We had a good time just because the weather was beautiful and so was the beach/ocean view, but the rooms were NOT NICE. They are very antiquated and the bathrooms and floors show it. The closet areas were VERY musty smelling, bad enough to have to hold your breath. The buffets were very common, not sure what we were eating... more

To me, the palladium vallarta is awesome. I worked there for 6 months and I know what goes on behind the scenes so these people that are saying "mediocre blah blah blah..try doing what these people do for over 14 hours a day 6 days a week and do better. Please, PLEASE tip the waiters, bartenders and maids and dont... more

After reading the negative reviews, especially regarding service, I was definitely worried. Even more so, when we arrived and was told they didn't have our reservation on file and would have to wait until everyone else was checked in to resolve the problem (i was first in line and we arrived at about 5am) We were eventually told we were... more

I paid for two weeks and it said I only had 4 alacart meals but when I got there the alacart meals were UNLIMITED. The food was awesom. Well I read many reviews before I went and I was upset because the tickets were already bought; however, when I got there I was extremely shocked at all that was offered.... more

My husband and I took a last minute trip to the palladium in January. Overall we had a really great time. If you want to try out an AI resort away from the liveliness of the city, this is a good option. It was a decently quick and cheap ride out to puerto vallarta, very doable. We were impressed by... more

Good spot, beautiful Mexico west side, sunset and sunrise. Good surf in front of the hotel.... Old room, we hear the next rooms, we here the outside noise, not super clean. Food is ok but always the same buffet is offered. 3 restaurants, medium quality. Food service is super. Hotel service is bad. The beach is not always clean, the... more

We were married at the Palladium Vallarta on April 22/09. When we booked out trip we were looking for something inexpensive for our families. We booked and then read many many reviews about the hotel on trip advisor. Well to say the very least we were terrified about what we had gotten our selfs and our families into. Over the... more

We just returned from a fantastic week at the Royal Suites - our 1st time staying in the Royal Suites and 4th time at the Palladium Resort. The Royal Suites is an exclusive section within the facilities of the Palladium Vallarta Resort for adults only. This is definitely a place for couples; no kids in the Royal side. Very quiet,... more

This is a very beautiful resort from the outside and for the price. However, that's where the enchantment ends. The food was horrible (All inclusive) we got food poisening twice during our stay (6 days). Our room was mediocre at the least. The sliding glass door would not close completely (Left a gap of one inch and would not lock).... more
