Wonderful Holiday!

We just returned on March 14th. Had a great time. We were booked into the Garden View hotel but got upgraded to Ocean View without even asking. The room was clean and well stocked with water and pop. The meals were good. We ate at the a la carte restaurants 3 times. They were great. The barbecue on the beach was wonderful. Chicken and ribs were fantastic.
The staff are very friendly. Beach was great and clean. We had nice waves at the end of the week. They were lots of fun. We would go back anytime.

Royal Suites is the BEST!

My wife and I having never been to Mexico before wanted to completely "unplug" and relax, relax, relax but just couldn't until we upgraded over to the Royal Suites! Once there, we could relax, relax, relax! The pool was cool but not cold, staff was fantastic!!, 3 a la carte meals/day, room service, drinks etc etc were 110%!!! We would not return to this resort unless we booked the Royal Suites!
If you want to get away from throngs of people, parties, loud music and would like to be the only person in the pool while a very nice cold beverage (with REAL alcohol) waits for you we strongly reccomend the Royal Suites!!!!
We ARE going back!!!

Great for Families

Just got back from the Palladium 1 week ago and am still dreaming of the wonderful time we had.
Before going, we read reviews and was not sure what to expect. If anyone was unsatisfied with this resort than their expectations are WAY to high!
Service&Food was excellent. Everything was well maintained.
This resort is not new, but it has a charm that you can't get from a new resort. Well matured&beautiful landscape made for some beautiful pictures.
The only downfall; a lot of stairs. If you have trouble with stairs- not the right resort for you.
The $1 bus ride to Bucerias is a bargain; There were people who stayed in Puerto Vallarta and went to Bucerias to shop. Apparently same stuff = better price!
All in all, I would go back and advise other people to try it out too!
