    Absolutely stunning resort, honest review

    This resort is absolutely beautiful. I've read other reviews about staff being unfriendly however our experience was the opposite, everyone was super friendly and very helpful. I would agree with other reviews that you need to book into restaurants early as they tend to fill up quickly. The room we were in was lovely, and the grounds, pools, beach, etc. are pure paradise. We got upgraded for our honeymoon and came into balloons and matching t-shirts, which was a nice touch. We did feel like we were duped into looking around a resort with hard sales techniques for us to buy into a loyalty program after being told we would be picked up to 'be shown around'. Didn't spoil anything really as was raining that day but if it had been sunny, we would have been very annoyed, especially since the salesperson was very loud and touchy. Also we were told 90 minutes once we realised, which became 4 hours.. had an issue with one of the restaurants bringing the wrong food and then not rectifying. Saying that, the setting, staff, number of food places, bars, and general feel of the place was heavenly. All other restaurants were amazing. The chic caberet is a must. Seems expensive at 80 dollars per person, but we love that kind of thing, singing, performing. The food was glorious too. I'd strongly recommend doing that. Beware if you do the boogies, you get absolutely drenched and covered in mud driving through puddles so take stuff you dont mind being ruined or needing a deep clean along with bandana and sunglasses, so much fun though I would recommend this! The dolphin experience was amazing, i dont usually like doing animal experiences with captive animals but found out they actually have a large 'playing area' in the sea and they genuinely seemed super looked after and happy. I'd definitely go back to that resort or others in the Palladium group, we thoroughly enjoyed our time and were sorry to leave. Theres ice stations everywhere and clearly signed restrooms/maps etc. On check out we still had access to all food and drinks while they stored our bags. Absolutely recommend this place. Lastly, my feedback on the restaurant issue and sales patter was responded to with a lovely personalised email so yep - go, you won't be disappointed.

    Amazing resort and staff

    Amazing and beautiful resort. Great location. We traveled during the rain season and it did rain the entire day for one of our days. But no one can control that. We still managed to have fun that day and night. The staff is amazing. They take care of everything for you. The dining and entertainment options are wide and man they find something for everyone. I will be returning to this resort again

    This was our fifth time at the property. It’s a great place with friendly staff and they are attentive to any issues that come up. All the staff are awesome. A big shout out to Steven, Cesar, Rafael and Roberto.

    Excellent professional services! ☺️

    We had a vacation as a couple at the Grand Paladium Palace, Punta Cana where we felt wonderful. The view was towards the pool, which we really liked. We were not bored at all, we had activities all the time, then we visited Saona Island for my birthday and did a guided day trip to Santo Domingo. The services were always excellent, making sure you don't miss anything. Every day the refrigerator in the room is stocked with water and soft drinks and the rooms are cleaned. The food at the buffet is delicious and the menu changes almost every day. The bars always serve you with what you want to drink. It was a dream 2 weeks and we want to come back next year. Thank you very much to everyone who works here, for making our stay as pleasant as possible! God bless you all! 🥰🤗

    Great resort

    The property is stunning and expansive. Buffets and restaurants were comparable to other all inclusive resorts, some great others so-so. Highly recommend doing the Chic cabaret experience. It was a blast. The beds and pillows were very comfortable! Rooms and whole property were very clean. Lots of pools and restaurants to choose from for the visit. Only negative was very pushy vendors and spa/chic requests and sales. Slightly overwhelming at every turn.
