    The hotel is directly at the beach, the clean and tidy is. You can free of charge with the catamaran, pedal boats and canoe go. To Playa del Carmen for shopping one drives about half an hour with the shuttle bus-bus for 35 Peso per person. We had a 2 -daytrip after merida, uxmal, izamal and zone of chichen-itza booked, in which you a lot about the Maya experiences.

We were for 5'. Palladium complex Mexico, this time we had the Riviera booked. We were as before, we were already in the colonial and in the royal suites, in any way disappointed. The complex is a dream, very well-kept and on every corner it is worth it, look to see what the nature so offers. We also found a beautiful cared for beach landscape. The staff are everywhere very friendly, the food as usual varied and of good quality. We had a spacious, beautiful good equipped junior suite on the beach. read more

Ballermann in the Caribbean beach

  • March 2012
Thanks dozens American and Spanish students came at least in the afternoon a 'ballermann feeling' on. Were the drunk students in groups (in and out of pools) and bawled noisy around. In addition it was in their environment rather dirty, so that the industrious Charwomen of the hotel not at all against to arrived. The main restaurant ' Kabah ' reminds of the volume and the decor strongly of a cafeteria. Eat is simply not possible (even without loud students!). The beach was clean, but as already often mentioned it is in the water very stony. Here you have to ... the hotel Kantenah walk, where you can very good into the water go. We were due to the strong volume in the hotel after 9 days an upgrade to the royal suites booked. There was clearly pleasant live and eat. We can the hotel basically recommend, however you should definitely not in the spring break time (February to CIRCA middle April) travel there. read more

We were already in the dominican republic at the grand palladium babaro. For this reason we have made a conscious decision to this hotel decided. It is the same nice hotel, no large hotel complex, but smaller ' villas ', friendly staff and great service. Only the guests i partly to be desired, and it is through the managemenbt nothing against done. Men naked torso evenings at ... the lobby bar, men with caps on the head in the à-la-carte -restaurants and americans, the at the bars with thermogefäßen (like small bierfächens look), half liters and liter way whisky and cocktails bottling leave them on and in the pool to consume. Have lunch was a screaming at the pools and at the beach since the alkoholspiegel already quite high. In the afternoon was for a few hour peace, they slept around evenings again to be prepared. It is in the buffet restaurants no dress code! Only evenings the men t-shirts or shirts, with short sleeves. Accordingly was the clothes partly. Sweaty sportswear, women in clothing not times the a.

These groups were observed by the staff, intervened was however not. Shortly before our departure seemed to a travel group of 200! Young spanish arrived. You can imagine what was going on in this hotel. Unfortunately there is also a bar on the beach which 24 hours on day hours-and our villa was unfortunately not very far from the beach section away. Almost any night between 04:30 a. m. and 06:00 a. m. moved various drunk, bawling groups at our villa past. For people with light sleep terrible. I am unfortunately also. We have with other guests spoken. We were all agreed, that the beach bar not 24 hours open should be, the thermosfäser for filling the cocktails should be banned and the dress code should be appropriate. Not the now i misunderstand me, i expect definitely not suit and evening dress or cocktailkleider the women (that would be no vacation for me ), but just appropriate clothes for a 5 stars hotel. No guests the on the couch in the lobby place to sit and the feet on the tables or easy on the sofa like at home in front of the tv.

    In the bathroom should be a thorough cleaning of the floor show. It was wiped every day, but with the time, but the dirt in the joints of the tiles from (times toilet paper got wet and the tiles risks-the paper was black). The staff has but the hands of work and for such wall not any time. The air conditioning has somehow musty smell. We have therefore never turned on. The system would have since checked and cleaned. The furniture is run-down and should urgently be replaced ( definitely not more 5-star standard). Mattress of the bed was excellent. Size of the room was more than enough. In the bathroom are toilet paper holder and toilet brush broken and rusty. Shower was clean. Since the tiles not up to the ceiling and no window in the bathroom can be opened is a bit mold over the shower on the wall.

    Food was really good. Selection was always very big and it was again and again refilled. What we noticed, there is only fillets of fish in sauces or huge fish, from which you a piece of has declined. But unfortunately never fish the on the whole grilled in size a dorade or so in about. The water has most of the time chlorine tasty and we didn't manage this drink. Only in the minibar ppo daily water also drinkable was.

    Chairs were always abundant at the beach as well as by the pool. Animation offers there was enough. And every evening a entertaining show. The loungers on addult were especially good, but unfortunately partly already broken, and the repairs it was also not far. At the main pool was the first days the music terribly noisy. Probably have guests over the volume weighted, the volume was suddenly reduced significantly. The adult pools was only in low lautstärk 'treated to music'. However have sometimes guests the private radios and in full volume turned up (in addition to the official 'speaker sounds'). This was by the staff also not forbidden.

    Ds hotel was ideal for excursions. Right in the hotel entrance ( hotel kantenah) is a bus stop for the collektivos (buses of the locals). One goes simply out and all 5 to 10 minutes comes a bus over. You can wonderful go on excursions ( on your own). Shops in Playa del Carmen ( bus costs 30 pesos) and to Tulum also 30 pesos. Also a nice town and mayaruine Tulum was there too. Beach there is obviously at the hotel, unfortunately not for swimming, since the reef was near to the beach and access to the sea made difficult because of the rocks-but you already know that.

To be honest: we still have very rarely a really great hotel regarding service, pool/beach, gastronomy and location experienced. The junior suite we upgedradet was up to small faults top.

    We had and the kantenah booked, were but immediately when checking in pointed out, that a junior suite with a view of the sea against small extra charge available is. Therefore we refer here to the junior suite in the Riviera area. Very spacious room with air-conditioning, Fan and a large bathroom with jacuzzi. Especially the jacuzzi was special after a long trip or excursion valuable services proven and we really relaxed. unfortunately there are however here a few the smaller and a large point of criticism, the in our opinion in a junior suite the price range not happened. first the smaller points of criticism: the mini bar was not every day filled, towels or bathrobes the soil for the change were thrown, are not renewed. The room was not every day cleaned, special the floor! Now the big point of criticism: as mentioned in the summary at the beginning: noise! In this complex the walls are very thin and to boot is everywhere Stone floors the noise still additional more. By the open architecture of the accommodations, it echoed quite powerful. Unfortunately, at the beginning of our second week of vacation plenty of teenagers to 100% on party apart in our House/floor smoothly. Sleeping was from this time not longer think. Instructions or complaints regarding that in the front desk but were taken care of immediately and a private employee was immediately skilled to sort it out. Awake but you nevertheless already. After consultation with many other guests is the problem with noise but apparently not an isolated incident. here could the hotel through very simple methods, own accommodation for groups of young people or the partly from carpets, improve clearly.

  • Gastronomy
    6.0

    I think with the variety of restaurants and possibilities should something for everyone his. Because of the high number of restaurants is also available for enough variety catered for. In the buffet-style restaurant, there are every day theme nights, really sensational and authentic are the à-la-carte restaurants. Here we have the Japanese and Mexican restaurant and the steakhouse most visited and can unlimited recommend it. Great is especially, that at any time without reservation can go, only the steakhouse one must sometimes with longer waiting times count, but simply at the numerous bars can bridge, the real Highlights in the gastronomy are but the fish and seafood restaurant at the sea and the beach barbecue (only Friday). Here is in any case a reservation at the vortag necessary, for men in the à-la-carte restaurants long trousers!

  • Service

    Rarely one vacation with so great service experienced, no matter, whether at the front desk or in the numerous restaurants. The staff are always friendly, helpful and has always an smile on the lips. Which one only with tip get ahead, we can 't understand!

  • Sport & Entertainment
    6.0

    Sport possibilities more than enough, there was a private sport center in the area where you for example tennis, Basketball, Football, Archery, and so on can do. At the beach there is a private diving school (Scuba dive) with many sport possibilities. Especially good we liked, that many water sports activities as pedal boats, kayak, sailing, and so on are free. Snorkeling tours can also be booked here. entertainment and entertainment is not importunate and according to our observations the pool games very varied and amusing. especially we really liked the fact that to everyone time of day always free beach chairs available were and thus the annoying Handtuchbelegen not here experienced must be. Pool or the whole area are very clean! beach is very large and therefore very pleasant quiet and perfect for relaxing. Everywhere hang furthermore Hammocks the especially comfortable are. Swimming in the sea but should in any case only with bathing shoes or fins show as the reefs or rocks very quickly. To the snorkeling it is perfect and you can here lots of different fish. in the evening there are time-delayed 2 shows for a hotel complex very high quality and were partly really astonished have.

    the hotel lies about 1 hour away from airport Cancun (with little traffic). The complex is huge, if you rotten is can one the paths by trolley or Golfcabs cover. We have the routes usually on foot reclined, of our suite were about 10 minutes to the beach or 10 to 20 minutes to the restaurants. Options for shopping there is nearby for example in Playa del Carmen, which by bus to 30 pesos/person in 20 minutes reachable is. Excursions are plentiful in the area on the tour operators or right in the hotel bookable. We have solely the chitchen Itza tour via hotel( recommendable nonetheless since even only by hired car simply reachable), Tulum without Reiseveranstaltet explored, since also easily accessible by bus to 30 Pesos reachable. especially we were impressed by the stunning flora and fauna in the area. If you open your eyes stops many 'wild' animals, such as iguanas, racoons, coatis, Racoons,... See. Particularly the Paths wooden jetties through the mangrove forests are very impressive.

We have since hotel because of the good reviews on holidaycheck booked. There were also some critical voices for everyone, but there are always. All in all it is OK there are only 2 points why we not again would come: first beach- you can really only with bathing shoes into the water and then partly not really, since large rocks (30-40 centimeter) are. Also, it is by the Bay hotel really deep, so that you also don't really swim. Second the food is oK, but unfortunately very Großküchenqualität. read more

The furniture was rather standard no suite. The à la carte restaurants were great the buffet rather standard.

    our room in the house 60 was ideal, which the paths to the beach, pool or buffet restaurant regards. the room was huge, the bed as well. the furniture was reasonable, the TV not from the latest generation and the reception from' German wave tv' was more bad than good. the bathroom is also very big, a shower the loosely for 2 at the same time place offers and a Jacuzzi, which we however didn't use it. ( however we could the neighbors every day hear.) The mirror the bathroom had unfortunately already senile lentigo and the place to put the towel is rusting, but overall it was OK.

So if you like, with our complaint well handled and it was immediately taken care of. Also we asked then to a new, thorough cleaning of the room. This was the day to complete.

    Since the complex very big is the houses different a long way from the beach away. We were in the house 61 and were very happy with the location. The Riviera all houses are on sea location. However it is up to the fine sandigen beach a short walk cIRCA 3 to 6 minutes (depending on location of the house), since the Riviera on a steinküste is. But very, very nice. We would in no other complex live. In this steinküste is a salt water- pool recessed. A dream! Approximately 20 minutes on foot from the complex is Playa del Carmen. For shopping and strolling quite nice. Also Puerto Aventuras is nearby!

In every respect a top hotel. We especially like to highlight, in the à la carte restaurants do not need to reserve. You can go back and get a seat in the restaurant or a pager. As soon as the table then free the pager is fired and you get a place in the restaurant. Generally large and well-kept area in top condition. read more
