Ongoing construction and room cleanliness
D K (San Francisco, California) on Dec 06, 2024
Beware of the reconstruction of the entire pool area. There is constant construction noise and they put you in rooms that face ugly construction fences. Of course, they will not warn you about this ahead of time. Also, cleanliness of the rooms is suspect. We even sent them photos of huge amounts of dust on our bed headboard, and they did not take care of it during our entire week-long stay. Pretty poor.
Another Great Stay at Palladium
wendyi (Calgary, Canada) on Dec 05, 2024
Sitting in the airport waiting to fly home so figured I’d write my review. This was our 7th time visiting GP. We were in building 59 White sand section. We were aware of renovations taking place at White Sand and had no issues with it. We don’t typically hang out at the white sand pool anyways as we prefer the livelier atmosphere at the colonial pool so it really didn’t affect us. It was a bit of a further walk to the lobby as the short cuts were blocked off by the construction but we didn’t mind the walk, if you wanted a lift there were tons of carts around to take you. Overall food was good and as expected for a budget friendly all inclusive. Our favourite buffet was LaDahlia. It’s a bit smaller and not as much selection but it’s not near as busy as Colonial. For a la carts this trip we did tennpanaki, Brazilian, Italian and Argentinian. The best food was at the Argentinian but the service there was bad. We waited an hour for our appetizers. The best a la cart service we got was at the Italian restaurant, our server,Hipolito, was so attentive and so nice. Best cocktails were of course from Jedi at Churchill’s and best lobby coffees were from the white sand lobby. We arrived on the 25th and although we were there for American Thanksgiving the resort never felt overly busy. We had no issues finding chairs together even in the shade. The towel game wasn’t being played here. Still tons of wildlife. We were lucky enough to see the monkeys again this trip. If you see my buddy “Freddy” the cat that lives outside building 59 give him a treat for me. We’ve been buddies for a couple of years now and he’s always there to greet me and follows me back to my room most nights, we don’t let him in our room but he does try. Our room was cleaned daily and we always had lots of towels and a full fridge. No issues at all with our building or room except the power flickered off a few times on two separate nights. Service was great all around. From Ernesto at the concierge desk who helped us book a birthday reservation for our friends, to Jedi and Fernanda my favourite bartenders at Churchill’s. Also our server at the pool I feel terrible I cannot remember her name. She was great she had the mojitos coming everyday! Other shootouts to Hector at the Japanese restaurant and Hipolito at the Italian restaurant. At LaDali Kathya greeted us each morning with a huge smile and was always so welcoming and our waiter, unfortunately I cannot remember his name I think it was Eugene or very similar to that. He was always chatty and aided us with our mediocre Spanish by teaching us a new word or saying everytime he waited on us. We also spent a day at the spa. We had a couples massage with Syndie and Carmen and they were so good and we spent most of the day at the hydrotherapy/ pool area and lounging in the hammocks. Highly recommend it. It was very relaxing. Overall it was another great trip. Not 100% perfect but nothing is. We are already planning trip #8!
