OK, here is my stream-of-conciousness review: Our family (kids aged 8 and 9) travellead to the Palladium from April 4-12 and we had a great time. We have travelled to a few resorts and this one was by far the most family friendly. Our kids met other kids right away and had a blast with activities during the day and... more

I would not recommend this hotel to anyone - especially the main section. The Suites section of the hotel may be worth traveling to, however. It is what I would expect from an all inclusive resort. We were there with a large group, some of whom were staying in the Suites and others (primarily those with children) were in the... more

This was one of the best trips I have ever been on we traveled with the family parents and two teenage kids (19 and 16). The place had an awesome surfing beach and both kids took the lesson on the first day and then just signed out boards and if the instructor was out there he would still help if... more

Well first off. Our flight got into PV at 3 am and we were not at the resort till about 430am and we were not told that we were not going to have a room until we were on our way to the resort from the airport....no room?? You'd think that would be a main concern... they said that there... more

From the moment we arrived the stage was set for a wonderful vacation that included excellent service, helpful suggestions, and a full slate of activities. When we awoke our first morning we were greeted with a spectacular view of the pool area and ocean. The large tree that serves as the centerpiece of the pool area is especially beautiful at... more

First, we are very reasonable people. We travel a lot and know what we like and what to expect. Unfortunately, Palladium Vallarta was less than we expected. Check in: Apparently you can't check in until after 3pm. Some rooms are ready, others aren't available before that. Ours wasn't available until after - much after. We were travelling with a 3... more

This was our first trip to PV and it will not be our last. I had a few colleagues who stayed at Palladium over the past couple years and everyone felt the same way: "Great location, great amenities, great service, ok food". I would have to agree. However, the main decision maker for us was surfing at the resort. The... more

Found the Palladium Vallarta Resort very nice and was everything we read up on before we left. Our kids had a great time and the resort had excellent food and lots of activites to keep us all busy. The only one thing we complained about to the front desk was the nasty smell of sewege from time to time. The... more

For the price the Palladium Vallarta is pretty good, but I would only recommend staying in the Royal Suites as the rest of the resort is MUCH more crowded (or it was in January). The RS pool/beach/restaurant area is very nice, not crowded, and the service in the restaurant was very good. The gym was okay, it was a bit... more
