The hotel, unless you are in a royal junior suite (in building 3) or upgrade to the 'royal suites' (building 5) you will be shocked that this is a 4-4 1/2 star resort. The first room we were in was directly beside the kids pool with loud, disco music starting at 9am, the foam on the bed was exposed because... more

Our rooms in the Royal suites we spacious clean and comfortable. The pool was fantastic as there was not alot of people staying there, so you akways... more

I just returned from this resort after 7 days, 5 of which there was about 60% children 40% Adults and that included at 12 midnight in the disco! For the first 5 days there were two ppl not of Mexican decent in the resort and we were them. We were disrespected and over charged by everyone we spoke to and... more

We stayed here for a week with another couple based on the reviews and price. I was hoping for a 4 star but I would place it closer to a 2.5 star. The hotel was ok and the food was as to be expected for Mexico but the Beach was horrible. The pictures they show are far from what it... more

This resort has been a favorite of ours for many years. As the all inclusive food/accomodations makes it not only delicious but affordable. The Pallidium is located directly in front of a very fun, forgiving surf break, that generally is a very long hike to reach if not a guest. We have been going for many years and the staff... more

This is a wonderful resort, but make sure you stay in the newer Royal Suites (which is adults only). The service is great all over the resort, the food is excellent in all the restaraunts (the buffet is OK, but that's one perk of the Royal Suites - unlimited A La Carte!) We went to the Mexican restaraunt almost every... more

The hotel had a great array of resturants to choose from. Being there in their slow season, the service was excellent. This is a fantastic resort if you enjoy surfing (one of the locals favorite areas). The nightly entertainment was fun and lively! more

We stayed at the Palladium from August 15-22, 2009. We read some negative reviews before we went, but we are easy-going people who try to make the best of all situations, so we were not too concerned. We're not sure why people complain about the Palladium, because we really found no fault with it. It took us about 35 minutes... more
