The one of the reasons why that we chosen this hotel was kids pool and it was closed for renovation. No info on website or from the resort before our arrival. Not much to do for kids except kids club. Resort was very clean and well kept - it could use few upgrades but it was good for the price - everyone was very nice and friendly. There was only 4-5 restaurants open so dinning chooses were disappointing. Overall there are better places.
Great staff
An EXTREMELY LARGE property with many amenities. Beaches are a bit rocky. Mosquitoes in the evening are relentless! The property is beautiful and the staff is nice.
They did a great job of removing the sargassum ( green gunk) from the beach. I was so worried before we went but it was everything I had hoped for.
I booked an "Ocean Front Suite" However, the Ocean is not visible from the suit. I believe this is very misleading advertising. The suit is very nice and spacious.
Staff were friendly and the food and service was excellently
The staff at this resort are incredibly courteous and accommodating. The food and beverage director and staff really went out of their way to help with our large family of 22 dinner reservations the entire week we were there. Food variety, large family and adult pools nightly entertainment made it really easy to just relax. The golf carts running so frequently around resort made it easy to get around. Traveling during Covid was challenging in that not all services and amenities were open but overall I would go back.
Very old and outdated rooms Food is just ok Bartenders can’t make a decent drink Resort is tired Party music blasting until midnight Beach is unusable (stinks) Closed restaurant down because of smell
Quite honestly, I can say enough about how amazing this resort is! Upon arrival we were greeted by the front desk staff (Wigberto) who provided us with a complimentary upgrade to the TRS, as we were celebrating our 1 year anniversary. We had access to all of the resorts, and the level of exceptional service was the same throughout. Simply amazing. Our butler at the TRS - Erick - was more than we could have asked for. He took care of everything, from dinner reservations, suggestions for our anniversary, transportation arrangements, and even surprised us with champagne on our anniversary. The Grand Palladium, as a whole, is such an amazing experience, from the quality of food, to the entertainment, to the level of service. This was our second visit to a Grand Palladium resort, and it will not be the last. Thank you for making our first anniversary unforgettable! We can't wait to see you again!
This is our second time staying at Grand Palladium but our first time at White Sands. We were very pleased at the comfort of the room and the convenient location of our villa. We were steps from the White Sands lobby, restaurant and pool. The staff were all excellent, everyone was always courteous and helpful. We did have a small issue where I was having difficulty confirming my super shuttle return trip, but that was not the fault of the hotel. The Staff was willing to help with whatever I asked (phone calls, etc), but not sure how to assist me beyond my specific requests. It worked out in the end though. We were a little disappointed that the beach was pretty much unusable due to the explosion of sea grass while we were there. As diligently as the property was trying to keep it clear, you can't control mother nature. However the many pools on the property, including our favorite: Las Rocas, more than satisfied our need for water and relaxation! The food was delicious everywhere we went, I don't think I had anything that was undercooked, and only a occasional overcooked item. But that is the nature of buffet dining. We ate at several of the a la carte dining and were pleased with all of them!
Wonderful resort with great amenities and a natural setting. Exceptional staff and service.
My husband and I booked this trip with family members.3 other couples. We enjoyed our trip very much. We were really never aware of the time and place of activities going on. I do wish we had reminders by the activity staff about the shows and games through out the day. The lists all the way in the libbies were hard for me to read.
The room was comfortable and the staff friendly, but this resort is way too big and my room was literally a half mile from the closet eating facility. There are few air conditioned common spaces and it is basically impossible to swim or snorkel at this resort, because of rocks just off the beach.
The hotel was very nice. The pool was the best. I thought the staff was very friendly and I would definitely go back.
Overall this was a great resort. Pools were amazing. Beach was also nice, although there was a little too much sea weed at the time we went (maybe the resort should invest in some equipment to clean it up instead of having staff do it with a rake... which is nearly impossible). Food was also pretty good, as was the entertainment. Overall a great value, but my only complaint was the size of the resort since it definitely was quite large. But, if you don't mind a bit of walking go for it!
We stayed here because of the day care for ages 1-2 (no other resort in the area has it) and it wasn't what we're used to. Not much air conditioning, closes in the middle of the day, not buttoned up, don't feed the kids so it was time consuming to pick them up for naps and food. We're used to receiving a sheet at the end of the day with everything they did too. Here, we were glad she was there, but she did look happy and the girls there loved her so the staff was great.
