Accommodations
The first step in planning your family vacation at Grand Palladium’s all-inclusive property in Riviera Maya is to choose your accommodations. There are multiple options so you can choose what you need to make everyone comfortable. We stayed at the Grand Palladium White Sand Resort and Spa. The resort has 264 rooms, and you will feel at home, relaxed and comfy from the moment you check in. Choose between three types of rooms/suites:
The Junior Suites are centrally located on the grounds and are very spacious. These rooms have either a king size bed or two full-size beds. The views of the gardens, mangrove forest, and lake are so soothing. If you travel here as a couple without kids, stay in a junior suite with the open bath plan and enjoy a romantic jacuzzi right in the room. If you bring the kids, there are rooms with an enclosed bathroom. Enjoy coffee on the terrace before you start your day on the Rivera Maya.
The Suites all have a king sized bed and a separate lounge area with sofa. These rooms also have beautiful garden views. The sofa pulls out into a double bed so the kids can sleep there while Mom and Dad have the bedroom for themselves. This is a great option for a little privacy when your kids are not old enough to stay in their own room.
The Mayan Suites are the most luxurious of the accommodations at Grand Palladium. Here you will enjoy a ton of space that includes a private entrance from the exterior, a terrace with a kayak landing on the lake, hammocks, a king sized bed, jacuzzi, and outdoor Mayan shower. However, these suites are designed for adults only so you can’t stay here with the family.
Pick the accommodations that are right for you and start the countdown to the day you check in!
Dining and Drinks
The options for dining and drinks at Grand Palladium seem almost endless. And since this is an all-inclusive resort, you just pick what you feel like eating and enjoy. There are five buffet restaurants available for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You are on vacation so enjoy a fun cocktail! There are swim up bars, beach bars, and even a sports bar. When it is time for dinner, you can eat at a buffet restaurant, but there are also nine thematic a la carte restaurants. Be adventurous and try some new cuisine during your visit to Grand Palladium. Mediterranean, Italian, authentic Mexican, and Japanese cuisine are just some of the choices. At every restaurant, there are choices you and your kids will love.
Natural Beauty All Around
Riviera Maya is a gem on Mexicos northeastern Yucatn Peninsula. The beaches here along the Caribbean are unreal. This truly is a tropical paradise, and you can make your home here with a stay at one of the Grand Palladium Resorts like the Grand Palladium White Sand Resort and Spa. The sea is blue, the sand is white, the tropical greenery is lush, and the sunshine is warm and bright. Local wildlife roams freely. Nature really is preserved throughout the property.
The natural look of the land is incorporated throughout the resort as well. You don’t feel like you are staying in a strange building that seems out of place in this beautiful part of the world. The resort blends in seamlessly, honoring the land on which it sits and incorporating traditional Mexican architecture.

There are things to enjoy as a family, stuff just for kids, and events just for adults. There is world class entertainment here!
