    Wonderful stay…
    5 / 5
    We loved the quality of the hotel for the price. It had a very cute beachy vibe, and we loved both the pool and the beach area. We enjoyed laying on the beach beds and wish we could have had more time there! The room was basic but clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful in setting up transport to the airport. It was a short walk to town with many restaurants. We would definitely stay again!…

    5 / 5
    The Grand Palladium Resort is a beautiful paradise. That is what makes it so unique. As soon as my family and I checked in Thursday evening, we felt like we had entered a tropical, beach paradise and no matter where we were throughout the entire resort during our week’s stay, that feeling never changed. I love that this resort has so many options for everything, like so many a la carte restaurants to choose from that we weren’t able to eat at all of them during our week’s stay. That’s amazing for an all inclusive resort. They offer so many swimming options, a lot of beautiful, clean, enormous, wonderful pools. They have a water park for kids, which is really great. The beach is literally right there, it was just footsteps away from our room and these are gorgeous, clean, private beaches that go on and on. They offer so many different options for amenities and activities. These are included, so you can check our paddle boards, catamarans, snorkel gear, etc. The activities desk was top notch, they arranged our sea turtle snorkeling in Akumal. My 10 year old son loved the Segway tour the resort offers that goes all over the resort, which does cost extra, but not that much. (Also when we checked in we were given a coupon book with $1500 worth of coupons we could use all over the resort if we wanted. It included coupons for the Segway tour!) He loved it so much that he ended up doing it twice! Guest services was always so very helpful, tending to our every need, always friendly.…
