Luxury all-inclusive resort in Ocho Rios with modern amenities and family-friendly facilities. Multiple pools including FlowRider surf simulator. Extensive kids club and teen lounge.
Moon Palace Jamaica is a large all-inclusive resort located on the north coast of Jamaica in the parish of Saint Ann, near Ocho Rios. The property is part of the Palace Resorts group — a Mexican hospitality brand operating large all-inclusive properties across the Caribbean — and is positioned as a premium family-friendly resort with an extensive range of amenities suited to guests of all ages. The resort's oceanfront setting provides direct access to a private beach along Jamaica's lush north coast.
Room inventory spans several categories from standard oceanview rooms to swim-up suites with direct pool access. All rates are fully all-inclusive, covering accommodation, meals at all nine on-site restaurants, unlimited domestic and premium spirits, room service, and access to entertainment and activities programming. Dining options range from formal à la carte restaurants serving Jamaican, Japanese, and international cuisines to casual beach grills and a 24-hour buffet facility available around the clock.
One of the resort's most distinctive features is the FlowRider — a stationary wave machine that allows guests to practise surfing and bodyboarding on a simulated wave within the resort grounds. Multiple pools of varying depths cater to different age groups and include a dedicated family pool with shallow entry areas. An extensive kids club and teen lounge run structured daily programming, and evening entertainment includes a nightclub, live shows, and themed events. A full-service spa offers treatments at a surcharge, and the fitness centre is open 24 hours.
Moon Palace Jamaica is designed to accommodate large family groups and multi-generational travellers who value variety and activity within a single resort. Its scale — with over 600 rooms and extensive entertainment infrastructure — distinguishes it from Jamaica's smaller boutique properties, offering a high-energy, activity-rich environment with strong value for the all-inclusive price point.
