I loved the resort. Only downfall was my refrigerator in my room did not work at all and it was never fixed. The bathroom sink drain was very clogged and this was never fixed even after expressing concerns about it. There is no night life on this resort. All activities are basically shut down at midnight except for bars and pools. The staff was amazing! I have never received such great service. Everyone was nice and eager to please. I had the time of my life! There were a few bumps but i would definitely stay again.
This was the best vacation I have ever been on. We stayed 5 nights and 6 days and I could have stayed another week and still had new experiences every day!! You have to find your drink of choice and stick with that and try A new restaurant each night because they are all different!
The staff at the resort was the best part! Everyone was so friendly and helpful and never got the vibe that we were a burden! Cecilio the bellboy at Kantenah was our most favorite! He was genuinely concerned with our stay being as amazing as possible.
I have always said I won’t return to the same vacation destination twice because there are so many places I want to visit, but the grand palladium Rivera maya changed my thoughts completely! I would book this same to the same resort next week in a heartbeat (but can’t get off work that soon :()!
Arrived on Saturday morning. Once we survived the solicitations at the airport for excursions and time-share opportunities, our hopes of a great vacation remained somewhat optimistic.
After a 1:15 drive and 2 drop-offs; we were met with friendly staff at the Kantanah...things were looking up. The staff did a great job at check-up in...cold towels, fruit drinks, and smiling faces. We arrived their at noon, so I room wasn't to be ready till 3pm - no worries we had our suits, the skies were blue, and were were off to grab a bite at the buffet and drinks poolside.
It went downhill from there.
The buffet food: The number one reason we will not got back. There was plenty of variety, great presentation, and lots of everything; unfortunately, it didn't taste good. Nothing looked like it was suppose to... the beef was ?beef?. Thank goodness for plenty of salad and fruit which we were able to survive on through the weekend. Oh yeah...breakfast was good....hard to mess up eggs.
We tried the dining experience. We made our first reservations at the NEW Seafood Dining Facility. That was a joke. We were greeted at our table by a Raccoon begging for food. The waiter was fun, but didn't understand English - he though he did and answered everything with a smile and "Si".
The food choices were by number.....who knows??? None of the fish choices were by the type of fish. I ordered Fish Soup and some sort of Fish. The soup was "Fishy" and the "Fish" was overcooked - I think it was Tuna. We were polite and sat for a minute as other quests came and went with the same concerned look. We didn't dare eat the food; and figured Rocky Raccoon wasn't going to go hungry tonight. We left a nice tip on the table and sneaked out the back.
The room was nice and tropical. Loved the outside shower, but thought the quests above us to the right and left may have enjoyed watching us more.
The room was smaller than we'd expected for the "Mayan Suites" upgrade and quite a bit an off the beaten path. The Air Conditioning was on in the "most the time" as were the mosquitos and smell of sewer. I recommend you bring plenty of bug spray and masks....you'll be fine. Once we figured out the primary mode of transportation was the the golf cart guys, we reduced the number of bites and putrid sewer odor to a minimum.
The pool was, by far, the best part. Unfortunately the limited access to cocktails and friendly bartenders caused me to give it a 3 instead of a 5. The ratio of people to bartenders was 25:1. Good thing is....you don't get a drunk in the pool. We did during one of our walk-around ventures, finally discovered the Pool Secreto...same ratio of people to bartender, but friendlier.
We were there for a wedding. Good friends always makes the best of bad occasions. The execution was disappointing. Apparently wedding happen here quite often, the the staff that does the activations seemed quite bored with the whole routine. I'd take this off my list if you have any thought of a wedding destination.
Bottom line is.....we will never go back and we will encourage others not to stay here. It was our first time to Mexico. Most of my friends and family rave about going to Cancun, so it must have just been where we stayed. I'll take Jamacia, BVI, Dominican Republic, anywhere really, over this.
Lesson Learned.
We were greeted with a fruity drink and a cold towel upon our arrival. We were pleasantly surprised to have our room upgraded at check-in to the Colonial section. The staff was always cheerful, polite and helpful.
Many wonderful nature sounds to listen to while sitting on our patio in the mornings. The resort is sprawling with many paths throughout. It took a day and a half to get to know our way around, but many times we were offered a ride by the staff driving by in the quiet golf cart taxis.
Zentropia Spa is marvelous. We spent two days there. The hydrotherapy, lazy river, and quiet pool are relaxing enough; add a massage and you will be floating. Get a ginger shot at the Health Bar for good measure. Pay a fee to spend the day, or book a treatment and spend the day included, either way it's worth it.
If it is entertainment and activities you seek, you won't have to look far. During the day the activity group offers something fun and different every hour around the pool area. So much energy and enthusiasm. Every evening there is a different show on the Colonial main stage. The dance troupe is very talented with a wide variety of music and elaborate costume changes. There are bands and musicians playing at different times of the day at the bars, at the pools, at the beach. In the evenings you'll find music in the lobby. The White Party on the beach (usually Monday night) is music, dancing, and a fire show.
Our favorite restaurants were the Italian Portofino (outdoor seating by the river), the Asian Sumptuori, and the seafood Punta Emilia; a big surprise to us on the beach – by day a lunch spot, by night fine dining, who knew!. The steak restaurant El Dorado was good, but it took very long to get our meal.
Would we go back? Yes!

It does cost more to upgrade, though it's not extreme. The sand is the softest sand I've ever felt. It felt more like a powder..
Nine5384
We stayed at Kantenah and the beach was very soft. We saw 3 weddings there in the 7 days we stayed. Some of the beaches at the surrounding resorts was choral and rock.
We went to a waterpark about 15 min. away that had dolphin swimming, scuba diving, lazy river, zip-lining, etc. It was fun and lasted all day.
We went to the Riviera every night for music and dancing.
We did pay around 80. a day to upgrade our kids from a regular suite to a Jr. suite so we could get a room with 3 beds. We stayed in the Mayan suites.

What is the difference between this and the other palladium resorts?5 answers
If you can stay at one and use all 4 palladium resorts, what makes this one different?
3 years, 42 months ago

The Grand Palladium is a giant complex. Each section of the resort has a different name, with some having unique room categories from the rest. For example, the Kentenah and Colonial sides offer adults only room categories.
CCGreg
this side has better and more beach if thats important to you
TJRem
Don't know this was our first time
Arik
We went to several of the other resorts and the beaches at the Kentenah were better. The other two that we saw were rocky, where Kentenah had a beautiful beach. However, the entertainment was better at some of the other resorts. They have a train that picks you up and takes you to other resorts, it never took more than 15 min. to get anywhere.
HCable
They are all a bit different in decoration, layout and offerings. I'd suggest doing the research and then choosing the one that is right for you to room at. Once there you can access any area of the resort. We stuck with the Kantenah area as it had everything we needed right there and ventured to the other areas in the complex at night and for dinner.
DianaS77
Each one kind of has its own theme for the villas and lobby area. This one is the most "natural" or earthy. The other ones appear to have a more modern look but the staff say they update and change the themes fairly often.

Is there any charges for using the spas and getting massages? If so how much?5 answers
2 years, 31 months ago
GA USA
The spa is not included in the all-inclusive and would be an extra charge. As this service is booked directly with the resort and the price is subject to change, we do not have their current rates on file.
SalCC
Yes and no, if you are in the gold suites they are all include, or you can buy packages if you do it that way you will save money.

Yes there is. You just need to bargain...

does "all inclusive" mean there is an added and required price per person for meals4 answers
can the resort be shosen without an all inclusive meal package?
2 years, 31 months ago
maura
All inclusive means all meals and drinks included for purchased packages.. No gratitude required but accepted.
Franco15usa
All-inclusive means that all your food and beverages, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, are included in the price paid.
SalCC
There was not on our package.
Arik
All-inclusive means the set price of your vacation package does include your food and drinks (including alcoholic drinks). I highly doubt you'd able to go and simply pay a-la-carte. They just aren't set-up to do that. The all-inclusive concept keeps it much simpler for the restaurants and for the customers.

I thought we had booked an ocean view, but we ended up in a totally different spot. They do have them available, but they are much further away from the lobby, so it all depends on your priorities. We ended up right next to the flamingos, and a 2 min walk to the lobby, so it worked out well!

bthornton
We stayed in a Mayan suite and I'm not sure how recent the update was, but the rooms were nice. It had an outdoor and indoor shower. The balcony had a hammock that we enjoyed. The room was nice, but the a/c is set on a motion detector so at night with no movement, the a/c would not run and it was very humid. We would wake up several times a night hot and have to get up so the a/c would kick on.

Lanyards & reservations3 answers
I know some all inclusives have things that can put on lanyards so the children/adults can keep better track of keys/cards/etc, and I just wondered if that is something we should bring. Also, someone mentioned we have to make reservations for dinners. Is that true or are we able to "take it day by day?" We want to enjoy our time not have to schedule everything. Thank you!
2 years, 29 months ago
Michigan
I don't think the resort provides anything like a lanyard to better organize keys and cards. Those items will usually just come in a little folder along with resort map, towel card, etc.
For dinner reservations, you will want to make those with Guest Services on arrival to the property. The policy on how many can be made and how far in advance will vary per property and occupancy/time of year.
CCGreg
We brought our own but rarely used them, my teen preferred his pocket and I used a small cross body purse most of the time so I had phone and cash with me too. As for dinner, there are only 2 restaurants requiring reservations. We played it by ear daily and never had an issue!
DianaS77
I didn't see anyone wearing a lanyard. But if the kids are prone to losing room keys, it could be smart. Everyone is given bracelets that give you access to meals and resort facilities.
We made reservations most days so there would be no wait. If you go to dinner early (read between 5:30 and 6:30) it didn't look like anyone was waiting to get in. The one night we didn't have reservations and showed up around 8 for dinner, we had to wait about 40 minutes. Two restaurants require reservations; Punta Emilia and the Tekken Yaki tables.

Resort Update
Palladium Hotels & Resorts has announced plans to upgrade its Riviera Maya Complex throughout 2017, including incorporating the current Grand Palladium Riviera Resort & Spa into The Royal Suites Yucatan. This transformation will be completed in various phases starting on June 1, 2017. Construction will mostly take place within the current Grand Palladium Riviera Resort & Spa and will have minimal impact. All guestrooms within the hotel, the rocky walkway along the water & the salt water pool area will be closed to all guests during the completion of the project. All other areas including the Riviera Lobby, Disco & Theatre, El Jardin Restaurant and the current The Royal Suites Lobby will be closed during certain dates listed below. During times of closure, the areas will not be accessible to guests and should therefore not impact the guest experience.
Below is a complete project timeline:
Disco & Theatre:
June 1-November 1, 2017: Construction will be in progress in the Disco and Theatre of the current Grand Palladium Riviera Resort & Spa. During this time, alternate entertainment venues will be provided to guests. Once construction to the Disco and Theatre are complete, the Disco will convert to become one of four exclusive restaurants available to guests of The Royal Suites Yucatan and the Theatre will become the second exclusive restaurant providing guests with a Dinner and Show themed experience referred to as the Cabaret.
Riviera Lobby and Kabah Buffet:
June 1-September 15, 2017: Construction will be in progress at the current Riviera Lobby which will convert to the new The Royal Suites Lobby. Guests will not be affected by this construction since all guestrooms in Riviera will be closed. All hotel services will be available at the adjoining White Sand, Colonial and Kantenah Lobbies.
Construction will also be in progress at the Kabah Buffet. During this time, breakfast, lunch and dinner will be available at La Laguna as well as the other restaurants within the Riviera Maya Complex.
The renovated Kabah Buffet will feature 2 separate sections (1 buffet exclusively available to guests of The Royal Suites and 1 for guests of Grand Palladium).
El Jardin Restaurant & the current The Royal Suites Lobby:
September 16-December 1, 2017: Construction will be in progress at El Jardin restaurant and the current lobby of The Royal Suites. The current lobby for The Royal Suites will convert into 2 separate a la carte restaurants. By this time, the new lobby for The Royal Suites will be open at its new location and the buffet will be available at Kabah.
Environmental Levy Fee
The Municipalidad of Solidaridad in the Rivera Maya is one of the most beautiful places in the Mexican Caribbean. Tourism has been instrumental in driving the economic and social development of the region. In an effort to continue to preserve, conserve and beautify the destination, the Municipality of Solidaridad has implemented a small environmental levy on visitors effective September 1, 2017. Hotels will collect 20 Mexican pesos per room per day on check out; the proceeds will be deposited in an environmental trust to fund local projects. The Municipalidad of Solidaridad thanks you for your understanding and support of this worthwhile endeavor. Thank you and enjoy your visit.
