This place is a must. Great food all around, very neat premises, great service Great service. I had forgotten one pill (diabetes), and customer service got my missing pill in 90 minutes to my room……..

Our Stay The resort was beautiful from the minute you drove through the gates. The grounds were spotless with every tree trimmed perfectly and a super modern designed lobby. The entire staff treated us fantastic all so friendly . The carts were plentiful to take us around the resort as well it was fun going on the boats to some destinations. The room was spectacular. I was a bit nervous about the open view to the bathroom but they had a full remote controlled blind so it was totally private. Never had any problems with hot water, bar always filled. The beds were very comfortable. All of the restaurants and the buffet had ample selections and the food was great. The beach had the softest white sand the waves were a bit rough some days but a great beach. It was one of the nicest vacations I have ever had. I would recommend that hotel to everyone would love to go back again for two weeks this time. We were a group of 5 and all like to dance and drink and have a good time even though we are older still love having fun.

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 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. .

This resort was amazing!! Having travelled to numerous resorts over the last 20 years (25+ trips) this resort has figured it out. There is designated areas for families, adults (no kids) and club members, each having their own little resort inside the Grandpalladium complex. They have a lot of the restaurants, coffee shops, sports bar, sky bar and theatre all in the same vicinity calling it the village, this is also great as there is a nice atmosphere in the evenings for people to enjoy. All restaurants I ate at were very good, anyone complaining about the food must have crazy expectations. I would recommend this resort to anyone. I will be back for numerous holidays.

To start with when we arrived in our room it smelled like mould and mildew, the tables had actual crud stuck on them, thankfully I brought lysol wipes and was able to clean them. The cupboard door to access the fridge was off the hinge and falling apart. The bathroom shower had mould all along the floor at the bottom of the glass. The tap handle on the sink was about to fall apart. Our fridge was not stocked even though I asked it to be a few times until our last full day there. The grounds were kept nice however we had heard of several thefts that had taken place at the hands of staff members. The food was not too our liking at all.

Everything was amazing at the resort minus the last day when I was leaving. I was five Minutes late which was my fault to meet my bus transport to the airport and when I came downstairs no one informed me who the bus driver was. I was outside next to the driver and he wouldn’t even speak with me. He ignored Me and took some pictures and left. This made me very upset. Anyway I asked the bell boy to arrange private transportation and the transportation cost me $147 US dollars. Unbeknownst to them, I saw the driver give money To the bellboy for a referral I guess that I technically paid for. It’s really unprofessional to trust a high end resort to arrange something for you and you become a victim of this scheme. Anyway the fault was Mine but to top it all off, the nexus transportation company when contacted said the driver was late picking us up about 15 minutes. When I advised the lady that driver came and left “no show up notice” she was shocked and told me that the driver has to contact them for no shows but he never did. She even tried to get me to triple check to see if my info was on the “no show notice” because she was shocked about this situation. Anyway it left a really bad taste with me and made me feel the whole thing was a setup.

Really nicely designed and spacious property. Never felt too crowded, easily able to get spots by the pool and beach Beach is windy and constant waves, some seaweed that they try to clean up each day Food is meh everywhere, best thing i had was fish on the grill We had perfect weather Jan 15-22, 2023 and that was the main attraction The pool by the Fizz bar was a nice spot

Room was comfortable, Amenities were wonderful Staff friendly and helpful Grounds were beautiful Food in buffet was OK A la carte restaurants were good Lots of loungers available at pools and beach Beach area was great

I will be giving our detailed review, it's a bit long but I believe it could be helpful! :) We went 8 days in May 2022 and stayed at Grand Palladium The Resort and our experience was overall pretty amazing. The premises are new since resort was built in 2018 if I'm not mistaken and there is constant maintenance happening. ROOM: Our room was really nice, we got the junior suite with garden view , very spacious, nice closet, with hair drier, jacuzzi bath tub, shower, seating area, couch, TV with movies and room service menu ,king bed, balcony with 2 chairs and a table to spend some time outside. we didn't care much for the view since we spent most time outside the room, if you pay a bit more you get a better view. Room had good AC, they refill your fridge everyday at no extra cost. The only complaint we had of the room is that they gave us an interconnected room , where you could hear EVERYTHING, and on the other side was a big family ( we also have kids we know and understand, BUT we wanted some quiet time ), at the front desk they were very understanding, helpful and gave us a different room at no cost and no hassle. Also be aware the floors in all rooms are tile, EXTREMELLY slippery so wear slippers at all times, especially coming out of shower. POOL: --The Main pool was great, spacious and always had shade for us, It has one bar inside the water and one outside, both were great as well with great service ,the staff around the pool were always asking if we needed anything. There is a small buffet by the pool with finger foods, which is very helpful since the 2 main buffets available at the resort are far from the pool. BEACH: --The Beach is Beautiful, only a TINY bit of seaweed, ocean was a bit aggressive because there had been a few storms the days before, we were told the ocean its pretty calm otherwise, but we still went into water and enjoyed it. A bit harder to get a chair with shade unless you go early in morning I'm guessing .its a pretty long beach, you can walk either way and get your steps in lol and it also had a little spot with some finger food or one of the main buffets is by the pool so no problem there. MOVING AROUND RESORT : The resort its PRETTY big! they have golf carts with drivers running around all day all over the resort, starting at 7 am to drive people around. You just hop in, ask where you want to go and they take you anywhere, but there were none running late at night after 11PM I would say. I like walking and after a few days figured our way around the resort. FOOD : --They have 2 main buffets. both have different schedules: one by the beach with less selection of food and less seating space ( but useful if you spend the day at the beach), and the other buffet is by the Lobby ( so both are in opposite places of resort ) , LOTS of food selection in my opinion and more seating space then in the one by beach, never had to wait to get my food or to be seated .Both have chefs cooking the food as you ask it so pretty fresh and also food that is already cooked. There is another small buffet by the pool, with burgers, hotdogs and finger foods. --There is many a la carte restaurants, only went to the Italian and Japanese and both were great ,and heard all the other ones were good as well. ( just recommend to do the reservations as soon as you get your room number especially for the Japanese Teppanyaki tables as they book REALLY fast ) --And there is a "sports bar" that is open 24/7 for the late food cravings in the "village mall" with a nice vibe , with foosball tables and pool tables. ADULTS ONLY/FAMILY SELECTION --Inside of the same resort they have TRS section, its adults only with their own pool and special services, and then family selection with their own pool as well and different accommodations for families, if you book your room at Grand Palladium you WILL NOT have access to all those specific areas, so something to consider. 'VILLAGE MALL" --They have the "village mall" inside the resort , with a few shops and that's where all the a la cart restaurants are located, the theater is also there where all the night shows ( different theme every night with dancers) for kids and other shows happen, and also they have an "open sky" bar where a DJ comes after 10 PM if you want to dance and enjoy until 1 AM. SPA -- We went to the spa to get a couples massages and use the hydrotherapy pools and it was a really good and relaxing experience as well! (we got a coupon otherwise its pretty expensive) we would totally recommend it! TOURS they offer many different tours, with different companies, so there are many options to choose from. We went to "Isla Mujeres" , had a blast but suffered from what we and the Doctor think of Heat Exhaustion after the trip on the boat, but still managed to enjoy the rest of my stay as much as possible! NOW THE ONLY recommendations I would have for the Resort, would be : - to provide an Optional Full TOUR of the resort once you arrive since most of the time you have to wait anyway for your room (which I've had in other resorts) where they could show you the premises, restaurants everything else to do, where to go eat etc, and also what NOT to do , what might be common sense to some common travelers it's not for people who don't travel often and want to take advantage of every second you have on vacation! It might be helpful to know to take breaks during the day from the heat and sun to avoid heat exhaustion ( actually I did get sick myself with heat exhaustion and spoke with other people at the resort suffering from the same) ,saw some pretty bad sunburns and quit a few poor little kids sick and upset from all the sun exposure and tropical heat. They have a doctor on site but again if the resort provided a WELCOME tour with all the info necessary to enjoy the resort and avoid getting sick it could save travelers time and money! -Also if the resort could allow early check in , even if it would have an extra fee, we had to waited 5 hours to get our room, 5 wasted hours without a welcome tour so didn't know what to do, where to go and also we were really tired since our flight journey started at 2 Am, so we asked and there was no option of early check in not even at an extra cost, something we would probably have paid and we saw a LOT of people hanging by the lobby for many hours since their flights were early as well and didn't know what to do, so early check in should be an option. -- I also believe the Resort as of now is short staffed , so we were told by some nice workers from the resort, so some services by the pool and other places may be a bit slow but the service was amazing from our experience! We would Totally recommend this resort to others and hope to go back to Mexico!

The hotel was beautiful the grounds were very well-kept we upgraded to the family selection which provided access to the all adult side of the resort the TRS coral in my opinion this was a very worthwhile upgrade I’m not sure that we would’ve been completely content without having this extended access. overall this was a lovely resort the service was definitely hit and miss some wonderful service and some not so great attention. Cesar at La Bohème was amazing same with Enrique at the pool bar at the TRS and the guys at the family selection nest breakfast amazing. Food was also good but not great and was hit and miss. Super clean rooms but spotty service for housekeeping and replenishing towels and toiletries. But very very clean rooms. Overall I would return but only to family selection or TRS

the Grand Palladium is a beautiful clean and modern hotel, excellent pools, great service with extremely friendly staff The food is good but for me not 5 star, the buffets have no variety, each night and lunch is exactly the same, a lot of things do run out early and they don't seem to replenish The a la carte restaurants are excellent

While this hotel still has growing pains to settle, overall we had a great experience. ROOMS: amazing! We were in a loft suite and this was a game changer with a baby. We knew we would be spending allot of time there so having the 2 floors meant we could still enjoy the room while the baby was sleeping. Only things that could have made it better are 24hr room service and a room with an oceanview (assigned at random). FOOD/ DRINKS: best part was definitely the coffee shop! A new must when picking resorts. The indian restaurant was a favorite as well. 24hr room service would have been useful when arriving late in the evening . The resport is really big, takeout wasn’t an option and we had a baby that needed to sleep. This lack of flexibility was super inconvenient. BEACH was good, never a problem getting chairs, waiter service was good as well. POOLS: baby loved the kids pool. It was the perfect size for her and she enjoyed the different jets. Water was warm as well. The beach pool was nice, quiet and warm. It was a nice depth as well. Again, good waiter service. Lots of chairs. SPA treatments were good and the healthy bar has good smoothies. OVERALL: we enjoyed the resort. It was new, clean, great personable staff. We did find the service quite inconsistent, at times rigid and a lack of communication amongst staff. For example, sometimes we could bring our stroller on the boat, sometimes not, laundry wasn’t picked up (night staff hadn’t communicated), we weren’t given the imperial club perks until we asked and even then, we were told diff things as to how to apply them. When we arrived just after after 11pm with a young child they told us of we wanted to eat we had to walk or take the golf cart 10 mins away for a sit down meal. No room service, no snacks and no takeout. Seemed very rigid. We were also promised a room change on day 3 when it was available but it was then given to someone else. The boat and golf cart services were also not reliable and consistent. Some nights there were mosquitoes so bug spray is useful. These were all pretty minor inconveniences but meant we spent more time at reception than we wanted. Overall, great resort!

The food was good, sometimes very good. I was particularly impressed by how much attention you pay to peoples' food allergies. Very good. For me, who is gluten-free and dairy-free, I was very grateful. It is rare to find the kind of sensitivity you show all your food and dining areas, even by and large, in the dinner restaurants in The Village, I believe it is called. However, I was very distressed at the level of noise in our room, 1305 as I recall. Better check, I think that was it. We had a patio that was very close to the basketball area and dancing lessons and other events that were accompanied by very loud music. If you want to have a nice nap toward the end of the day, forget it. Even sitting outside getting some sun was difficult. Yes, we could close the door. That diminished it somewhat, but it was still loud and offensive. on one of the days, i called the main desk to plead for it to be turned down. several times i called for that reason. TOO LOUD!!!!! but to no avail. They could just ask the ones doing the lessons to turn it down, it seems to me. ! the yoga teacher turned it down. she didn't want that blaring stuff around her people who found it stressful and ugly.

We really enjoy our stay. Even though, the weather was sometimes rainy right before winter holidays. There were always what to do for kids and for adults. Transportation to the restaurants was well organized for travellers who did not want to take a walk ( about 10min max). Me and my husband preferred to take advantage of the beautiful paths and my daughter of 20 with her friends always enjoyed the boat or golf cart ride. Food had a large variety and entertainment as well.

We just got back from a one week vacation at the Family Selection Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres! Our 2-Storey room was simply gorgeous, clean and spacious! All the staff were authentically caring, fore coming and friendly! Service on the beach was quick and Ruby and Michael spoiled us all day long. Michelle and Fernanda, our concierges, could not have done a better job! They are exceptional! We felt that the resort is well organized and that the staff are happy and proud to work for the GP group! Highly recommend this hotel! 5 stars

Hi and thanks for contacting us...actually our stay at GP was a complete dissspointment: the service was poor, I was full of mosquito bites every single day, no entertainment on the beach or pool site, when i complained about mosquitos the customer service rep sent me to the pharmacy to buy a remedy I will never consider this resort ever again. They used Rafael Nadal name to dub it a 5 star resort...far from that!!

We went for 7 days to Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres. It was non day we can complain. Beautiful, nice design, modern place with plenty of restaurants a la carte, where we never had to book the seats, just "show and go". Food for every diet: meat eaters, vegetarians, vegans, plenty different kind of fresh , prepared in many ways fish, sea food, veggies, fruits. Amazing entertainment well prepared, nice arrangement, costumes, lights, sound. All day open coffee shop with nice tasty pastry and coffee in many ways. All day activities organized by staff ( yoga, pilates, soccer, volleyball ect...) Pools for every one, for kids, for adult only. You can get every were by foot, go-cart, or...boat, because it is long nice canal, where during night is water show. Problem is in the sports bar, if you want to change channel, even nobody is watching, you not allowed to watched important games if is not on it. Rooms nice, big, but clean very late even after 4pm. Very nice polite staff, wiling to help you with every thing...(very good experience with Luis).

The resort was quite beautiful & breath taking, staff were very friendly and welcoming, helpful, especially lobby bar Jorge Luis, Francisco & bellboy Ulises. The buffet and restaurant were able to accommodate all allergies.the managers at the buffet and restaurant went above and beyond for my allergies. The spa treatments and facilities/pools were amazing. Drinks were always cold. Highly recommend the Mango Margarita. The beach and ocean was clean. Had wonderful pools and bars at each pool. The taxi carts are quite helpful for getting around the resort and came by frequently. The village had a 24hr sports bar, they had games, pool and foosball tables, xbox, and more. Nice gift shops. Had free different entertainment shows main stage in the village at the resort every night. The only two things that could need to be improved was the rooms had too much moisture it affected our cell phones and everything was damp and have coca-cola products as well

The hotel was amazing. The rooms were very clean and quite large. The bathroom is quite big and the soaker tub was so relaxing. Clara kept our rooms clean. The Italian restaurant was our number one choice for a la carte and the steakhouse was our second choice. We did not enjoy the Mexican restaurant. The kids club came in so handy for us as we have a 6yr old daughter and 21mth old son. It was the first time I left my son with a sitter and Gloria was very patient with my lil guy as he is a handful. Our 6 year old loved the activities and enjoyed going for lunch with the other kids. She especially loved the huge pool and both kids enjoyed the kids pool with the slides. Ulises our bell man is amazing he took very good care of us and made sure we got to our room safely and picked us up on time to take the taxi back to the airport. The Poseidon buffet is across from the beach and the seafood was really good but I especially enjoyed the fresh stir fry made for you. There was plenty entertainment for the kids and adults and the stores are quite nice. The staff at the Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres resort is who made our vacation so amazing. They are all so polite and don’t ever pass you straight. They ensure to say Hola or Beunos Dias no matter who they are. We will definitely go back as we missed it the second we left!!! Can’t wait for our next vacation!

Amazing deal in new and amazing resort , great food and service.rooms were excellent and almost everything was included, good drinks and variety you cannot ran out of options.the resort is definitely one of the most luxurious one in Cancún. Learning some Spanish will be helpful

This hotel is new and absolutely stunning. However, it was not designed for the average person to safely get around. Lights on the walkway at night reflected right into your eyes. Steps were not clearly marked and were the same material and colour making it easy to miss your footing. There was no shade. You need to walk through buildings just to get relief from the sun. Very quiet hotel and felt much like a ghost town.

It was ok, the people on the beach were very rude. We had a baby and would ask for an umbrella, and they would say they have no more. I think you kept ur hand in ur pocket, they might help you out. I wasn't impressed..

My wife, two children and myself were just amazed at the brilliance of the Grand Palladium! Every facet of the resort exceed our every expectation! We were in a loft suite in the Family Selection and we cannot recommend this area enough. From the private check in, to the 24 hour Family Host, and the overly attentive staff at every turn, we were felt to be special, unique individuals within a very large resort. Our Family Hosts Abagail and Andrea greeted us (and especially my children) so warmly at every turn, we felt like a part of their family! My son was over the moon, when they brought us an XBox to our room for the week! As well, Monse adopted our 2 year old daughter, and treated her like a princess! Her nails have never looked so good! She took such good care of our children! The resort was fantastic! The shuttle and boat service was amazing! We never had to wait more than a minute or two to be taken to our destination. On the few times we chose to walk to the Village (or home to our room on the beach) it was such a serene and pleasant trip. The restaurants were awesome! All of the A la Carte’s had a kids menu as well, so we all could thoroughly enjoy our meals (and my wife and kids enjoyed the “fire coffee” show in the Mexican restaurant!). But by far, we loved the coffee shop the most! Red velvet cake every day! My son was in heaven! Strongest recommendation for the resort, and in particular, the Family Selection! We can’t wait to return!

We stayed at the Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres from March 12-19, 2019 with our two kids (5 and 7) and had a wonderful time. The resort is brand new, beautiful, clean and has modern amenities. The rooms are large, well equipped and no need to worry about a room key as your access wristband serves as your key. There is reliable wifi throughout the resort, which can be both a positive and a negative for obvious reasons. The resort is quite large, so depending on your room location, certain areas of the resort can require a 5-10 min walk. We were happy to walk, but others should be aware there is both a cart path and a canal transport to move around the resort if needed and you are willing to wait for an available ride. The grounds are well-maintained and will be even more impressive as they further develop. For those not staying at TRS or in the Family Selection section, there is access to 2 pools and the splash pad, Our kids loved them all, with lots of activities at the main pool and the beach pool is particularly impressive looking with beach access nearby. Service was wonderful at all of the pools, with friendly staff always available. There are restricted access areas such as the pool on the TRS (adults only) side of the resort, the Family Selection pool and the travel club members pool - this is unfortunately the most visually appealing pool and the one you will see featured most prominently in photos of the resort. It would be preferred if these areas were open to all guests, but as long as you are aware of the restrictions when purchasing your package, it is not an issue as there are lots of other great areas on the resort. There was no shortage of seating near the pools, but the staff is also good at collecting towels to prevent guests from reserving seats while they are not actually at the pool areas. The beach area is excellent, with the resort having left the natural growth on the beach intact. The water is clear, with no red flag days for our entire visit. The water does get deep fairly quickly, so parents should be aware of this. Costa Mujeres is expanding rapidly, so you can see several resorts under construction in the distance, but it is still quite beautiful and very safe to take a long walk down the beach past the other resorts and undeveloped areas. There is bar service on the beach, but during our stay it was generally under-served so it is advisable to grab towels and drinks on the way to the beach. The food was generally very good during our stay, with us eating at the main buffet for breakfasts, the beach restaurant for lunches and the a la carte restaurants for dinner each night. All a la carte restaurants as well as the coffee shop/cake bar, sports bar, sky bar and theatre are located in the "village" area, which is definitely a highlight of the resort. The village area is located at the front of the resort and combines a cobblestone street, open air patios, restaurants and the theatre to create a hub of activity. During our stay, we understood the resort was running at 75% capacity and it was clear they were still learning their way in the restaurants as they were staffed accordingly. The food was generally very good, with the steakhouse, thai and mexican restaurants being our favourites. No reservations are required for the restaurants (with the only exception being the teppanyaki bar), so there was a wait for tables in some cases of up to 45 min. There was no shortage of space at the bar during the wait, but in some cases up to 1/3 of the tables were empty despite the wait list. This will undoubtedly improve over time, but people should be aware of this as the resort is still in its beginnings. In all instances, staff were polite and accommodating throughout the resort. There were lots of options for entertainment, with activities at the pools, games areas, theatre shows and beach shows in the evening (fire show, pirate show). Overall, we were very satisfied with our trip to Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres. There are areas where the resort is still working things out, but that is also reflected in the pricing as compared to similar established 5 star resorts in the area. We would definitely consider returning in the future and would recommend this hotel to others.

The resort is brand new and the property and rooms are beautiful. We had an ocean front loft suite and absolutely loved it. There were a few kinks, our roof sprung an air conditioning leak two times resulting in a small flood each time. But repair each time was very quick and caused minimal inconvenience. The food was great and there was lots to choose from. The beach is gorgeous and offers great swimming. We stayed in family selection and enjoyed being close to the beach, having a restaurant in our building, the beach restaurant for lunch right next door, a family selection pool with a great restaurant as well. The boats to get around in were lovely. We had some adult time at the TRS pool when the kids checked out the kids club which was also beautiful. The beachfront pool was also amazing. My only complaint was that it was tough to figure out who to talk to when trying to sort reservations and getting bottles of wine. We met our family host at check in and then couldn’t figure out how to talk to the right person after that. We would go to the front desk at FS and were told they would leave a note but that rarely worked. It would be highly recommend to make this process much easier. We also found the large buffet La Isla disappointing with few options and only dined there once. All in all we had an incredible week and left feeling super relaxed!

The resort was well kept. All the staff were over friendly. Food was above average. We would definitely go back. Great for the kids. The river with the electric boats to take you around different spots of the resort is a unique great idea. Just need a few more boats.

My wife and I enjoy playing tennis on a regular basis and the Rafa Nadal tennis center located in the resort was our main reason for booking it. We were not disappointed by the quality of their adult tennis programs. The staff at the tennis academy did a fantastic job running the Total Tennis adult program and provided many valuable training drills, strategies and tips during our five days program to help us improve our game. With regard to the resort, the hotel and grounds are beautiful, the food is good but not as good as other resort we have visited in the past. Food selection was the same during our 7 night stay. Staff service was great and the Beach is nice and powdery sand. This hotel has three categories TRS, GP and Family. If you stay at the GP section, be prepared to get rejected a few times during your stay. For example: GP guest will wait 30 minutes or more at a la carte restaurants because the GP section cannot make reservations for a la carte restaurants. On the other hand TRS and Family section can make reservation and get a table without waiting. Transportation within the resort is also divided. There are TRS golf carts and GP golf cart. TRS guest are able to use TRS and GP carts but GP guest can only use GP carts.

The Grand Palladium at Costa Mujeres was beautiful with friendly and helpful staff. The rooms were amazing. The resort is new with a few safety issues like no hand railings on stairways and steps on the outside areas not well lit. The entire resort was clean with a Happy atmosphere.

Beautiful resort, we loved our room in building #15. Food was ok, Thai restaurant being the best, the Mexican being the worst. If you are looking for a shiny new resort and plenty of exercise getting around this one is for you.

Everything, Food, Entertainment, Beach were a long distance from one another. No nightlife, no bars, no atmosphere- nothing to do as weather was just terrible. Golf carts needed to get to places were in very short supply, especially when it was raining and had to wait around for one to pass - usually full. Beach restaurant and/or bathrooms too far away from beach area that was very crowed. Beach was very nice though, but had to be there quite early to obtain chairs and umbrellas. Supposedly "Quite Pool" had many crying and loud children. The wait staff, especially Carlos, was very good and attentive. The Poseidon Beach Buffet restaurant was okay, but food choices limited and in short supply. Fuentes one of the wait staff was very good. The rooms were spacious and English T.V. Channels were available. If you took a room on the ground level, it was like grand central station with everyone passing your balcony area to get to he beach or restaurant. "The Village" restaurants were excellent and would recommend, altough getting to the Village you had again to rely on transportation there and back. In very short supply after 9:00 p.m. I would not choose this resort again. It was brand new, open just over 2 months previous, and not a full capacity. I am sot sure what it would have been like if full.

This hotel is great! Very big! Food is excellent...friendly staff our weather was not the greatest but made best of it..there are few kinks to iron out as its a new resort.. quite large but they have gold carts to take you around

Loved everything about this resort. Food, drinks, service, rooms, pools, beach everything was top of the line. Better technology then any other resort! Best vacation 10/10 I would go back in a heart beat!

My husband and I stayed at the Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary from December 30-January 9, 2019. We were somewhat disappointed that our only option for our anniversary dinner(which actually was December 31) was the buffet! The hotel did not let us book any other restaurant because it was New Years Eve and those reservations were given priority to TRS(adult only side),Family Selection and Palladium Travel Club. They knew it was our 20th anniversary, yet they did not do anything extra to make our day special. On top of that, we got swarmed by the Travel Club employees and convinced to take a tour and sit through a presentation on the morning of our anniversary! We were also promised things for attending the presentation that we were never given. What a waste of time! We were promised a couple of nights in the TRS side or at a minimum, changing our bracelets so that we could access the TRS facilities during our stay. Never happened. Although the resort is beautiful, it does not have an adult only pool available on the Grand Palladium side. There are too many levels of privilege there. At the beach we were all crammed into one section while the TRS and Travel Club and Family Selection had there own roped off section which was usually less that half full. Although our room was well appointed, there were a few things...it had a beautiful tub but the water going into it was luke warm at best. ☹️ The shower was awesome! Very large and an abundance of hot water! 😊 The beds looked way more comfortable then they actually were. ☹️ I like that they had carpet in the halls on each floor to reduce the noise of other guests coming and going. 😊 The large pool was nice but often there was music/bands playing at the same time which was very irritating particularly when you’re trying to enjoy a good book! ☹️ Daniel the waiter at the pool was amazing!😁 as well as Juan at the Indian restaurant!😁 It is a very large resort so be prepared to do a lot of walking! There are carts to drive guests but not always available when you are. We didn’t mind the walking. There are also boat taxis there too!😊 We went to the a la cart restaurants every night(except our anniversary of course☹️) without a reservation and had no trouble getting a table. The longest wait was 30 minutes. All were very good. We did the Italian, Mexican, Thai, Japanese, Steak House and Indian. The last two we went to more than once. 😀 We stayed in building 15 on the top floor. Room 15405. Nice view except for the construction! ☹️ If you ask for an even number you will face the pool. By the way, you don’t have to return a towel to get a new towel there for the pools/beach. Unfortunately the down side is guests just leave them on there chairs which maks it difficult when you are looking for a place to sit by the pool/beach. Hint: If there are no personal belongings with those towels on the chairs, it’s available! If we were ever to go back to this hotel, we would only go to the TRS side.

Loved staying at this resort. Best food we have ever had at a resort and we travel a lot. Loved all the areas to eat, drink and relax. Lots of lounge chairs, me e had a hard time finding a spot. Rooms are spacious and loved the huge bathroom

We just returned from a 7 days stay at this large resort 12/20-12/27, 2018 . Be prepared to walk to get to just about anywhere from your room. The best part of this resort are the restaurants in the Village Area of the grounds. We stayed in Bldg. 16 which is the main Grand Palladium Tower (4 stories), Main Lobby, Lobby Bar and Buffet all on the ground floor. My wife and I were in room 16229 (King Bed) and our adult children in 16430 (2 Dbl. Beds). Large suites, well appointed and decorated both had Courtyard Views with plenty of sun shine. The most notable part of this resort were it's Restaurants. The service was great as was the menu offered, standard al ecarte service; do not expect BIG PORTIONS. All the restaurants serviced a very elegant plate, well presented and tasteful. If you really like to eat big portions go to the Buffet, the food there is just a good as what is available at the Village Restaurants. Only one place for Breakfast and that is at the Buffet in the main Bldg.; long waiting time to be seated if you are not an early riser. The TRS Hotel also on the same property have their own restaurants; guest there can also use the ones in the Village and they can also book reservations to all restaurants. Those guest in the Palladium wings are only allowed to make reservation to the Japanese Restaurant the rest are a first come first serve. Shuttles both land and water are at times necessary to use regardless of the building that you are in. The grounds are not designed for guest that have mobility issues. Very few ramps if any to get over steps etc. In the evening the grounds are not very well lit. The Main Pool really needs a second bar and toilet facilities opposite the existing Swim-up bar. The back of the house (that's the part as guest we do not see) needs to be more attentive to the details when it comes to cleanliness of plates and cups, utensils and linens. Nothing worse than finding lip stick stains on your cup, stained utensils and plate settings. This resort is new, opened in November 2018. I can understand that it is going through it's growing pain stages and I trust that things will improve as it matures. Give The Grand Palladium Costa Mujures a couple of years to have a real Paradise feel. Workers continue to finish walkways, landscaping, hardscape (paths) etc... to the grounds and Bldgs. The over-all finish to the resorts appears to have been rushed to make the grand opening date.

We had a wonderful vacation here! Beautiful resort, great customer service, variety of restaurants ,good quality food there are some unfinished details, but it never bothered our vacation here. We will be back!!!

The facilities in the very first room allocated had lot of complications . No telephone, flooded washrooms prevented us from having a shower throughout stay in first two days.The ground transport in the resort is ineffective, gave us lots of hardships for us to move in the resort.

This resort is state of the art totally awesome great staff Eric the lobby bartender was the best I ever seen remembered your name drink was kick ass Carlose at the pool was kick ass and deserves a raise I will return Steve Lee

What a beautiful resort. Lots of restaurants on the grounds. The main buffet was fabulous, with so much variety. The staff were all so nice and courteous. Lots of things to do, pool area is huge and a special children's area. Live shows each evening, and bands playing good tunes in the sports bar and pool side. This resort is awesome for all ages. There were 19 family members that were with us, ages 16 - 72. We all had such a good time ! I would definitely go again.

The resort just opened (partially) so it is going through some growing pains. The resort itself is very modern, rooms are very comfortable and clean and the staff are friendly and helpful. Food was good but not special and not all the restaurants were open. The beach and pools were really good but the grounds need some maturing. Overall it is not quite at the 5 star level yet, but it does have the capability of reaching that level over the next year.
