Great Deal for the Money
Certainly not the fanciest but they have a great beach, beautiful grounds in keeping with the natural environment, good food, great staff. I go back because even though the resort is huge you can easily spend much of the day without it being too crowded or seeing a lot of other people. - all the trees help, and the way the buildings are spread out. Breakfast at the buffets is the busiest time of the day. You can go to the smaller beach cafe on the southwest end of the resort and be the only one there in the am for coffee and pastries and whatever you want them to coook for you off of the snack menu. Love the water - they actually have great sand and a reef offshore to keep the waves down so it is perfect for paddling around and snorkling for beginners. There is a surprising amount of fish even though the reef is definately damaged. I think the Royal expensive new section is a waste of money as it is farther away from any useable beach and farther away from the main lobbies and restaurants where everything happens. It would be nice and private if it were near the beach but it is not. Go for bldg 58 in the middle of everything, right next to the beach.

We traveled with a 3 and 9 year old and would have to say we were very satisfied with the resort. The kids club was great and the kids could not wait for the nightly show! A la carte restaurants permitted children, other resorts do not! Overall, great relaxing vacation. We would recommend with kids and they also offer "adult" only area.
We travel with our kids, 17 and 18, 2 or 3 times a year. We love Palladium's resort! We have been to the Grand Palladium Palace in Punta Cana in 2008 and last year to Grand Palladium White Sand. We are going back in October. What we love more at this resort is the animation (Hector, Diana...). We have been to many other resorts but this is our favorite.
The food is good, the beach is nice the pools are nice and the animation is fantastic.
Can wait to go back!!!
