Great value

Stayed at the Grand palladium in Akemal January 2019.Very well maintained resort with lots of pathway options. Very safe feeling resort. Shows have been updated this year with a great dance troop providing entertainment. most nights. The paths through the mangroves are like a free eco adventure so slow down and pay attention. Food was plentiful with lots of choices. Rooms were lovely and the beach had good sandy areas and fish to see. especially late afternoon. Not a party resort.

Beautiful resort... very organized... clean and great service and staff #1

Would recommend to friends and family...will return. Great scenery Well kept... very organized & awesome staff & great entertainment we hope to come back next year. Beautiful beach & very friendly staff in every area .Pools are amazing & fun games, yoga & volleyball games to play . Want a special thanks to our pool waiters Lucy and Cesar 😄👍

Amazing resort

Resort was amazing with all the facilities and staff, I would definitely come back again to it if I have a chance to The resort is so relaxing and it have so many places to stay at and chill for a vacation Only thing we were not happy with is the room, it was a bit old and the room was dammed and the AC was not working properly, room service did not change the towels as requested and required is to call on many occasions to get the new face towels

Beautiful resort but..

Gorgeous resort with lots of pools, loved the flamingos! The beach was ok, lots of seaweed hard to walk the beach if that's something you love to do (also smelly). A lot of the resort staff had a hard time understanding English which was frustrating when trying to ask questions about the menu or even make a drink order. They also seemed to be short staffed the bars usually only had one bartender and it was busy and would take forever to get a drink. My parents had returned for the 3rd time to th [... read more]is resort and were saying that it used to be better. Not being able to use things that you could before just because your not a member is pretty disappointing. I dont appreciate constantly trying to be sold on being a member, not sure I will ever visit another Palladium resort just for that reason alone. I did love how large it was and how beautifully it was kept. Would be a great destination for a wedding, we watched lots of them. It was awesome you could eat at an al a cart every night after doing buffet for breakfast and lunch it was a really nice touch.

Had a great time- Family friendly

This was a great spot for our family vacation with several generations. Clean, friendly, helpful, good food, lots of variety, so much space, lots of pools, nice beach etc. Would go back again and I'm not typically an all-inclusive type person. The only downfall was the distance from the airport, but that is also what made it such a nice place to be.

Beautiful Resort, Adequate Food

Overall, the grounds were sprawling and beautiful. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. There was enough to do at the resort to keep us occupied. We loved the idea of adult nights only at certain nights of the restaurant. The only drawback is that the food was lukewarm at best and the quality varied significantly from different areas, with the restaurants at the White Sands Resort being significantly better.

Amazing resort!!

I was very impressed with the resort and the beach .No fighting to find a lounge chair to sit at the beach or the many pools. .The food was fabulous and plenty of restaurants to chose from .I loved the eco friendly feel of the place with lots of green floral around .Also they did have plenty of palm trees for shade on the beach. I did go scuba diving on this trip and found the dive crew friendly and had a very nice dive .I will definitely go back .

Totally Awesome

This was my 5th time at the Grand Palladuim and the first time for my partner. I keep going back because whether it's the beach, pools, food drinks, staff, activities, the wild and garden areas, it never fails to impress me......Best value for money in the Maya Riveira.

Wonderful family vacation spot

The hotels were clean, well organized and well kept. Most important all of the staff were amazingly friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the flamingoes and crocodiles. The shows were fabulous. Even our 3 and 4 year old grandsons loved the dancing and singing. We appreciated the environmental efforts the hotel is making for example not using plastic disposable cups thus lowering the amount of plastic waste.

Great Food, Rocky Water

Restaurants were all great, with a wide variety of a la cartes available. Beach was weedy during our stay, but there's no control over that. The water was rocky, unfortunately, with no good spots to go in the ocean. The pools were very nice, and there were a lot of good activities available on the resort, including archery and air rifles. There are also a large number of animals wandering the resort, including at least two families of cats when we were there. The green spaces between the haciend [... read more]as and the lobbies were nice to walk through, but there are shuttles available if you want to use them. Rooms are fine but nothing special - they're not something I look for in a resort, however, so they had no real impact on me. The bed was a bit hard. Resort is close to Akumal (15 mins: snorkeling, swimming with turtles), Tulum (30 mins: archaeological site, nice beach), and Playa Del Carmen (30 mins: nightlife, shopping).

Great place

Housekeeping was not good. First day we arrived we waited 2.5 hrs for our room to be ready only to go in and c that there was someone else’s hair in the tub, floor was very dirty & sticky, as was the table. The balcony was very dirty not swept in a really long time. I requested housekeeping to come back & clean and nobody showed up, also when he/she did come we tipped good for that week, but not everything was cleaned! And most times we had to get our own drinks for the fridge, he only showed [... read more] up 2-3x during our stay . As for housekeeping - a score of 3 out of 10! Also coffee & condiments? I had to go to the front desk every day and get my own until I insisted onth bringing me some for everyday of my stay . Also went to a restaurant on the beach side and I was sick for two days after I eat when you’re vomiting the food that you actually ate at the restaurant and you know exactly what it is I had all the symptoms of food poisoning also when people go to the pool side and they reserve a chair with a book and a towel on it and it sits vacant from nine in the morning till five at night something needs to be done about that

Fabulous resort!

The hotel was wonderful. We were a large group and this hotel offered something for everyone. The walking paths away from the “roads” where the golf carts roamed, were great. The food was the best I’ve ever seen at a resort. Eating at a la cartes every night was a real treat, although the “reservation” system could use some work - or at least some education to the users. Bar fridges weren’t restocked on a daily basis as advertised which was a little disappointing, but manageable [... read more]. It was easy to get chairs at the beach or the pool everyday which was lovely. The staff was very friendly and went out of their way to make our stay pleasant.

Wonderful resort

The hotel was excellent. The way the restaurants are booked could use some work, but the ability to eat in a la carte every night was fantastic. The food was very good and there was something to do for everyone. Getting the bar fridge re-stocked on a regular basis was a bit of a chore. Difficult to figure out how the air conditioning worked but finally managed!

Beautiful Resort!

The hotel is very beautiful, with three lobbies. Kantenah and Colonial are right beside each other while the White Sands is a fair distance away. The majority of the entertainment and events take place at the Colonial lobby. The service was great, however much of the information seems to be left out. We were told reservations can only be made at two restaurants, Seafood and Japanese; this is actually not the case. You can call 5000 from your room to make reservations at all of the other res [... read more]taurants. The restaurant food was quite good, and minimal wait times at each even without reservations. Alcohol in you room is limited, but you can order a bottle to be delivered to you room if you would like something other than soft drinks, water or beer. Also not information told to us. The location is between Playa and Tulum, so depending on where you excursions are your travel time may be a little longer than some of the other resorts. I always struggle with the value at all inclusive resorts; our family is very active so excursions are a big part of our holiday. While these are very expensive themselves, you loose out of the all inclusiveness of the resort. So it is difficult for me to rate the value fairly. All in all, our family had a wonderful time here.

Great family holiday

The accomodations were good, although bathroom could have been cleaner. Entrance door to bedroom was difficult to open, and the bed too soft for our licking. TV transmission was not great. Great balcony for relaxation and reading. Restaurants were great, staff very helpful and polite. Nice clean beach, and great pools.

Great Resort

This resort was amazing. Staff were very helpful and the food was great. Plenty of Ala carts with no reservations required. They have a food allergy program which was very helpful to us as my wife is gluten free. The chef would come out and explain what she could eat and even offered to make something extra. If you have food allergies this is the place to go. Nice beach although there were a few rocks getting in to the water but fine after that. Pools were good. Would go again

Amazing Resort

We just returned from a week stay at Grand Palladium Kantenah Resort and Spa, it was our third time in three years and we had an amazing time. We stayed in the Romance Villa Suite because we love the outdoor shower, proximity to the beach and La Jarra Beach Bar. Rodrigo our old friend and new edition Bermont are lovely people and great bartenders who always made us feel welcome and made us laugh and smile, no wonder we spent so many hours there. It is the best bar in the resort where we made n [... read more]ew friends and met up with old ones. These guys are awesome. This is also the nicest part of the beach, where the sand is soft and white and the water blue. There were always lots of beach chairs available and it’s quiet and peaceful. The sargassum was an issue but the employees worked so hard every day to remove it. The food at all restaurants was good, the meat dishes are a bit on the salty side. Our favourite was sushi, the service was fantastic at all restaurants and we weren’t frozen by the A/C this time around. Cecilio and Israel are our favorite drivers that always welcomed us with smiles and were very helpful with getting my boyfriend around who had an ankle injury and needed assistance walking. The evening entertainment in the colonial lobby was fun and we liked the mix of live bands after the show. I have to mention Hemmingways where Luis makes a wonderful mayan coffee. We love this resort and can’t wait to go back.

Grand Palladium Kantenah Resort Mayan Riviera Mexico

Resort was lovely, staff friendly and helpful. Although, I personally like a smaller resort, and one closer to the airport, this one took us over one hour to arrive, and one and one half hrs back to airport. Took me a couple of days to (sort of) find my way around. Food was plentiful, but hot food was luke warm. We (with the exception of once) ate at the buffet. I had an annoying noise in my room, which staff were finally able to rectify (not too sure what is was, but I think the air condit [... read more]ioning had something to do with it).

Terrific resort

I was impressed by the resort in general. There is a high standard of cleanliness throughout the resort and all staff were eager to help and addressed any concerns or questions quickly. The size of the resort takes a little while to get used to and to find your way around, but after that you feel very comfortable.
