Going to Akumal? Don’t forget to stop by the library. Here is their Wish List.
Yeah!!
It’s so exciting having a countdown.
You should contact Guest Services ahead to ask about a group dinner or 2. I know that in RM if you have a group greater than 10 you have to choose a set menu. Not sure if that’s the same in PV.
I’ll check on the policy for gold bands.
My daughter enjoyed PV and found the food to be very good.

“I was at the grand Palladium last week for 2 wks .it was the best holiday we have ever had the staff can not do enough for you. We were treated like vips. The place is spotless food out of this world and a wide choice of bars. All the staff were fantastic right from the management down to the gardeners. Would recommend this place to anyone.”
Pat if you decide on this resort let me known. I’ll get more info. Have you been following Peter’s posts? Food looks amazing.
Louise, Peter says,
“The food is great. I felt the same way since our first trip in 2013. Excellent food in Vallarta”
Thank you for introducing yourself Rosy. You do a fabulous job in answering questions. We are happy to have you here.
AnneHi Pat,
I’ll find out about the gold bracelet. It is 8 visits in RM and 10 visits in PC so not entirely sure. See if I can get the scoop on Dinner but it is likely you’ll need to break into groups of 10 or under to eat together (and avoid a set menu).
Excited for you and your family. When do you plan go?
Excellent guac there
I have confirmed with someone just back that thee are stairs to the beach. There are some ramps on the PV side but guests would likely have to use stairs.
Is Punta Cana or Jamaica a possibiity? No stairs at all at those.
Hi Pat,
Welcome back,
I believe the water is not potable so you have to depend on bottled water.
I believe the Jr suites have sleep sofas. Some standard rooms have regular sofas so not good for sleeping.
It has a very good kids club. I believe you must use stairs to the beach. Someone who has been there can confirm.
My daughter enjoyed a day trip to Sayulita which is a fun beachside community. I believe she went there via taxi.
Forgot to mention. There is one a la carte designated as adult only per night so
you might want to check that list which is kept at Guest Services.
Here at the moment have the best holiday ever. The hotel staff and food can not be faulted . We have been totally spoilt. Thank you
Hi Dianne,
Yes. They’ll provide a high chair. I was there once with an adorable 2 year old who loved the sushi! When you make the reservation mention you’ll have 2 little people. (pic by Viv)

Every time I come to RM I am more impressed with the Palladium. They’re always stepping it up. Juice Bar at the Spa at the infinity pool is great! They also now have Captain Morgan’s rum at all bars. My home away from home!
If you’re going to the Palladium between now & November be sure and bring a turtle safe light so you can watch the nesting/hatching at night
They loan snorkel equipment for one hour oer day. If you plan to snorkel a lot or go to Akumal or off resort then it’s best to bring your own equipment.
Hi Damika and welcome!
You can snorkel from the resort beach. Have the bellboys drive you and leave you off at the Kantenah beach. Right in front of the Mayan suites there you can snorkel. There is a reef a little deeper out. You can also walk to the salt water pool (south) and snorkel there. You can take a snorkel trip through the on-site dive shop or take a taxi to Akumal Bay and snorkel there (no tour needed)
You can easily get to Tulum on your own via colectivo (public van) or taxi and hire a guide there. If you want to do Coba, Chichen Itza, Ek Balaam or other ruins you can hire a private guide like Monica
or hire a private company such as Agi Tours to customize something for you.
I hope this helps.
