Beautiful 5* Resort
Gemma1978xx on Oct 29, 2024
This is my first time staying in Grand Palladium Kantenah and I can honestly say I have had the most amazing holiday! A special shout out to Duice, Emmanuel , Ricardo and Aulia who organised a memorable lunch for me and my friends - we was even treated to a bottle of champagne and cake! Their efforts in going above and beyond for each of us did not go unnoticed - all a real credit to the Grand Palladium Kentanah team! All the members of staff are so friendly and attentive! The cleanliness of the hotel is second to none and majority of the food in the buffet is cooked right in front of you with a great selection at every meal! Oh yeah - they host great beach parties too ??! I am a travel advisor and I will definitely be recommending this hotel to my customers - thank you Grand Palladium Kantenah!
Great resort needs a few improvements.
Mike P (Vaughan, Canada) on Oct 27, 2024
We just returned from a week at the Grand Palladium Grand Kantenah, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The resort is beautifully clean and well-maintained, with a sprawling property that grants access to additional resorts, offering even more restaurants and pools to enjoy. The staff were truly outstanding—friendly, attentive, and always eager to help, which contributed to our overall feeling of safety and comfort. However, while we had a relaxing time, there were a few areas that could use improvement. The food was decent but lacked the exceptional quality we experienced during a previous stay in Mexico about ten years ago. Additionally, we often encountered long lines at the bars, particularly at the lobby bar, where we waited over 20 minutes for a drink due to only one bartender being on duty. Booking the à la carte restaurants was a frustrating experience, as many were fully booked or closed, and you could only reserve two at a time. The main buffet also had lengthy wait times, which was disappointing. Upon check-in, we were immediately approached with a sales pitch for room upgrades, which felt a bit pushy. Over the next few days, we noticed a stark difference in treatment between upgraded guests and standard guests. The variety of upgrade options—Family Selection, TRS, Rewards Members, Club Members—was confusing, and it left us feeling undervalued as standard guests. Ultimately, we chose to upgrade to Family Selection for the last three days of our stay, which did offer some additional perks and slightly better treatment, but we still questioned whether the upgrade was worth it. Additionally, we encountered staff members in blue shirts who approached us numerous times with offers of free extras in exchange for attending a presentation. While they started off friendly, the pressure to attend the presentation for their club membership, which they insisted was not a timeshare, was uncomfortable. Lastly, despite us not having very high expectations the resort’s five-star rating, I believe falls short of that standard. Having stayed at various five-star hotels, I can confidently say this resort feels more like a 3.5 to 4-star property at best. In summary, while we enjoyed our time at the Grand Palladium Grand Kantenah and appreciated the beautiful setting and friendly staff, there are definitely areas that need improvement to enhance the overall guest experience.
