We just got back 2 days ago from staying here for 7 days 6 nights. It was absolutely fantastic. We are a family of 5 (kids are 11, 8, and 18 months). The weather was perfect upper 80s all week and only one afternoon of rain which lasted only about 2 hrs. The hotel was gorgeous. Lots of water and... More

We returned today after another 2 weeks at the colonial. Again we had a great time, the food, drinks and staff are great. We managed to use the ala cartes 13 nights out of 14, and we walked straight in at 7.30 and a table was available most times. Entertainment staff and shows even better that the last visit, well...

We stayed at this hotel in beginning of May, overall this hotel was just average! We have been to many AI in Mexico, and this one just doesn't stand out as a 5 star! The only thing this hotel has going for it now is the great beach, but that's about all. They do not have beach service so if... More

I traveled to the Grand Palladium Colonial Resort with my friend from April 23-30, 2013. We arrived at the resort around noon with a large group of people, but the front desk seemed prepared for the large inflow so check in was pretty quick. Unfortunately, our room was not going to be ready till 3PM so we couldn’t get settled,... More

This hotel is huge, and has a lot to offer. Lots of family entertainment and couples entertainment as well. We stayed for a week and didn't make it to all the hotels. Its along the beach which is very nice. The staff here are mostly used to receiving tips, and didn't show much appreciation. But don't let that stop you... More

The hotel is huge, and that's amazing, although it makes getting from one place to another hard or time consuming. If you're traveling in a large group it can be hard to get together with everyone. I went there for a friends wedding and to my opinion the hotel should have made a bigger effort to accomodate our rooms in... 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
