Family Selection At Grand Palladium Kantenah Resort & Spa - All Inclusive

We just returned from 6 days at the Grand Palladium Kantenah Family selection and we have been sad all day, we miss it. This is a fantastic resort only outshined by the people that work there. They are the real reason to visit. Emmanuel, Luis and Rogelio are the best butlers, taking care of restaurant reservations (if you want, The NEST was the BEST with Keniya, Jorge, Antonio, Gustavo, Xcehl, Carla, Faranda to make sure you feel special!)The family selection option is totally worth it, with a private beach and bar (with Joel and Danny to take care of everything) pool with restaurant and bar, and the dining room (NEST) for breakfast and dinner with buffet and menu options. We were lucky enough to get a beach side room with a private rooftop pool in Villa 40, the best building by far. Sitting in the pool, listening to waves and looking out to the ocean over palm tree tops is serious rock star living. Highly recommended. The beach is wide with plenty of chairs with umbrella huts, never an issue finding shade. Main pool shade was more difficult at times, but not impossible. And that pool is great, huge with a water park feature my kids loved! The family selection pool is nice as well, smaller for little kids, but still big enough for some space. Food is good and plentiful, even little buffets pop up at the main pool. Nice boardwalk through eco zones with trees and animals in nature between buildings that's fun. My family really felt special here, thank you Grand Palladium!

Family-friendly

Amazing stay Stayed in Villa 40 swim up suit Brilliant room lots of space Food was great Service was also great Cant wait.to go back Special shout to iur 3 concierge in Villa 40 for looking after us and making our stay so special

The staff at this property is warm, inviting and very helpful. They will go out of their way to make sure your every need is met as best as possible. The rooms and facilities are very clean and well kept. The property itself has many beautiful buildings, landscaping and Koi ponds. We really enjoyed our stay and will miss the awesome hospitality!

Loved everything about our trip.

Had an amazing time with our family. The only feedback - we booked a family selection room with a swimup pool. It would be nice if there was some privacy separation between the pool of our neighbors. We had instances where our neighbors were in front of our pool area, basically viewing inside of our room. Other than that, everything was perfect.

Trip dates: Aug 1–6, 2025. Family of 4, teens 15 & 17. Resort looks great but lacks follow-through. We were assigned the wrong bed type (one king) and had to push for a room change. Food quality is a major issue—cold, bland, and very small portions. I got food poisoning from the Sports Bar and was sick for 24 hours. Family Selection restaurant (The Nest) was slow and inedible. Pools are mixed—Colonial is too deep, Family Selection overcrowded, but White Sands pool was the best part of the resort. Drink quality poor at most bars except Churchill’s in Kantenah lobby. Also got stuck in a 2-hour Travel Club sales pitch just for massage vouchers—not worth it. Overall, disappointing stay. Won’t return.

Butler service was amazing. Hotel grounds are amazing. Restaurants were great. Staff are awesome

Los tragos no les estan echando alcohol. Son agua . El steak que ellos llaman ribeye es como una chuleta de puerco y el buffet toda la comida es fria.

We were a party of 16 and it was very hard to make dinner reservations to eat all together, even at the buffet. The rooms are on the smaller side. The bathrooms have very little counter space. The staff doesnt try to accomedate with any request. Beach is not swimeable, too much sea weed.
