This is the first trip to this resort and I was very happy with the accomodations. Some of the reviews mentioned flat pillows and uncomfortable beds but i did not experience that. The furnishings were a little worn but clean, the shower was great. The resort is very large and there is a lot of walking but the trams and... More

Would have preferred rating this hotel at 3.5 stars. Overall, my impression is a positive one with limited caveats. The rooms are marginal and show their wear and age. Nicely designed but with neglected maintenance, including threadbare bedspreads and paint in need of some touch-up. Mini-bars were nice and the color schemes were standard with many of the bright colors... More

This was my first trip to Mexico, so I have nothing to compare Grand Palldium Colonial to, but it was fantastic! Everyone is extremely friendly, and the service was almost always top notch! Pros: - The beach is looovely. There is plenty of seating and snorkel equipment / towels are complimentary so you can just jump into the ocean and... More

We have been to the Grand Palladium and have always enjoyed ourselves. We have stayed at the Colonial, Katenah, and the Royal Suites. We enjoyed everyone of them. We have always had a Mayan Suite. We like those rooms because they have the outside showers. Just something different. No one can see you, if you are worried about that. We... More

Firstly I'd like to say this is a very nice resort and its our second visit... There is a problem here at the moment with the amount of people getting sick, when you ask them about this problem they just blame people drinking to much or eating to much food!!.. The front desk said there wasn't a problem, just like... More

We have just returned from 2 weeks at the Grand Palladium Colonial and had a fantastic time. I will just summarise our experience so not to duplicate the previous good reviews. Rooms are adequate and clean, mini bar stocked daily. Pool areas great - adults or family pools to choose from, all have bars. Beach is nice and long, white... More
