    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 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.

    • @MaysFamilyTravels
      @MaysFamilyTravels  Рік тому +1

      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

    👍 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

    • @MaysFamilyTravels

    • @MaysFamilyTravels
      @MaysFamilyTravels  2 роки тому

      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 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.

    • @MaysFamilyTravels
      @MaysFamilyTravels  2 роки тому

      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.

  • @wmendez3

    • @MaysFamilyTravels
      @MaysFamilyTravels  9 місяців тому

      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.

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
