The Grand Palladium Resort views are spectacular. The white sand beach is so stunning. We love early mornings on vacation. The beach party looks so much fun! The ice cream machine will add a special touch on a hot day. Definitely adding this resort to our list.
Thank you! You are going to have a great time. One thing we forgot to mention is that I wish we would have boomed our excursions ahead of time. We tried to book Chitzen Itza while there but they were sold out , so we only ended up doing Xel-Ha
Thank you for this fantastic blog about this Resort. A couple of questions: What does all-inclusive include for this resort? Is the shuttle free from the airport? Which airport did you fly to? Thank you so much for taking the time to answer our questions.
Thank you very much. All incluse included food and drinks, and some of the non powered water sports. The shuttle we took wasnt free because we went with a big group. We flew into the Cancun International Airport. It was a bout a 50-55 minute ride. But the hotel is close to the Xelha park if thats in your plans
Here from the Mete and I couple shoutout video! Kennedy is so cute! We want a hot tub too lol! This resort is so beautiful! The beach party looks like so much fun! Awe man we were hoping she would like the coconut as well. The food looked amazing! This was a great video! You guys have such great visuals we felt like we were watching a tv show! You guys are such a great family! We hope to start traveling more in 2022! Loving it here!
Thanks for great video so helpful. Going with my son, sister, niece, nephew, mum and their partners. So much info :-) thanks Corrina from England 🏴
Hello 👋 we're new here! This place looks so relaxing and vacation goals!!! We're connecting with you from METE & I. We look forward to staying connected with you! ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the great video and the helpful advice! What time of year were you there? I’m a bit concerned about the beach issue because that’s something very important to us.
Our pleasure! We were there July 2021. There were sections of the beach where the sargasm wasn't bad and we could actually get into the water, but I definitely understand where you're coming from!
👍 Hi brilliant video, We have booked to stay this coming August for first time at this great looking resort. You mentioned that the complex was very large, we have stayed down the road at the Grand Bahia where they run golf cart buses which you can hop on and off to get around the resort easily. Do they offer anything like this here? Also what time of year was your vacation as it didn't look crowded? Many thanks
Thanks, there were golf carts but I wouldnt say they are easy to catch. You have to call, but we had elderly guest that used them. I think that vacation was in July. I was not crowded at all
Thank you so much for watching! So each of the resorts has a different options of entertainment and different times of the year. We didn't see a foam party at the Grand Palladium Riviera Maya or the Grand Palladium Jamaica, but they do change the entertainment a lot, I do think your twins would enjoy it. Since this resorts is basically 4 hotels in one and you can eat and swim at the others pools.
I believe they do, but since our daughter was 4 at the time we just opted for the pull out bed. We thought they were good, we have a video on our channel that’s just a room tour.
@@MaysFamilyTravels that's brilliant thank you for you're reply, I was worried as I reason alot of comments saying full length trousers. Glad you guys had a great time
You are welcome, I would still say take something full length just in case they have changed the rules. I cant remember what I was wearing when we went to the Brazilian steakhouse, it may have been pants. Or we just decided to dress up. I do remember that you have to make reservations on the first day you arrive cause they fill up fast.
This is hilarious. We are thinking of going here for my 3 year old daughters first overseas trip, and her name is Kennedy as well! How was the menus at the restaurants for toddlers?
Ha that is perfect! Kennedy loved it, just be aware that all you are going to here is Mexico until you go somewhere else lol. They generally had things toddlers like to eat (chicken nuggets, etc). Kennedy ate at pretty much all of the restaurants.
Hi we went for 4 nights. We did not exchange money as we stayed mostly on the resort until we went on the excursions. We paid for the excursions via CC at the hotel. On the excursion most people accepted USD
Downloaded the app and able to pull up and view all the restaurants, hours, and menus but not seeing an option to book reservations- could you explain how to book reservations on the app?
Hi, we made our dinner reservations on our first day there at the reservations desk in the lobby. The app looks a little different now than when we were there. So, it's best to ask someone who works at the resort.
me and my partner are going here soon, we were wondering what was included and what was extra because we had trouble finding that information on the website, do you have a video about this?
Congrats you will have a great time. Unfortunately we only made this one and another one specifically for the room. I will say that its all inclusive so all of your food and drinks are free. They had free nightly entertainment as well. They have some water sports but honestly were not doable due to the sargassum. The excursions are all for pay, and I believe some of the top notch foods like lobsters on certain days.
I thought the sargassum was there between July and October? When did u go? I’m a big beach person. The resort looks great but I take vacations for the beach. Now I’m worried. Lol
Same we take vacations for the beach and were really bummed out, it was soo bad. We went about the 3rd week of July 2021. They tried so hard to clean it up, but it just is too much to manage.
Great video. I was suppose to be getting married at this resort in Feb 2021, had to postpone until Feb 2022 and may have to cancel altogether because of covid
@@MaysFamilyTravels I keep finding myself coming back to your video because it’s SO well done. We decided we aren’t going to let covid control our lives anymore and will be leaving for this resort in 5 days !! Very excited.
Thats awesome, glad you are going. You will have a great time. We actually just reserved our summer trip at the Grand Palladium in Jamaica lol. They got our money again.
I've been to this resort 3 times in my life and want to go again. They have all been Dec-April trips. My last trip was 2017. This is my favorite resort. I have never seen the water thst bad it's always been pristine when I have been there.
You know we actually didn't get in to see coral, there was too much sargasm on the beach to get in the water, but I have read that it goes away in the winter months. So it might look different now
Hello... I see that you have been to both Grand Palladium White Sand and Jamaica. Which did you enjoy better? I am looking at traveling in March 2024 with my wife and 4 kids (13, 10, 10 and 8) and my brother and his family 3 kids (16, 14 and 9). Any feedback would be much appreciated!
I would say it really depends on what you are doing overall. I think the Jamaica has the better resort but White Sands might have the better excursions for the kids. Jamaica you can do Dunn's River, Ricks Cafe, etc but White Sands you can do to the Cenotes and Xcaret Parks which kids might enjoy more. Both both are great resorts. The major thing is sargasumm and if the areas will be affected that will stop you from getting on the beach.
@@MaysFamilyTravels Thanks for the feedback/suggestions. We were not planning on doing any off resort excursions/activities but now will reconsider. Also appreciate the heads up regarding sargasumm. I will have to Google when the high season is for both Jamaica/Mexico. Do you recall if sargasumm was an issue for your stay at either resort?
Your welcome, we have videos of our excursions for both Jamaica and Mexico. The catamaran might be a good family trip , we did that in Jamaica. For Mexico we did Xcaret water park, bus pick up and drop off from hotel, included a meal while at the water park. We had sargassum in Mexico in July, some ppl don’t mind, but we didn’t like that sea weed itchy feeling and it made getting in the beach not a priority. No sargassum in Jamaica, there beach was crystal clear
We did not but I highly suggest you do before you arrive , at the latest checkin. Most of the good times where booked. Another thing to look at is if you want to do excursions, some of them like Chichen Itza are all day trips from this resort.
So great to see a family enjoying our favorite resort. Loved Kennedy's excitement for the pools! Thanks for a fabulous vlog!
Thanks for the kind comments. Kennedy loved it and is ready for her next one lol
Good job on the video! Enjoyed it :)
Thank you so much!

Nothing like an early morning with nobody around! Beach Party was a fun time.

Hey Hey! Thank you! Kennedy is handful and we definitely want a hot tub. Thank you so much for the kind comments! Look forward to connecting.

Great video! Can you make unlimited reservations at the a la carte restaurants or is there a maximum amount?
I believe you can make one at a time at each, but it might have changed. We had one for each day
Thank you soooo much for this beautiful video
Do you think my 17 year old twins would enjoy this resort.Do they do the foam party in the pool

Thank you!
Great video...Thank you.... Suscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
Do they provide crib for kid? Are garden view junior suites good?
I believe they do, but since our daughter was 4 at the time we just opted for the pull out bed. We thought they were good, we have a video on our channel that’s just a room tour.
Would love to go there even for 1 night or a day pass
Great video, could you guys please tell me if you are allowed chino shorts in the al a carte restraunts?
yep, I wore alot of shorts during my stay
@@MaysFamilyTravels that's brilliant thank you for you're reply, I was worried as I reason alot of comments saying full length trousers.

I might go join them lol! I like ur style! Is it all buffet?
😂🤣 There's a great variety. They offer both buffets and a la carte restaurants. Thank you so much for watching!
What time of the year did you visit? We’re planning a trip but the beach is priority, and the sargassum looks aweful. 😭
😬 Late July 2021. Yep it was pretty bad
I've been to this resort 3 times in my life and want to go again. They have all been Dec-April trips. My last trip was 2017.
This is my favorite resort. I have never seen the water thst bad it's always been pristine when I have been there.
Beautiful family
Thank you 😊
Hey what side of the beach would you say is best to swim in where there isn’t much coral?
You know we actually didn't get in to see coral, there was too much sargasm on the beach to get in the water, but I have read that it goes away in the winter months. So it might look different now

Beautiful family! What activities did you do during the day other than the pools?
Thanks! We did all of the resort activities and we took an excursion. We made another video about it.
Does Grand Palladium provide onsite covid test ? for travelling back to US
yes they did last year, im sure they still do
we looking at going here thanks
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!
Did you bring a drone with you? I'm thinking of taking one, not sure if they are allowed
Yes we did! Im not sure if there were rules.
Question, did you book your restaurant reservations in advance ?
We did not but I highly suggest you do before you arrive , at the latest checkin. Most of the good times where booked. Another thing to look at is if you want to do excursions, some of them like Chichen Itza are all day trips from this resort.
Is there an app for booking stuff?
@@corrinaslife3248 yep you can get the Grand Palladium app now, I would suggest that so you can go ahead and start booking restaurants and excursions
Are there any elevators
Yes
What was the date of your trip ? Which season ?
Summer (July) 2021
Beautiful family
No ice cream 🍦😞
😕
