The room was big and clean. The resort was massive and we got lost a lot, but we got our steps in. The drinks aren't very good, and the food was alright. There weren't many places to get beach towels or drop them off. Basically, the property is so big, it seemed like it provided cumbersome at times and there just weren't enough staff to cover everything. The pool area was a mess at the end of the day because there aren't enough places to drop towels, and there were messes guests made that staff didn't have the bandwidth to clean up. The resort itself was really beautiful and luxurious, and it was nice that the property included mangroves, so there was wildlife around. The staff were very lovely and kind.

This was by far my best hotel experience in Mexico! The grounds were well kept, our room was very clean, lots of available entertainment, delicious food, great activity crew making everything so fun and energetic (David, Daniel, Daniela). A huge shout out to Saul(Helios restaurant), Concierge staff (David and Cielo) for arranging pick-ups and reservations, Alejandro (Chic Cabaret) for his outstanding service and Wilma (nightly turn down housekeeper) for the little things she did to make our stay extra special.
Our last breakfast at Helios TRS-Saul giving us done extra special attention.  Getting to know staff and giving them the appreciation they deserve goes a long way.

Rooms were spotless and spacious. Property is great and staff is excellent. We had lot of fun at aqua gym with Marianna and Samuel. One feedback is for the food. Although it was good the options for vegetarians are very limited. Also getting reservations for restaurants was very hard. They take reservations only 3 days in advance and most of the time everything is full. So food wise I would definitely like to see better arrangements. David from Expedia was very helpful and they did a little thing for my daughter’s birthday as well which was so sweet. Will definitely recommend this resort!

Our honeymoon at Grand Palladium White Sands was better than anything we could have asked for. All of the staff was incredibly kind, helpful and welcoming. David and Cielo were our personal concierges and were always there whenever we needed them. They helped us with everything from food to excursions to making sure we landed home safely. We couldn’t recommend Grand Palladium more and we are so excited to come back with our family and friends!

Pools are excellent, the Japanese and the Brazilian restaurants too. The Colonial pool is the right place for small children, where the water slides are and the water is heated, as opposed to the White Sand pool, which is pretty cold in December. The secret pool is a nice place, if one is looking for quietness (adults only). The staff is friendly and helpful. Our maid was obviously grossly overworked, since most of the time she was making up the room late afternoon or in the evening, some days skipping the service. And she always put one less sheet than necessary on the additional bed. The minibar is replenished irregularly, one needs to remind them to do it. The most negative thing we experienced was the "check-in" system at the buffet restaurants, e.g. the wait to be seated. The guests have to wait to be led to a table, as opposed to just go and sit at any available table, which leads to a long wait. I suspect that the reason is insufficient number of tables and insufficient personnel to prepare them. One day the main buffet at White Sand was closed for lunch and there was about 40 minutes wait at the neighbouring pool buffet. They have a free beach/pool towel system, due to what one can see piles and piles of clean unused towels on the deckchairs and at the same time they are out of towels at the dispensing booth. One can see used towels everywhere, including on top of toilet bowls, in the bush, etc.

Some places had great food, others had very bland food. I advise for you to try different restaurants and stick with the one you like the best. We found the Nest to have the better breakfast option. The food at the white sand location was quite horrible.

Grand Palladium (Christmas Week Stay 2025) We are currently staying at Grand Palladium during Christmas week, a period when guests pay significantly higher rates and reasonably expect enhanced service, special programming, and better overall organization. Unfortunately, our experience has fallen short of those expectations. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that either management has not evolved in years or the resort is struggling operationally. Upon arrival, our taxi stopped, the driver unloaded our checked luggage, and—surprisingly—there was no staff available to assist us. For the first time at a resort of this level, I had to carry my own luggage. Inside the lobby, we were handed papers and directed without any real guidance. The check-in experience felt impersonal, and the staff member assisting us appeared more focused on selling than on hospitality or accommodation. Once we reached our room, additional issues surfaced. Likely due to humidity, the sheets were damp, and the decorative pillow on the sofa was wet and had an unpleasant odor. After contacting Expedia, our concierge Celio stepped in the following day. She deserves special mention as the only staff member who genuinely tried to help. A dehumidifier was sent, the sheets were changed, and the smelly pillow was removed. Without her intervention, the issue may not have been resolved properly. Weather is obviously not under the resort’s control, but lack of rainy-day activities is. On a full rainy day,

Our stay at Grand Palladium white sand was absolutely amazing. The resort is huge, beautiful, and surrounded by nature, which made it feel relaxing and special from the moment we arrived. The staff were incredibly friendly and always willing to help with anything we needed. The food was excellent for an all-inclusive resort, with a wide variety of restaurants and options. We especially enjoyed the à la carte restaurants and the buffet, which always had fresh and tasty choices. Drinks were great too, and the bartenders were fun and generous. The pools were clean and well-maintained, and the beach was beautiful, with plenty of loungers and space to relax. There were lots of activities during the day and entertainment at night, so there was never a dull moment. Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, and housekeeping did a great job every day. Overall, this resort offers great value, great service, and a wonderful vacation experience. We would definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing all-inclusive getaway.
