" for that use (like one of the big water dispensers I think). Overall, we showered and washed faces etc. and did not have any illness issues. We did use the bottle to brush teeth and rinse brushes.
SageN2016
Tap water was decent and if you get the all inclusive package which I recommend then you can drink all the bottled water and beer from your room small fridge and they re stock it every day.

Yes, the infinity pool is only for Members, but there are so many other pools we never cared. There is a portion of beach I think is only for Members and a separate breakfast buffet. The regular breakfast is more than adequate though. Its really only a small area that is exclusive.

This resort is only sold as All Inclusive by Cheapcaribbean.com therefore there is not a breakdown of costs for food. If the resort is booked, food and drink are automatically included.
CCGreg
While all meals are included (even if you chose to have more than 3), each meal comes with a guest receipt to sign for formality. The food prices for each individual entree was between 150 - 350 pesos, and they convert the price in dollars on the receipt. A meal for 2 with 2 drinks each person was about $50-$60 on our receipts. Gratuity is included.

We bought the all inclusive .. a few things were extra but there is information about that.

For the most part, all the food is free besides some special dishes, but you still save 40 % if you choose to have those dishes, but to be honest, the selection and the taste of all the food that IS included is delicious and so authentic!!

Check the foreign transaction fees on your credit/debits before leaving. Some will charge you 3% or more to pay that way. I suggest bringing many small bills for tipping/activities.
vacationer4life
Either cash or credit are widely accepted. US dollars or pesos

It is if you ask for it. My agent said he always asks. I would make sure
VMLJFL
Not included. You can book buses for a small charge booked though cheapcarribean.com or private van for a little more.
PoulsboMike
No transportation is not included, but you can pay for a company called amstar to pick you up from the airport and take you back, I bought that and it was very much worth it. It was called shared transport shuttle.
Beccalynn
Yes, if you click to include it in your package at checkout.

Hotel Description
Villa del Palmar Cancun Luxury Beach Resort & Spa in Mexico: Playa
Mujeres and Full-Service Spa
Not everyone has the good fortune of living right on the beach, so instead of
making the trek with the kids every weekend, just head for your home away from
home at Villa del Palmar Cancun Luxury Beach Resort & Spa in Mexico. Cancun
has never been more family-friendly than it is at this resort, removed from the
Hotel Zone's rowdy parties. Fun activities and relaxing amenities are just a
few reasons why families pick this elegant all inclusive resort.
A huge stretch of Playa Mujeres welcomes fearless youngsters ready for
jumping waves and splashing up a storm while their parents grab cervezas and
drag sun loungers right up to the water's edge. Two pools are the best way to
cool down, especially with the awesome waterfall bridge. Swim up an appetite
and sit down to dinner at one of the three restaurants; you can dine on yummy
tenderloin at La Casona, hearty rigatoni at Davino's and fresh sushi on the
terrace at Zama Restaurant. Practice your salsa steps to live music after
dinner before stopping at Tiki Beach Bar for a nightcap.
Hanging out at the beach is popular at Villa del Palmar Cancun Luxury Beach
Resort & Spa, and there are plenty of ways to enjoy the scenery. Have a
kayak race with the kids, snorkel through the underwater kingdom or test your
reflexes with windsurfing. Golfers have their pick of courses with more than 10
golf courses nearby, and relax-ationers soak up the soothing at the hotel's
spa. Take a trip through the hydrotherapy circuit before letting the stress
melt away on a massage table.
When it's time to call it a day, we think the suites at this resort are the
perfect choice. The Two Bedroom Suite sleeps up to eight and features a fully
equipped kitchen in case you want to whip up a midnight snack. The upscale
perks, like a flat-screen TV with pay-per-view movies and balcony with an ocean
view, make you feel right at home.
