Grand Palladium Colonial/Kantenah/White Sands is a beautiful resort spread through the Mexican rainforest and along the beach. Just walking around the resort on the walkways through the jungle whilst spotting local wildlife is a joy.
The resort has a protected turtle nesting area and no dolphinarium. 👍
Pools are great, and our seven year old daughter loved the kids-only slide area. The beach has good shade and the sea is warm but there was low visibility whilst we were there, except for the early morning before the welcome cooling breeze picks up.
Staff are friendly and helpful, always welcoming with a smile and hello.
Buffet and a la carte food at the wide range of restaurants was fantastic (except the under-cooked pizza with unpalatable cheese), and loved by all the family.
We've been to some good 5* hotels and although this may not have the finesse of some, it was more than made up by the feel of the place. We immediately felt comfortable and welcome. A really fantastic holiday and we hope to return soon.
