When Palace Resorts opened its first resort, the Beach Palace, in 1985, the hotel was a novelty. Not only because it offered luxurious, comfortable rooms in an unbeatable location, with views of Cancun's breathtaking beaches, but because it was a pioneer in the all inclusive concept: accommodations, dining, and gratuities all included in one rate.
Pirates of the Last Resort was the third release of the game series created to engage meeting planners over a period of several months. This adventure starred a fictional pirate Canary Jill that took meeting clients hostage on her ship. Visitors engage in ocean battles in order to return their clients to the resort. After successfully completing the game, visitors were entered into a final drawing to win a variety of prizes.
