My husband and I travelled Nov 7-14, 2009 with our two teenage boys to the Palladium. We were in building #1 which is one of the older buildings. We had an ocean view as most rooms do. The room was large and clean. Beds were old but comfortable. Pillows lumpy. Safes in room are small and use your code vs... more

Checked in to Building 2, no upgrade offered and if this was the only place to stay, would have left the next day. Checked the next morning and we were told about the Royal. It is like leaving the bus station and arriving at a SPA...well worth it. Much smaller and adult only, with bonus of prebooking at the restaurants... more

We stayed at Palladium from Nov 8 - 15 2009 with my husband, 2yrs old daughter, and two other family with 2 kids age 5 and 9, total 8 people. I did not expect much from this resort since we got a very good deal. We paid airfare only for our daughter since under 12yrs old eat and stay free.... more

The kids were happy getting knocked over by the waves in the ocean, swimming in the pool and snorkelling in the ocean pool. You can surf on the beach right outside the hotel, so my husband and I each spent an hour or so surfing every day we were there. I have never been on a cruise but think the... more

Stayed for one week in November with a big group of family for a wedding. First of all I want to say I'm not one of those hoity toity travel snobs that unless they are treated like royalty aren't happy. To make me happy I need a clean room and good service. Wedding itself: Beautiful! Absolutely gorgeous photos. Stunning location.... more

I had read quite a few reviews before we came here and was not sure what to expect, but let me break it down: Good: Pools were nice, esp. the adult only ones. We upgraded to the Royal Suites which was well worth it!!!! The rooms are a lot bigger, it is way quieter and the pool/beach are awesome. The... more

The hotel, unless you are in a royal junior suite (in building 3) or upgrade to the 'royal suites' (building 5) you will be shocked that this is a 4-4 1/2 star resort. The first room we were in was directly beside the kids pool with loud, disco music starting at 9am, the foam on the bed was exposed because... more

I just returned from this resort after 7 days, 5 of which there was about 60% children 40% Adults and that included at 12 midnight in the disco! For the first 5 days there were two ppl not of Mexican decent in the resort and we were them. We were disrespected and over charged by everyone we spoke to and... more
