Bill,
Just got back from the Spa Palace on November 23rd. The resort is wonderful! We were on the Aventura side of the resort which seemed a little bit more active. The Spa side appeals to those a little more laid back or are really into to fitness. Either way you can't go wrong.
Mundaca restaurant is the BEST! Most of the others are only open for dinner and unfortunately, we were out most nights doing other activities so we missed dinner (however, we did use room service often and the food and service were great!)
If you're not going until January, check back here for more information as I promised the forum that I would give a complete trip report when I got back! I've been extremely busy (Christmas season) since I got back and haven't had the time. I have some vacation time during the holidays and I hope to catch up then!
