Palladium Hotel Group have it all! They are world-renowned for their stunning locations, luxury amenities, and exciting activities for everyone from sports lovers to spa fans, and from sun worshippers to families with children. Their all-inclusive Caribbean properties are a wonderful option for destination weddings, large families, honeymooners and friends. And you will find them in some of the best sun locations: Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, Montego Bay in Jamaica, Riviera Nayarit on the Pacific coast of Mexico and the Riviera Maya in Mexico’s Yucatan. And the big news is that there are two new resorts coming in Fall 2018 in the “hot” new destination of Costa Mujeres, just north of Cancun.
Palladium Hotel Group continuously invests in its properties, maintaining and updating their facilities. Last year Palladium Hotels Group announced plans today to invest an additional $21 million in upgrades in the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and Mexico. Naturally there are many improvements to the restaurants, suites and the structures of the hotels, however Palladium are also making important improvements to the overall guest experience.
$5 million of the total investment went toward improving food and beverage offerings, which included “beefing up” the steak quality to angus and cowboy cuts, upgrades to the food served at the buffet restaurants, higher-quality liquors at all bars (back to that Bombay Sapphire!) and better mini bar snacks. Other upgrades included increasing the number of staff, better WiFi and sound systems, and improvements to the Palladium Hotels & Resorts mobile phone App.
A big part of Palladium Hotel Group’s innovation is the new Family Selection concept, which will launch at the newly renovated Grand Palladium Vallarta Resort & Spa in Riviera Nayarit, Mexico on June 1, 2018. Kids become “VIK’s” (very important kids!) as the family enjoys an exclusive family area within the resort, personalized services, premium products and special amenities.
Family Selection guests will have exclusive access to a private restaurant and bar, new entertainment units, separate pool with waiter service, and a reserved area on the beach. In-suite, Very Important Kids will be treated to special amenities including mini bathrobes and slippers, a prepared bubble bath with water toys, cookies and milk turndown service, a personalized mini-bar with special beverages, in-room video games upon request and more.
Beyond the room, children and teens will have access an entertainment zone with video games, cooking classes and special arts & crafts activities. Family Selection adults will also receive 24-hour room service, unpacking and packing services, priority reservations in restaurants and complimentary access to the hydrotherapy area of Zentropia Palladium Spa & Wellness centre. With many activities to choose from, both children and adults will have direct access to a Family Host who can assist with restaurant reservations and special requests.
Palladium are also amping up all-inclusive with “Infinite Indulgence”. Expect luxurious rooms with a spacious balcony or furnished terrace. Suites can provide premium features, such as direct access to swim-up pools and impressive landscape views. Indoor there is every comfort you could want - hydro massage hot tub, king size bed with memory foam, 50’ flat screen TV and all the necessary amenities to assure a comfortable stay. Turndown service, pillow menu, Nespresso coffee machine, minibar - you want it, you’ve got it!
Infinite indulgence also means service beyond your expectations. Private check-in and check-out and butler service are standard. You are treated to uniquely crafted restaurant experiences including live shows and a wide choice of ‘à la carte’ menus and bars with premium liquors. 24-hour room service, free Wi-Fi in all areas, electric carts transportation throughout the resort – the list goes on and on.
And, on top of all this, the facilities of the resort are superb. Relax at the Ibiza style beach club and soak in the beautiful sunsets. Cool down in a breathtaking swimming pool, pamper yourself at a fabulous spa with gym and fitness zone, pool and beach waiter service, play on one of 8 tennis courts …this really is all inclusive taken to the next level.

Elegant and comfortable, providing luxury for all ages, Grand Palladium Hotels & Resorts have a stellar reputation for children’s activities, excellent dining for adults and the quality of the Zentropia Palladium Spa & Wellness centres.

Set to open in the Fall of 2018 are two new hotels in beautiful Costa Mujeres in Mexico. The project will include a family-friendly property, the Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres Resort & Spa, together with the adults-only TRS Coral Hotel, accompanied by a “Village” that includes a variety of restaurants, bars, kids’ clubs, and an amphitheatre.
The new destination of Costa Mujeres is only just being discovered by vacationers. The hotels are situated in an ideal location in the northeast of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, 35 minutes from Cancun International Airport and just 20 minutes from the city.
Cancun is the place where Mexico’s tourism industry really began. Nowadays it is where you will find the very best shopping, dining, sports, wellness, entertainment and nightlife in all of Mexico. It’s a destination for everyone, from family groups to couples and from beach fanatics to active soft-adventurers. Cancun is also the perfect launch pad for wonders such as the UNESCO World Heritage Mayan site of Chichen Itza and for eco adventure like snorkeling with whale sharks. Costa Mujeres has the city glitz of Cancun on the doorstep, but it is an unspoiled paradise. The new Palladium Group hotels are surrounded by a virgin beach, mangroves and indigenous flora and fauna.
The environmentally sensitive construction includes some innovative features. A system of canals allows guests to reach all points of the resort by boat. The construction is strategically three metres above the sea level, in order to provide spectacular views. The staff operates through a discreet tunnel network, out of sight of hotel guests, ensuring an impeccable aesthetic. While guests enjoy Golf cart transportation throughout the resort in order to provide comfort and to protect the environment.
