First of all, when we registered, they charged us ten dollars as tax, which we paid, but the employees couldn't do it properly. We tried to use our bank card several times and the transaction was canceled, and we tried to use our card again. Two days after our stay, they called our room and said that the money had not been withdrawn from our account and that we had to come to the hotel again to pay. We went to pay again, but they said that we would come in the afternoon to pay. Our minds were all occupied with this issue and I didn't feel good. As for the restaurant, first of all, the food plates were clearly not washed properly, and in the chicken and meat section, I asked for a second serving of chicken, and the server served me the chicken with such dissatisfaction and reluctance that I never went there again, even though the amount was very small. At first, I suggested that I could serve the chicken myself, but the server didn't allow it.

My family of four has been traveling to the Riviera Maya for the past 13 years. We always spend spring break at different resorts. This was our second time (first trip was on 2020 post Covid) to the Grand Palladium. We loved our first stay, but our recent visit was absolutely wonderful!!! The new Family Selection program is great! The resort is beautiful and well maintained, but the employees make the difference. I cannot say enough good things about them all. Everyone smiles and says hello! They are incredibly friendly and helpful. Humberto was taking care of us prior to our arrival and treated us as royalty during our entire stay!!! Can't thank him enough for our best stay on the Riviera Maya!!! Butlers Paris, Emmanuel and Luis were incredible as well! The maid service provided was impeccable which was greatly appreciated!!! I cannot recommend this property and the Family Selection highly enough! So grateful and blessed to have had this experience!

We just returned from a stay at the Family Selection at Grand Palladium. We had two adults as well as 14 and 16yo girls. I think it's fair to say that all of our expectations were exceeded. The property itself is huge- I would venture to guess we saw less than half. If (hopefully when) we go again, I would do Family Selection again as it gives you the most access across all the areas. Our butler was incredibly helpful; particularly with making our dinner reservations at the a la carte restaurants. We ate at the Hibachi restaurant (Sumptuori), the Italian restaurant (Portofino), the steak house (El Dorado), and the Brazilian Steakhouse (Bahia and Brasa.) Again, if (hopefully when) we return, I would revisit all except the Brazilian steakhouse. They seemed to be short staffed and you only get one shot at each meat. We ate breakfast at the Nest each day. They had a buffet and also the ability to order from the menu. Most days for lunch we ate at Es Niu which had a great selection and amazing service from Maria, Leo and Lizbeth. Overall this was an amazing trip. We didn't leave feeling as though we needed a vacation following our vacation. We were able to relax and enjoy the various things offered. Highly recommend.

We stayed for a week in the Family Selection in a swim up suite. We have a 9 and 12 year old. It was nice having the pool area outside the suite for them to hang out in. The food at the buffets are decent. A good amount of fresh grilled items. Book the restaurants in advance. IMO El Dorado (get Filet Mignon), Japanese Restaurant, and Italian Restaurant are worth booking. The Thai and Brazilian places were not great. Staff are awesome. We had a Butler and it was so handy, they are so responsive. The only warning I would say is it is a great place to go as a family or someone looking for a relaxing vacation. If you are looking to party hard the night time entertainment is OK and the adults only TRS pool seemed to be filled with 60 who were not exactly in the partying mood. It was a great place for what we wanted.

We absolutely loved our stay at Grand Palladium Family Selection. Having the VIP butler services was an added upgrade that was absolutely worth it! They were all truly amazing, helpful and very friendly. The two recommendation our family would like to make is the dinning out options are sometimes confusing on the app. It looks like the buffet is open on the Palladium app and a couple times we arrived to the restaurants as there were closing which was frustrating. Having more mid-day (11am-1pm) dinning options would be great for family with teens! Haha! Another recommendation would be to make sure hot food is kept and served hot, not luke warm like we experience a few times. One of our family members experienced major stomach upset/fever etc by day 5 of our stay for 4 days and made the ability to do excursions Impossible. Maybe due to this issue? We do sincerely appreciate everything Palladium had to offer and we can’t wait to come back again one day soon! Mucho gracias!!!

We love coming to the Riviera Maya, but we have never been before to this resort. We stated at FS at Kantenah w two kids ages 9 and 5. We stayed at building 50 and loved the location. Close to the beach and across the FS pool and buffets The resort is stunning. Located within the jungle and mangroves, wildlife is everywhere, and our kids loooved it. We counted over 100 iguanas, saw a snake, agoutis, coatis and a basilisk lizard. Service is just out of this world, everywhere. From the people taking care of the grounds to the Buttler team. Daniela, Guillermo and Rogelio made our stay the most special. They were so helpful. Our kids got sick and helped us get the dr to the room, let us know when medication was ready, make sure that we had all we needed in the room all the time, informed us about the entertainment every day and surprised our kids with spectacular balloon art one night when we came back to the room. Lizbeth at the FS pool is the kindest, hard working and attentive waitress. Always making sure people were happy and served. Our days in the pool were always brightened by her service. Fernanda the FS manager is a star. Always checking around, making sure all is going well, helping tidy the areas, talking to customers, really made a difference to see a Manager so involved and caring. Room was perfect. So clean. After this, it will be hard to match. Absolutely a great week.
