The Grand Palladium was in a great location, the junior suite was clean and maintained throughout the stay by the staff! Very friendly staff that helped with any questions!
There are more ethical resorts that prioritize guests over profits available.
BabyBoats27 (Novato, California) on Feb 26, 2026
Wife and I stayed here for a friend's wedding. There was a total of more than 50 people in our party. It was during the El Mencho shelter in place order so a unique experience but at its core the reason for the negative review is Grand Palladiums poor business ethics. They charged some guests 3X the standard rate when they had no choice but to stay due to shelter in place order. Other resorts offered discounted rates or gave a free night in the same situation. Some guests who arrived late did not have a room at all and/or did not receive a refund for nights they were not there. We booked a panoramic ocean view room at nearly $400/night but had a partial ocean view. Mostly overlooking the pool and bar. The room was set way back on the property, bathroom had mold, smelled, and AC did not work well. Food options were limited but this is understandable given the circumstance. Everyone had to be flexible during such a situation but I feel that the hotel took advantage and prioritized profits over doing the right thing. During check out we were told that they were not going to make any accomodations or give any refunds for because it wasn't their fault. I understand that but it also wasn't the fault of your guests either. A more ethical business would have worked with their guests and used the opportunity to build loyalty. Other resorts did this. The Grand Palladium did not.
