1..when you get off the plane & meet your west jet rep, ask if the bus ride is direct or they are dropping off passengers at other hotels. If dropping along the way, get your return pass & consider sharing a cab with another couple and travel direct. It will cost you around 250 - 300 pesco one way, but... more

Went with a girlfriend from work, it was my first time to Mexico and first all inclusive. Beautifully located out of the city, built into the rocks tiered downward towards the ocean, the bus ride was a bit scary in the dark on a very windy road. The staff was very friendly and worked very hard to make our stay... more

My girlfriend and I just returned from a one week trip to the Palladium. Our entire week was superb. The service and quality of food, of all three restaurants was excellent. The cafeteria and snack bars were very good. The beach sand and surf were the highlight of the trip. Pools were more than adequate. The resort has a good... more

We loved the room with the jaccuzi tub in the middle... more

Background info: I have been to Cuba Cancun and the Mayan Riviera. Have stayed at a 2star, a 4.5 star and a 3.5 star resort. I was a bit nervous about the Palladium when I read reviews,but not overly because I had read bad reviews about the other resorts I was staying at too and those resorts were fine. GOOD:... more

I was at this resort some 8 months ago and staying in building 3 (newly reno'ed) had a great time. As a result of our last trip I recomended this resort to many freinds for our recent trip. 10 others joined us there, upon our arrival, the front desk put all of our friends in building one and us in... more

A beautiful all-inclusive resort, about 45 minutes north-west of the Puerto Vallarta airport. With five different restaurants, countless bars (all included in the price), one large pool and an adults only pool overlooking the ocean, a kids club (keep the parents free), a small zoo, and an evening show every day. The food is plentiful, varied, yummy, and essentially always... more
