everything was fine until we were told on our first day that all the pools close at 7pm. this is a very large property with numerous pools and its unbelieveable that they would close all the pools so early when the sun is still brightly shining. they actually called security on us because we just thought the bartenders were joking... more

We spent a week at the Grand Palladium Palace May 24-31. We had ups and downs during our stay but mostly ups. First the downs: Check in was a breeze, we got one of the buildings we requested and were escorted to our room by a very friendly bell hop. Upon entry I found the room very hot. The bellman... more

The weather and views are amazing. We stayed at the Palladium Palace for two weeks from the 13th May 2008 - the food, waiters and bar staff were excellent, expect to tip. Off site was not a good experience as many people expect something from you and market traders were constanstly bombarding you. We lost our wedding ring and were... more

We went on this trip with open mind and expectations that things can change without our control and just went with the flow and had a Great Time.

On arrival we... more

Our group of 12 vacationed at the Royal Suites. Although we had e-mailed room requests prior to arrival, no response was received. We did receive a 3rd floor room that we requested. ROOMS: The rooms were very nice--some overlooking the beach and pool, others the courtyard. Maid service was very good and Royal Suites guests also receive evening turndown service.... more

My husband and I just returned from our trip to Punta Cana. We stayed at the Royal Suites portion of the Grand Palladium and were very pleased. Here are our thoughts....feel free to email if you have questions about any of the palladium sections. we did a lot of walking around and comparing. Biggest perks about royal suites compared to... more

I have just returned from the Palladium Palace, after spending 2 weeks there with my husband, sister and parents. Check in: Check in was fast, and we were given three rooms together in the same building which was great. We were given a glass of fruit punch then the bell boys escorted us to our room. Rooms: I really liked... more
