Saturday most location. At Riviera Maya it is near the Colonial beach bar. At TRS it is near the south end of the Infiniti pool.
Just to clarify as I have a few emails with questions about Family Select:
Family Select is an upgrade. FS guests receive extra amenities such as concierge, alcohol in rooms, private pool & beach area, access to The Nest, NIU restaurant & snack bar. FS adults may use the TRS adult only restaurants. All FS guests have access to all of Kantenah, Colonial & White Sand (except Travel Club lounge).
Kantenah guests in 41 – 47 don’t have access to Family Select areas but do have access to all of Colonial & White Sand.
Please download the APP to see menus & activities. Family Select guests should check Grand Palladium Riviera Maya as well as TRS Yucatan. APP
Hi Amanda,
Welcome. I don’t recommend shipping anything as it can take months or forever to get there. I suggest that people either ask their driver to stop at Walmart from airport to the hotel (if you have a private transfer) or to take a taxi to the nearby Chedraui once there. The Chedraui is a large supermarket type store in Puerto Adventuras about 10 minutes from the hotel.
There is no firm date but it should be opening sometimes during your stay. In the meantime they have some fun inflatables for the kids
Bravo is scheduled to open on the 29 Nov. We don’t have a menu yet. It should be on the map soon under “Gastronomy”. Grand Palladium App.
Evangeline I was told the coffee shop will open in “the coming months”.
La Paisana will open in December in the Ribs n More location
Clarification Building 40 will replace 33 & 34. The Signature suite will be there.
From Beatriz:
“Petit Chef Will be a new experience we will have at Grand Palladium. And La Paisana will be instead of Ribs and More.”
Sorry Evangaline I accidentally deleted your post. I will send an email and try to get more details on the opening.
The Grand opening for Family Select will be in December except for building 40 which will open in May.
I do not have a date for the coffee shop. I know the offee shop in CM has pastries, sandwiches and other goodies.
Guests in 41 to 47 don’t have access to Family Select amenities. They have access to everything at Colonial & White Sand. Those rooms (41-47) will have been renovated
Here is a video. I don’t have much info beyond this. I believe the entertainment is professional similar to the Chic dancers.
Rinconcito will become part of the Family Select. You can still use the adult only pools on Colonial called “secret” pool.

There is a food allergy program. When you check in tell them about the allergy and they will give you a card to show your servers & the chef. With a peanut allergy I’d ask to speak to the chef as sometimes they cook in peanut oil.
The dress code is casual, ie no wet bathing suits, cover ups & footwear. The only place that requires long trousers for men with closed toe shoes is Chic Cabaret. (adults only)
Welcome!
You will love this resort. It is especially beautiful at Christmas.

Here is the map. There are 4 family sections. Kantenah Family Select is opening in December. It is a VIP area for families. It is in the yellow section. Yellow buildings 41-47 will not be FS. hey will be part of the Grand Palladium which give you access to everything except Family Select & the adult only TRS.
The Colonial (blue) & White Sand (pink) are also family resorts. Most activities take place at Colonial where the kids club & water park are located. Colonial has garden rooms and Jr suites (8,9,20,21) which would give you extra space & a sleep sofa. WS has all Jr suites & suites (2 rooms)
There is a fabulous Gala dinner on Christmas Eve, Sample: Christmas Eve

This issue comes up often.
I am slao asked which currency to use. Mexican pesos is the local currency. It is easier for staff to have pesos as they pay most of their bills in pesos and many don’t have a bank account. If it is not possible to get pesos then US dollars are widely accepted. No foreign coins please as they cannot be used in Mexico.
Non TRS Travel Club guests in Amabssador Suites & Signature level are not charged a fee for room service.
Once you are there you can book your dinner reservations on the App. The restaurant schedules come out on Saturday night/Sunday morning so you can take that into consideration and make as many reservations as are available when you arrive. Ala cartes are still unlimited but have required reservations since Covid.
Hi Mike,
Be sure & download the App. You can use it to make dinner reservations once you arrive and see activities
Hi Mike,
Welcome. Yes, you can check in through their official website. How exciting!
Sorry I can’t answer this. You would have to contact the Rewards program directly.

Just getting ready to depart. Very sad. I was fortunate to watch a beautiful sunrise f r Helios. Manuel had my coffee & juice on the table immediately as I sat down. Daniel remembered my omelette. I had a lovely meal in Boheme last night. The onion soup never disappoints. I tried the coq e vin which was very good. Alex provided excellent service. After dinner I went by the Full Moon Bar to say hi to Mayra. There was a chef’s table set up which looked like fun. Off to a long travel day. Until next time!
