Area description
The "Mayan Riviera" is the name given to the area located in the eastern extreme of the Yucatan peninsula and to the south of Cancun. An incomparable tourist destination whose main attractions are its beautiful water and white sandy beaches, the Mayan Riviera is home to the second largest coral barrier reef in the world. This area of the Mexican Caribbean, full of exotic animals, offers plenty of places to explore. Winding underground rivers that pour into beautiful cenotes (natural wells), caverns and caves and the archaeological remains of the thousand-year-old Mayan civilization that once flourished in the region amaze and delight visitors.

Great Vacation

Travelled with 7 family members including a 10 year old and young adults. All had a great time. Quality of food was great with buffet and several sit down restaurants. Pool area was nice. The resort was very clean and staff friendly. The shows at night were excellent.

Depending on which hotel group you stay, you need to take a trolley to get between restaurants or night time shows. Plan accordingly as this could add 30-45 minutes to your schedule.

Bad Bad SERVICE!!

There were problems from day one. They split up our family in different buildings.The phone in room did not work with a one year old in it. The TV did not work, the bathroom was not cleaned on day2. The rooms were not ready when we arrived or after a 3:30 lunch. This was a disaster!!! The service was as bad as it could get.! I would not recomand this place to any one.Awlful SERVICE!!!

Great time at the Grand Palladium

The Palladium complex is huge! There are 17 restaurants to choose from. The beach is big and the sand is nice and powdery - great for walking. The snorkeling right there was great. Lots of fish. There is some sandy spots for swimming and also rocky spots for snorkeling. The rooms were nice too. The staff was great, always very friendly and always willing to help. Had a wonderful week and would recommend to everyone.

Take a taxi to Akumal Beach just 3 miles away from the resort. You can snorkel and see the sea turtles. Very awesome experience.

Large resort experience.

Pros: ecological, clean, well maintained, activities, spa, departure services, entertainment, kids stay free. Cons: check in (mistakes), off shore snorkeling is poor, sea bottom - mostly rocks, coral, weeds, small sandy area for swimming, inter-lobby transport exhumes smelly fumes (may need to be electrical for the eco-resort). Average: food, restaurant wait time, cocktails, housekeeping.

Great stay for entire family!

This was our 2nd time at Grand Palladium and it did not disappoint! Everything was wonderful - we have 3 kids ages 13, 12 and 8, and they had a fantastic time! There is a teen club and a kids' club that they wanted to be at all the time! So many activities for them to do - kids' club had arts and crafts, stage productions (Grease, High School Musical, etc.), play equipment, scavenger hunts, games and more! Teen club has ping pong, computers, foosball, pool table, music, different daily activities, not to mention meeting other kids from around the world. And the staff is incredible. The resort is HUGE as it is 4 resorts in one. LOTS of walking (so bring comfy shoes), but with all the food and drink, we needed the exercise!!! The nightly shows were fantastic and very entertaining. The staff is so friendly and the food was wonderful! Something for everyone. It's going to be really hard to top this resort (IF we decide to go elsewere next year!)!!!

Be sure to catch the nightly shows - they dancers are wonderful! And the Segway tour was fun and the best way to see the whole resort - so do it at the beginning of your trip! Also, there is transportation between the resorts and to your villa, so if you've had your fill of walking, this really helps.
