How To Book
go to www.palaceresorts.com
this is the non-member website
select the resort, dates, adults, kids
click “View Rates”
Once you are completely ready to book, contact Annie Poage at 325-260-7447.
You can see the rate for each day when you click the dates in the second drop down menu.
The total for each type of room is listed below that.
Subtract 20% from this total, and that is how much it will cost when booking through Dr. Poage’s membership.
If it says “Sorry, No availability!” for the specific dates you want, then call Dr. Poage. They reserve a certain number of rooms for members, so sometimes we can still book it!
Don’t forget your flights!
Family Vacations!
Palace is overall a very family-friendly resort consortium.
Moon Palace in Jamaica has a Flowrider (surf and body-board simulator), horse-back riding in the ocean, swim with dolphins, Jamaican bobsled, zip-lining through the treetop canopy, climb Dunn’s River Falls, dune-buggies in the mud, jet ski flyboard, night club, and much more!
The Grand in Cancun is the Palace flagship resort and has an on-site water park, tons of restaurants, golf, beaches, night club, and much more!
NOTE: some excursions are included, and some you have to pay additional for.
Diving!
Cozumel Palace is THE place to go for scuba-diving and has an on-site dive shop with on-site diving instructors. This is actually where Annie, the boys and I learned to dive and got our initial PADI open-water certification - best experience ever! Incredible family activity! The boys were 16yo and 12yo at the time. They have their own private dock and the dive boats pick you up right from the resort (instead of having to shuttle an hour or more!)
There is not as much to do from an excursion standpoint and the primary draw is diving.
NOTE: some excursions are included, and some you have to pay additional for. You may be able to apply resort credits to diving.
Couples Getaway!
Le Blanc Spa Resorts is the definition of luxury, class, and being waited on hand-and-foot! Enjoy wine-tasting, candle-lit dinners on the beach, a sunset catamaran, etc
NOTE: some excursions are included, and some you have to pay additional for.
Safety: Palace has phenomenal safety! Every person gets an arm-band, which is also your room key. All kids & teens under 18 get a purple wrist-band, and the security guards will not let anyone off the beach unless with a parent, and they will not let anyone on to the beach without a palace wrist band. We felt completely safe letting the boys run around the resort together - even when they were 12yo and 9yo.
Full Disclosure: What do we get out of it? Well, for every 2 weeks that get booked, we get an extra week. That’s it. We do not get any commission, kick-back, etc.
