Grand Palladium Vallarta: Blue skies and good food!

Great food at buffet. Good entertainment. Fantastic grounds and beach. Lots and lots of stairs. Lots of hills. Not enough beach lounge chairs. Average food at restaurants. Lovely spa. Not cheap. Greenery on grounds - beautiful.

Grand Palladium Select Costa Mujeres: Great holiday

After a not very welcoming reception experience, the rest of our stay was truly enjoyable. The people working on resort were very helpful and friendly, appreciated a tip but did not seem to base their work upon this. The beach is beautiful - fine white sand, long and felt very safe to go for a good walk. The water is warm. Lots of loungers and umbrellas at the beach and pools. No crazy games reserving chairs, which was a relief. The resort itself is large, but if you don’t feel like walking [... read more] all of it there are frequent golf carts offering rides. Entertainment each night with a variety of options. They have invested in the quality of entertainment, stage, etc. Room was large, clean and comfortable. Restaurants were great - main buffet is huge, clean and offers great variety. Lunch at the beach buffet never disappointed. Loads of choice, fresh fish to order and a lovely venue. A la cart places were all well done. .

Grand Palladium Kantenah: Extremely Disappointing

So many negatives: -5 hour transit time from plane landing to security, then luggage, then drive to hotel (only 45 mins). Hotel states to blame Air Transat, Air Transat says blame Trip Central. Even when trying to review with Trip Central they push blame advising me to call the local taxi company (a Mexican number). This entire package was suggested and supported (not) by Trip Central. -Terrible check in, 6 am flight to get to resort early and in addition to 5 hour transit time, the room w [... read more]as not ready until after 5 pm. -Impossible to book any restaurant. When a few were booked (after complaining and getting to top management), the food was poor. They wanted us to eat buffet all the time and never book a restaurant. -Many bars but line ups and only one bartender. All drinks highly watered down and poor. -Pushy for tips on every request to do anything. -Impossible to get around resort, rude drivers of shuttles on many occasions. -Can't swim in water. Poor. -9 of us went and never again with Trip Central, Air Transit or any Grand Palladium.

TRS Turquesa: Beautiful property, beach, pools and good food

This hotel is truly beautiful, the beach is great, super clean. Pools are busy, but quiet pools are so nice if you just want to relax, daybeds and palapas with lounges were always available(what a treat!) throughout the day. Food was pretty good so missed the mark. Generally good but the servers could learn a little English and just basic hospitality. Rooms were very nice, king size beds that were fairly comfortable. In general a great spot for an adult only retreat.

Grand Palladium Colonial: the grande paladium colonial resort was a huge resort which was part of 3 different resorts in one

the grounds were well maintained, the staff were very friendly it covered vast amounts of land which took long walks to cover the whole area the thai ala cart restaurant and the steak house were excellant the main buffett becalme sort of same food being served after a while breakfasts were great the beds in our room should be changed as they were creaking and well worn we were placed on the fourth floor of villa 4 as there was an error in bed assignments for 3 adults the main pool wa fan [... read more]tastic and the beach was great for long walks

TRS Cap Cana Hotel: Disappointment

Outside grounds were clean, neat & well landscaped, but the rooms are a major letdown. The resort bills itself as 5 star but the rooms are no better than 3 star at best. New mattresses and a dash of paint over past bestbefore date everything. Our 1st room had a noisy A/C fan, a bar fridge that didn't work, & a bathroom that looked worn out and dingy. For an extra $700+ we were able to upgrade somewhat(same jr. suite, but with a swim up pool). Food was generally good, with a reasonable v [... read more]ariety of dishes. Staff were very friendly, but poorly trained in alot of cases, forgetting to bring drinks, etc. My wife developed food poisoning on about the 5th day which ruined the balance of our vacation. We never left the resort, so we know the issue was on site.

Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton: Bad Service Experience

We recently travelled to Jamaica Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton resort from October 26th to October 30th, 4 night 5 days. We booked a romance villa suite ocean view (Room# 3132) because we were celebrating our 19th year wedding anniversary. We booked this room mainly because of the features of the room. The 1st issue we encountered was one of the lounge chair on our balcony was missing the cushion. We requested to get that on Sunday morning at front desk, we did not receive it so we called fr [... read more]om the room to request again. Late Monday evening we finally received one and we were able to enjoy the balcony on Tuesday which was our 4th day there. (The day before coming back home) The 2nd issue is the Jacuzzi tub in our room started leaking when it was turned on, we have a jacuzzi tub at home and we are aware of how to use it. This issue happened late Monday night as we were trying out the tub because we wanted to use it on the day of our anniversary Tuesday 29th of October. On Tuesday morning we brought it to their attention and left the room to enjoy our day. When we returned in the evening, we noticed it was not fixed. We then went to the front desk and spoke to the Customer relation manger on duty. She did offer to have someone come to look at the issue at that moment and did admit that there was a lack of communication from them and they dropped the ball in attending to the issue, but it was already late at night and because we just had a little time remaining on the day of our anniversary we didn't want to spend it with maintenance personnel or being moved to another room, At this point we only had a few hours left before returning home the next day. Unfortunately at the moment it didn't occur to us to take any pictures of the issues. Please note that flights to and from Jamaica was great and on time and so was the transfers to and from the hotel, our main issue was service and the room. The issue has been documented in the hotels system when we spoke to the Customer Relations Manager. This issue has been ongoing since October and has not been resolved.

TRS Cap Cana Hotel: Mixed feelings

We had a problem with our toilet every day, it is an older resort. The food and drink were great, and the butler was a real bonus. Especially in light of the toilet situation. Very Quiet and isolated resort. Nice of you don’t want to see other people, boring if you do.

Grand Palladium Jamaica: Grand Palladium

I do not think a resort is my style. There was a lot of walking, which at my age is not always a good idea. I had a private pool which I did not use, because the water was cold and there was no sun on my side of the building. I got tired of the buffets, not much for a fussy eater. I did not feel welcome at the resort, there is so many people that I am just another face in the crowd, and after spending the money I did, I wanted to feel special and that there would always be someone there to t [... read more]ake care of my needs. I wanted to feel like a queen. I am thankful for the time I spent here, but I would not stay at a resort again. I am planning another trip to JA, but at my place.

Grand Palladium Vallarta: 3rd time, not a charm

This was my 3rd stay at GP in PV. Upon arrival, we had to haul our bags to the desk, and then were told we had to share a bed because it was "full" so they wouldn't accommodate our request of 2 beds. (2 mature females) unless we would pay another $400CAD to upgrade-even though our travel agent said we would definitely get 2 beds- that is the ONLY reason we chose this resort and not one in town! Then, I guess because I'd been there before, we had to navigate & bring our own suitcases and bags t [... read more]o the room. My cousin is almost 70 and has bad knees, so this was NOT inviting. After 3 days of not the greatest sleep, I didn't tell my cousin, but I paid hundreds of dollars to downgrade our room just so we could get 2 beds. They used to have a zoo- it is no longer there (disappointing). The coffee that used to be great is very hit and miss whether their new machines work, and the carafe is gross coffee. The membership pitch I did (just for the palladium dollars to use at the spa) the guy was sick and kept wiping his nose and picking it the entire time. It was disgusting. the food is very good, the adult pool is nice but very warm (main pool is freezing!), most the staff is great- a few ignored us no matter how long we waited in line if there was locals they would prefer to serve. The walkway is VERY slippery and was often wet because the sprinklers were broken or pointed the wrong way. It is beautiful resort if this is your first trip and wanting to be far away from the city. All in all, not as memorable as the last 2 times I was there, and personally I would not return. It was outrageous I had to pay hundreds to get a 2nd bed that we were already promised we paid thousands for to begin with. Money talks. Even if they're 'full'.

Grand Palladium Jamaica: Many amenities and restaurants

Their are many restaurants to choose from provided you are a party of four or less people. The food was excellent except the buffet, it was just okay. The rooms are nicely decorated and very clean. The housekeeping staff are top notch. Appreciated the coffee bar, excellent coffee and pastries. The wait staff in the Al a carte restaurants were great. The spa is amazing.

TRS Turquesa: Great resort.

Arrived at the hotel after a long travel day and reception was average. Checked in, room not ready so directed us to where we could have some lunch which was at Helios. Yes they wanted us to talk to the people in green, but we said not interested, thank you and went to lunch. Yes they try to approach you as you walk through the lobby throughout our stay, but we just said no thank you. Helios lunch was ok, not much left as it was at the end of the open time. Got into our room just after lu [... read more]nch. Met our butler MIguel (and informed us there would be Cesar, Chris and Oscar that would also be around). Miguel booked our first two ala cartes then Cesar booked the rest. We were in building 52, top floor with a view of the pool and ocean from afar. The room was a good size, and very clean. Robe and slippers and well stocked fridge, as well as large bottle of water every day. Room was cleaned every day (turned down night time service as we did not need it even though it was available.) We had breakfast and lunch at Helios and Capricho. Great variety and selection of food. Overall, the restaurants provided a nice atmosphere and variety of menu options. We at at Helios (best steak and chicken) as well as dinner at Tentazione (italian - good), Kusko (definitley different food), La Adelita (mexican - really good). Cesar had booked our other ala cartes but unfortunately my husband caught a bit of a bug and we were unable to go so we hit Las Torres (the buffet restaurant - opened at 6:30) The selection of food was excellent. My husband and I had no complaints about the food at all. Bars were good however if you ask for your premium liquor they will give it to you, otherwise you get lower level liquour. When you got the good liquor, drinks were amazing. Faierny (sorry for spelling) at main bar was super nice and made our drinks to perfection. Spent time at the big pool as well as the smaller pool by the swim up rooms. All staff were friendly and accomodated when we needed something. Never had any issue with beach towels. We would put our towels on our chair by 7, go for our walk, have breakfast then sit by pool. Never spent time on beach, but it was crowded with lots of chairs. Did alot of walking on the beach. Alot of little shops and were hounded every day but we just ignored them and they left us alone. Played pickle ball a couple of mornings. Nice courts, just very hot. TRS is attached to the other Palladium hotels, which give you alot of options of restaurants, bars etc. We never had any issues getting a shuttle over or back. We were able to walk to most locations. The shops were nice over at the grand palladium. On our second last day, as I was not feeling well, Oscar was able to secure a cab for our ride to the airport the next day (as I did not want to wait for the Air Canada shuttle). He was super nice and made sure he was there in the lobby waiting to load us. It was greatly appreciated. The few issues we had related to water. Low water pressure one day for a few hours, no water for a couple of minutes the next day, and no toilet water for a few hours on another day (considering not feeling well, a bit of a problem). Went to front desk about toilet issue and all they said they've been having issues. No apologies, no we are working on it so that was disappointing. Our last night, had a huge rainstorm and found a leak in our room right next to our bed, mentioned to them the next morning on check out, again no apology. Last problem was our outside hall faced a strip of stores, and on the Sunday, music blared until 2 in the morning. Overall, considering the few issues we had, we would have no problem in returning to the resort

Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton: i love Grand Palladium Jamaica and Lady H amilton, while had chance to observe that the so called Signature operates horribly. but my main point is great work of Kateryna Mikhailiuk from tripcentral.

Grand Palladium Punta Cana: Grand Palladium Punta Cana Stya

The people at the hotel were lovely. Great guest service we personally experienced. Our rooms were clean, I would say a lot of food options. Although the a la cartes book up pretty fast. All in all a great stay.

Grand Palladium Select Bavaro: Not as expected

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. We had a leak in bathroom first day and we're here with a 9 month old on our first trip. I had to call 5 times and still the problem wasn't rectified. I had to call a 6th time and yell and swear at them to eventually get a room change. The pools and beach are all nice, but the customer service is rated at zero stars if I could rate it. We also ordered room service as with a baby it is difficult to always go out to grab food, ordered lunch and still 2 hours lat [... read more]er, nothing arrived to the room. We have been on multiple all inclusive resorts, and this has by far been the worst experience ever in terms of customer service. I expected much more from this resort.

Grand Palladium Palace: Not a bad resort ...

Resort was too big for our liking.. first day curtain rod fell on my forehead and nobody fixed it the entire time we were there .... if you want peace stay away from the guys in greenish / turquoise shirts... they lie saying you are all family free spa , free massage etc, but they are on a mission to sell timeshare.....

Grand Palladium Select Bavaro: Outstanding!

My wife and I stayed here for 2 weeks. The hotel grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The beach was amazing and the service second to none. The buffet restaurant and food in general was very good! Lots of selection and high quality.

Grand Palladium Jamaica: Good Not Great

Staff were awesome. Room was really nice but our air conditioning wasn't working properly (26-27 degrees), they said it was resolved, it wasn't. Food was alright, beach was okay, pool was great. I think the reviews are skewed, they had people come around to scan a qr code to leave a review. I wouldn't return but all in all it was a nice resort.

Grand Palladium Palace: Such a nice relaxing vacation!

My husband and I had such a great time at the Grand Palladium Palace, part of three hotels of grand palladium. Therefore lots of walking around, got lots of steps in but towards the end we used the trains a couple times. I do find I prefer a smaller, more quaint resort where you don't have to walk 20 minutes to a restaurant in heels, we found we had to walk to the Bavaro one quite a bit. Anyway the a la cartes are nothing to write home about, the buffets were pretty decent. Room was great, bed w [... read more]as comfy, no issues with the AC. Tried room service once, didn't find it anything special. But what you go for is the Ocean and it was amazing and a beautiful turquoise color, very inviting, we were in there a lot! Never stepped into any of the pools though, sometimes a few loud kids and loud music, much preferred the quiet beach area. Always lots of beach chairs available.

TRS Yucatan: Amazing Resort

I absolutely loved Trs yucatan the staff were fantastic food was great and the resort itself was gorgeous My butlers were fantastic very helpful and informative I loved the daily activities at the pool area and the pop team were fun and exciting can’t wait to go back
