Our stay at the Grand Palladium Select was great. Upon arrival we were greeted for our exclusive check in by JUAN who gave us a rundown of the resort and helped us to our rooms. Juan made this trip amazing by being extremely responsive and helpful the whole stay. Juan was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and we would return for the service he provided!
The resort itself was very large- the romance suite was gorgeous and the outdoor showier was super unique and fun. The staff throughout the resort work very hard and are all friendly as well. Only complaint would be somewhat slow service at some of the bars- but it’s vacation it’s not a huge deal! The food was hit or miss at the a la carte restaurants- Argentinian, Tapenyaki and Italian were all great. The buffet food was good, you could tell it was fresh!
The pool entertainment staff were lots of fun! I would recommend better night time entertainment as this resort didn’t seem to offer any night time shows.
Overall we had a great stay and were very grateful for the service provided by Juan!

We stayed in the family suite section of the resort. Pros: The staff bell boys, pool, some front desk, beach and spa were great. The food was a 7/10 overall. There is also a huge selection of restaurants on the resort. Cons: the resort is massive! And there was limited transportation to maneuver around. So easy to get lost and got lost twice. It was difficult to get a golf cart to go places and the system was so unorganized. As soon as night hits, it’s hard to get in touch with someone for a ride unless you have a bell boy’s number to contact. They do all the work. All the higher ups tried to sell you to partner with them (basically a timeshare) don’t do it they will try to steal your money. Glad I didn’t and they lie and say it’s a welcome breakfast but they want to actually sell you a lie to buy a timeshare and it took up most of our time in the morning (4 hours to be exact). Also I had the swim up room… and after 2 days of staying there we saw cockroaches!! Yes cockroaches! We immediately demanded a new room and it took us 4 hours at 10pm to get in contact with someone at the front desk and I had to text the bell boy who were off. It’s just ridiculous. Then we were downgraded and claimed to not be able to find a room on that level. Also before that they offered to fumigate the room… what??!! I took pics of multiple ones and if I didn’t they would call me a liar. That tells me this was not the first complaint and they don’t care to fix it. I don’t recommend this resort.

Everything was amazing. Our butler Rafael went out of his way to make our family (couple with 2 kids) comfortable and welcome. From restaurant reservations to small gifts for kids he took care of everything for us. Our flight got cancelled and he assisted us with additional accommodation. Overall the property is beautiful with lot of pools, activities for every age group through the day. Very clean, and one of the best properties we have been too. Definitely a must visit if coming to Punta Cana.

Service at the hotel was consistently great. Juan was our concierge - very responsive, handled the birthday surprise arrangements well, quickly responded when there was a room issue - best hotel experience so far. Beach was beautiful, beds were extremely comfortable, food options particularly at Kusko and La Boheme were great.

We definitely enjoyed our stay at the palladium. Our concierge Rafael was especially awesome and made our stay here exceptional. Along with Luis and several other staff they all made our trip fantastic. I must say however that I was truly disappointed that there was no food from the Dominican Republic. The food taste at most of the restaurants is very underwhelming. To get good food you must leave the resort. The buffet places are pretty good but otherwise the food is disappointing. The pools were nice but we spent most of our time at Helios beach club at the TRS Turquesa where the pools and beach are kid free😁. Great place to stay just ask Rafael for the best places to eat😁. Enjoy!!!

Very beautiful and large resort. Covered walkways to protect from rain. Great sporting area (Basketball, Table tennis, Tennis, pickle ball, soccer, chess, volleyball, archery lessons, mini golf and many more)
Restaurants - Loved eating at the Boghali Indian restaurant. Beach side restaurant Poseidon was awesome. Buffet food throughout the 4 resorts combined, was amazing and one of the best so far in all inclusive anywhere.
Room was brand new, spacious, with latest amenities and great Service. Staff in the resort was very friendly, smiling and helpful.
Expedia Representative - Juan was amazing. He helped with everything and highly recommend to contact him if you are in this resort. Thank you Juan. He made everything possible.

Very friendly staff, always there ready to serve. Although, not everyone is well informed of each guests’ wrist bands and don’t know what’s included in their package and what’s not. Amenities are great, lots of options in terms of food. Beach is the center stage! Clean turquoise waters! Lots of water activities within reach. The only problem is the room. It smelled moldy when we arrived but they managed to clean after we informed the front desk. Also, there were cockroaches. Also got turned with the forceful sales tactics of their travel club staff. Wasted half a day with their orientation. This is our time for a family vacation!

I'm a punta Cana lover, this hotel was the worst, with the exception of Juan my concierge and the cleaning crew of my room. The food was tasteless and cold , the service at the buffet and restaurant terrible they didn't have enough stuff and supplies, one of the waitress reuse a cloth napkins from one customer to another, that was disgusting. The floor in the corridor was uneven and sometimes with no illumination. The TV , the app, the cable didn't work properly, and cut the TV service earlier before my check out. The pool in my room was much smaller than what is show in the picture. The hotel is beautiful but it have a very bad management.

Los restaurantes y la comida bien. Solo en ocasiones nos encontramos con moscas volado sobre el bufete.
El personal muy amable. El Hotel en general y las albercas muy bonitas.
Hubo detalles en las habitaciones, como: se quedaba sin luz, cuando limpiaban no lo hacían completo (no se llevaban la basura del baño, o no dejaban papel, no dejaban toallas para las manos). Y el día del check out, aún no salíamos y ya habían bloqueado el acceso a los canales de TV.
Las distancias entre las villas (habitaciones) y los restaurantes o actividades de entretenimiento, son largas y el servicio de carritos no es muy coordinado.
