TripAdvisor Traveler Rating

We stayed at the Grand Palladium Vallarta Resort and Spa from Nov 17 to 27. My brother and his wife who we vacationed with, had stayed at the resort multiple times over the past 15 years and the concierge team did some special things for them which was appreciated! The Concierge Team Manager, Priscilla, was outstanding in the service she provided and was friendly and helped us to book golf for two at the Flamingo. HATS OFF to Priscilla - we were grateful for the exceptional service she provided! Armando, the daytime bartender at the adult pool bar, Tony and staff in the El Bosque (buffet) were fantastic. For a la carte restaurants, the International Cuisine and Bamboo were superb! You can make a la carte reservations one week at a time. The resort is walkable and has some great views. The beach is great!

Jose in the travel bar made our family vacation. Super nice guy that would make anything we asked and we were sharing recipes and family stories all the time. Great laugh and attitude- 5 +stars for him alone

The resort is 40 minutes from PVR. The shuttle service was excellent. Check-in was quick. We were able to access the buffet while we waited for our room. Bell service was super courteous and stored our luggage while we waited for our room. The room was ready 1 hour early, which was great. The beach and the pools had plenty of available chairs. The ocean was warm and clean. If you have accessibility needs, there are many ramps; however, expect many inclines to the rooms and declines to the beach. The food was excellent, with a wide variety at the main buffet, and the four à la carte dishes were tasty. Vendors came throughout the week, on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and were at the beach. You could use boogie boards, kayaks, and paddleboards at no extra cost at the beach. Towel service was available at the pool. The entertainment was fun. Bring white clothes for the white party. The rooms were very nice and clean, and the mini-fridge included complimentary beverages, including bottled water and non-alcoholic options. I recommend bringing plenty of sunscreen and your own toilet paper if you're sensitive to scented toilet paper. This trip, I packed a backpack and a purse. I would suggest a rolling carry-on and a backpack. You'll want to bring a week's worth of toiletries and clean clothes, including space for souvenirs. It is a great family resort for all ages — lots of families, couples, and older individuals. They offer an adult area accessible to everyone, including a kids' water park. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone!

Great Vacation , good service. great food. I am planning to comeback with my family in 2026. Hope they keep service level

Spent time with family. 3 year old grand daughter had lots of fun. Lots of activities for children. Service was great. Nice pools to cool of in and for exercise. Meals were very tasty.
