Graduation Trip 2024 - Connecting Suite/Rooms

Reviewed 3 weeks ago
Pros: The resort is very large because it is connected to the other two Grand Palladium resorts (Bavaro) and (Palace), plus has the Travelers Club within the campus. All are connected, but separated by style of rooms and slight variations in facilities. There are plenty of pools, restaurants, and facilities to keep you occupied. We appreciated the ability to utilize all facilities, restaurants, and pools at each one. The staff is amazing (lobby/check-in, restaurants, maintenance, housekeeping services, and all facilities)!!! They truly make the experience worthwhile and bump the rating to a '4'. Everyone is extremely friendly and appear sincere and willing to assist with every need.

We rented two rooms (connecting suite/room), and both were okay.

Cons: The rooms were slightly run down and worn, and could use a significant renovation. The tiles on the wall and around the base were very old/damaged and hastily 'repaired'. The shower drain (specifically in Room 6228) did not drain well, so anytime in the shower, you have to stand in water with concern it could overfill. The TV in one of our rooms (specifically Rm 6228) did not work until the fourth attempt to correct. The mini-refrigerator leaked frequently and should have been replaced long ago. All items were reported to Guest Services and the Check-In associates multiple times. (This was not due to lack of effort, but more to age/worn rooms and items in the room)

Additional Con: It appears on the weekends, the Grand Palladium grants day passes to guests not staying at the resort, and it is very apparent they (day pass guests) do not care or respect guests staying for longer periods. The pools seemed overrun and crowded on these days with unruly and misbehaving guests (adults and children) that make the experience less enjoyable. Luckily we schedule one of our excursions on one of the days, but we had to deal with it on another weekend day. The Grand Palladium should revisit this option or limit the day guest passes to help ensure guests traveling a long distance and for longer periods of time do not have to deal with this type of experience.

Our loft room never cooled down, the phone didnt work so when we had issues we always had to go to the lobby, the TV in the loft didnt work, and there were way too many people hassling you for money and trying to sell something everywhere we went.

Do not even know where to begin:
- We get to the resort at 2.30 pm only to get our rooms at 5.30 and throughout the process they just keep lying to your face or coming up with excuses. They were convincing us that the rooms are being cleaned for an hour. and it was already 5pm. Then what is the purpose of your check-in times then? then they switched the excuse to, oh you want 2 beds and we were cleaning a single king bed. Just complete chaos
- We came part of a wedding, kid you not 0ver 50 people had some sort of poisoning with the same symptoms of non stop vomiting
- Room was complete garbage, you shower and water not only floods the bathroom but also the room inside by bed as the glass door leaks
- AC in the older rooms can only go down to 21 degrees which in this humidity is insanely hot and to make matters worse, bed and pillow sheets are 100% polyester so you sweat buckets
- If you are not a female the good luck finding transportation inside the resort - they literally pass us laughing and stop for girls to pick them up. Extremely rude and unprofessional. just disgusting behaviour
- Be prepared to just push away dead insects and bird poop all the time in the pool

I wish i had ANYTHING good to say to be honest - just pure garbage. DO NOT TRUST the google reviews, wouldnt be surprised if they are bots
