MPI chose Moon Palace for the site of MeetDifferent 2010 because of the value the all-inclusive property would provide our attendees. Below are points we considered (and you should too!) when choosing the Moon Palace for our accommodations.
How It All Adds Up
The chart below details the cost of staying at Moon Palace versus another a comparable non-inclusive property in Cancun and a comparable downtown U.S. property.

| | | | |
| TOTALS | $238.00 | $482.85 | $412.80 |
Right off the bat, you’ll notice that the room rate for the Moon Palace is only $19 more per night than the non-inclusive property in Cancun. Transportation to and from the conference will more than eat up that savings immediately. Throw in the extra value you’ll receive by having meals, entertainment, taxes, and tips included in the Moon Palace rate and this quickly becomes a no-brainer.
What Your Room Rate Actually Costs
The room rate for Moon Palace is $238 per night (Saturday, February 20 - Wednesday, February 24) and is all-inclusive. If you stayed at non-inclusive hotel, your traditional costs per day would be:
- Taxes: At 15%, $35
- Tips: $10
- Roundtrip Transportation To and From Airport: $50. Divided by 4 days = $12 a day
- Breakfast (MPI doesn’t offer free breakfast at WEC or MD): $20
- Dinner: $60
- Wi-Fi: $10
- Long Distance Calls from Room: $10
- Miscellaneous: $26
If you were to add up these additional costs and subtract them from your all-inclusive rate of $238, your actual room rate would only be $64. That’s a good deal just about anywhere.
A Perk You Might Not Have Imagined
At an all-inclusive property, such as the Moon Palace, networking opportunities are enhanced for all levels. Since there is no cost for dining at the restaurants, cost is not a barrier to mingling with all levels of professionals. And we all know what that’s worth.
Please Note:
MPI and Moon Palace have subsidized this room rate to cover not only the food and beverage that is typically provided to attendees as part of their registration, but also dinner, drinks and entertainment. Any guests staying off property are welcome to all conference activities with the purchase of a full conference registration, but are requested to refrain from accessing the hotel's food and beverage outlets after conference hours. For non-guests who wish to enjoy the full amenities of the hotel, a day pass of $50 is available.
