I travel 4 to 5 times a year and I had been very interested in staying at a Palladium resort on Mayan Riviera. I stayed here May 13-20 with my son and grandson, we booked a one bedroom suite, and we were in building 56. When we walked into our room I wanted to walk right out again, it looked... More

My family (husband, 2 sons (9 and 6)) stayed here for 6 nights with another family with kids. This was our first stay at a Grand Palladium resort and our first time to the Maya Riviera area. We booked through Travelocity and our direct flight on Frontier was good. Customs at the airport was pretty easy, too. We booked a... More

I went to this hotel last year and it is by far, the most beautiful place I have ever stayed. There are so many restaurants and bars that are amazing and have the most delicious food. The margaritas are legendary!! I went with my husband, who had never been to an all inclusive resort before and this place set the... More

This is the 5th resort I have stayed at in this area, and the largest. Which can be positive or negative depending on what you want in a resort.... Negative-This compound of 5 resorts is huge. I love walking, but we all felt turned around and confused by the maps given to us. We felt like we wasted a lot... More

We just got home from our 15 night stay at the Grand Palladium White Sands. We had around 50 people traveling from all over the United states join us here. I spent a great deal of time researching the perfect place for all of my guests. I have traveled to Mexico many times, but only once to the Riviera maya... More

We (couple plus 12 year old son) spent 10 days at the Grand Palladium in April 2012. This was our 5th time at this resort (2 Grand Palladium Colonial; 1 Grand Palladium Kantenah; 2 Grand Palladium White Sand). Last year we went to the Palladium in the Dominican Rep. which was a HUGE disappointment (rooms and beach were nice but... More

This is a great place if you want to enjoy the sun and sand of the Riviera Maya in México. Food is premium quality, lots of fun activities. Distances are a bit long, so you better be prepared to walk a lot. Keep your map handy as you may easily get lost. Night shows are worth watching. If money is... More

Hello! My boyfriend and I went to GPWS a couple weeks ago for 4 nights/5 days and had an amazing time! I had been to Cancun before and thought we should try out Riviera Maya. We booked through B2C Vacations (found from Travel Zoo) and everything went very smoothly. They had organized group transportation for us so as soon as... More

We just returned from our 13th trip to a Grand Palladium (Mexico, Punta Cana and Jamaica) and our third vacation at Grand Palladium White Sands. We have also stayed in the Colonial section of the resort. People often ask us why we choose to return to the same resort time and time again. Obviously, we love the Palladiums. For the... More

This is a very big resort. We stayed in the White Sands Section. However there are Kantenah, Colonial, Royal Suites, and Riviera sections as well. To get more information about this massive resort, I researched palladiumaddicts.net website. This website is great, because it has a pdf describing a lot of the rooms and lots of great information about the resort.... More
