Had an amazing time with our family. The only feedback - we booked a family selection room with a swimup pool. It would be nice if there was some privacy separation between the pool of our neighbors. We had instances where our neighbors were in front of our pool area, basically viewing inside of our room. Other than that, everything was perfect.

Trip dates: Aug 1–6, 2025. Family of 4, teens 15 & 17. Resort looks great but lacks follow-through. We were assigned the wrong bed type (one king) and had to push for a room change. Food quality is a major issue—cold, bland, and very small portions. I got food poisoning from the Sports Bar and was sick for 24 hours. Family Selection restaurant (The Nest) was slow and inedible. Pools are mixed—Colonial is too deep, Family Selection overcrowded, but White Sands pool was the best part of the resort. Drink quality poor at most bars except Churchill’s in Kantenah lobby. Also got stuck in a 2-hour Travel Club sales pitch just for massage vouchers—not worth it. Overall, disappointing stay. Won’t return.

We were a party of 16 and it was very hard to make dinner reservations to eat all together, even at the buffet. The rooms are on the smaller side. The bathrooms have very little counter space. The staff doesnt try to accomedate with any request. Beach is not swimeable, too much sea weed.

It was huge and well kept around the grounds. We went when the seaweed was extreme however they did their best to keep it clean. The pools were nice and enjoyable and the food was… okay. The biggest issue was we had family selection VIP and yet felt like we had no benefits except a butler (who just was a concierge for the most part) the “vip” pool had rough edges and my kids and I all got extremely sick from it. I presume diapers full of poop from irresponsible parents swimming in there. It was gross. Another big issue was the pressure to upgrade our VIP with a better VIP. I mean why did we pay for it if it’s useless? Absolutely ridiculous waste of money. Learned my lesson to never pay for VIP at these resorts. Our main bar in the vip section was closed. The hammocks in our vip section empty and barren. The beach area abandoned. Overall I had a bad experience and will never invest in their resort again.

We stayed at the family selection Kantenah. Upon arrival everyone was amazing. We were a large group of 14. Our butlers were great and helped us make reservations at most restaurants to accommodate our entire party when possible. At check in Lenny was amazing and helped us every time we needed something. We had a few issues with our room but they were always understandable and got it resolved. Jonathan at the pool was amazing at getting us drinks everyday! The food was amazing at most restaurants. We had the most excellent service at the Nest restaurant night service from Daniel and Juan Poot. Our experience was great and service top tier. Thank you for our stay.

We absolutely loved our 10 day stay at Grand Palladium. The upgrade to Family Selection was absolutely worth it due to the extra amenities and having a butler, but not necessary to have a great vacation. The food was great everywhere we went, but the Dalia was our favorite buffet. The staff was always amazing. The only reason I did not give it a 5 star is because I wanted more from the beach, there was a small area where we could swim, but other than than this place was amazing. Also, if you stay here, take advantage of the professional photographers there, you won't regret it!

We stayed with a party of 8, 4 adults and 4 children ranging in ages from 5-11. We really enjoyed the butler service as it made dinner reservations very easy compared to other resorts we have stayed at. The resort is big and has a lot to offer, service was great except at the beach buffett/restaurant. Overall great stay and would definitely come back again!

Property was beautiful, from the lobby, grounds, the rooms, and the pool, everything was very well taken care of. My only suggestion is to keep an eye out for food and service in a la carte restaurants. Food quality is inconsistent across buffets and the a la carte restaurants can use more staff. Drinks were great , bartenders in lobby of FS were awesome! Thanks to Betty and Fernanda for taking care of my family and me!

We stayed 6 nights and had a great time. The property grounds are gorgeous- that was my favorite part. And seeing all of the local wildlife. There are iguanas and lizards everywhere and other small Mammals and birds. As advertised the property is very large and we didn’t even see all of it. They have transportation available whenever needed to get from point A to B. We used that regularly. Our kids preferred the main pool and the white sands pool over the smaller family selection pool so unfortunately we didn’t take advantage of the family selection bars or pool. The sargassum was horrible and we didn’t get to enjoy the beach at all. We did attend a UV party on the beach which was fun at night. The entertainment could use a little upgrade but we did enjoy the Latin Dancers and went to the tequila and taco party on the first night we arrived. I wish we would have not been so tired- that would Have been fun to dance and try some of the food and treats. The rooms were adequate and comfortable. We really only used our butler for making dinner reservations and setting up rides a few times. I didn’t have the what’s app and had to relay on others in our party to contact them. I tried to download it but had no cell coverage and I couldn’t get the app to work. The WiFi was decent throughout most of the resort. We food was average buffet fare and the Al A Carte restaurants we went to were very good. Overall we throughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return!
