We had an incredible 10-day stay at this resort, which truly felt like paradise. The staff made us feel like family, especially Gilmer and Fernanda, who served amazing drinks. However, not everyone had a pleasant experience, as some rooms had issues with dampness and cleanliness. The dining options were plentiful but varied in quality. Overall, it's a beautiful place that I can't wait to return to.

Our time at the Grand Palladium was filled with beautiful scenery and enjoyable experiences, especially with the family-friendly vibe. The rooms were spacious and well-maintained, and the pools offered a fun escape. However, the dining options fell a bit short regarding variety, and the beach situation with the seaweed could be better. Overall, the resort provides a solid value for a family vacation, but note the occasional challenges with food quality and beach cleanliness.
