Great Family Vacation

NeenerJ,

Thu May 23 00:38:08 EDT 2013

We traveled to the Grand Palladium May 4-14th 2013 with 8 other family members, ranging from 6 months to 56 yrs old. Overall the resort was great, something for everyone unfortunately the downfall was that the resort was not at full capacity for part of our stay so only 2 out of the 5 al a cartes were open most nights and the larger of the 2 buffets was closed most days leaving us with only the smaller one with far less choices for food. Having a fussy 5 year old who really missed the food from home made that a bit of an issue especially after 10 days. The al a cartes we did get to were good, our favorite was Bamboo (asian cuisine), we ate there twice and enjoyed it just as much the second evening. The bars were great... never walked far without a friendly eager bartender to serve us delicious drinks. The service was great everywhere from the the housekeeping to the bartenders and wait staff as well as the activities crew. The kids club was fabulous, our son went a few days for a few hours at a time, the girls who work in there are soo sweet, great with the kids, helping with crafts and making cookies. The activities in the kids club included, playground, video games, movies, dress up, swimming (in their own wading pool), soccer, climbing wall and lots of crafts! Every night the activities staff puts on a show which is mediocre, it starts with games for the kids club on stage which our lil guy got up every night and participated in and was thrilled! The resort is far away from anything else except one lil corner store for munchies and drinks. If you're planning on shopping close by or walking to shops it won't happen. We went into Sayulita for the day which was fabulous but is a 15-20min taxi away. The beach the resort sits quietly on is beautiful, secluded and fabulous for walking and shell finders. The surfing on the beach at the resort is apparently the best in the area, however we did not do this, just watched! The pools at the resort were great, plenty of lounge chairs and bars near by, my only complaint... no swim up bars :( Overall the resort was great, a memorable family vacation however we probably wouldn't return due to the location away from town. We like to be closer walking distance to stuff!

Good Value & Resort, Not Great.

BRI_735, Winnipeg

Sat May 11 22:09:55 EDT 2013

Been on a few of these all inclusive Mexico trips. This one was good, not great. 1 - room - Most of the balcony views were not great. I switched to a 2nd room upon arrival and my view went from the back of a restaurant to just trees and a walk way. You have to pay extra for a nice view, and there are not many of those rooms without paying a lot more. But each room had beer and water in the fridge, an ipod dock, TV, and everything else you need, and it was clean. Beds were NOT comfortable. I'm not picky, but the mattresses were like sleeping on bags of rice. 2 - Food & Drink. Buffet is basic all inclusive spread. The themed restaurants were just a notch above good. All had great service. The one thing i found the most tasty was the fish at the buffet. Mahi Mahi. Nothing was awful and there is something for everyone. Alcohol is mid to bottom shelf unless you order by brand name. If you want top shelf booze, go to Hemingway's Lounge and tip well. It's worth it. 3 - Resort - the pools and beach offered a lot of variety. Kids area on the beach, more adult beach area, family pool, not so family pool, and the adult pool (where things can get a little more animated without the kiddies around). All were good in their own way. And there's lot of options to sit your butt down for a few hours in any area. The resort was clean. The staff was nice and served well. Keep those tips coming in the rooms and at the bar and you get even better service. Obviously. The zoo was annoying. Kids will love it. The noise will not be loved by adults after day 3. This resort is also off the beaten path. You are secluded, so getting anywhere will take a cab or a bus to get there. Not that big of a deal, but you're not in a city. And as per every other review, the wifi only works in or near the lobby. Not the best, but just like the rest of this review, it's good, not great. 4 -Ocean. I have to say, I was not expecting such a beautiful deep blue ocean color on the west coast. The water was amazing every day, had great waves, was crystal clear, and had a great beach. I would say the ocean in this region was the best surprise of this trip. Overall, this resort is nice. It's not amazing. We were in a large group of mostly families with kids. This place caters to couples and families more than other types of travelers. If you want a solid resort with the kids for a good value, try this place out. There is a lot to offer for children every day. If you're a couple wanting to get away for a week, book a nicer room with an ocean view and enjoy the areas without families. This resort will not knock your socks off, but it will give you a satisfying and relaxing good time for a good value.

Loved it!
