Like: Everyday average staff. Nice, helpful, and accommodating. Dislike: Dated resort. Hard sell timeshare club sale. Food was average to poor at time. Transport around the resort was not organized unless you sign up for the club or were in TRS. Beach was a joke. No real beach in most locations. TRS and family select have ok beaches but still not what I expected. Most alcoholic drinks are watered down or bad brands unless you are in TRS or the club. White sands lobby smelled of sewage unsure if it was related to construction. AC and refrigerator were down at check in. Room service ordering was poor. They always left off one or two items.

It is far from everything so if you want to go and leave the resort and explore, it’s nearly impossible and very expensive White sand selection is doing renovations so you can’t even see the beauty of that property The rooms are horrible very outdated and the beds are very uncomfortable. Our AC wasn’t working the first night we got there and every day we called about hot water issues and we stayed in one bedroom villa. For the price we paid. I do not recommend this resort. It is really really big. The food quality is horrible. We ordered hamburgers for room service and we literally got ground beef patties raw. I mean, I understand because the resort is so big there are so many people you’re now fighting with quantity rather than quality

There was a ton of mosquitos, the staff was rude at times and the bar tenders were definitely not qualified bartends aside from one person, there were a so many flies one day on the food that I feel they are negligent when it comes to sanitary conditions I would not recommend this resort.

I drove to your property and the staff seem unfamiliar with people who drive their own vehicle on the property. It took over an hour for us to get clear directions on where to park and where to check in we even drove through areas of the property that were not meant for vehicles, based on the directions given by your staff. When we finally checked in and found our room, we decided to hang at the beach. We were approached several times by guys trying to sell products. This is the first resort I ever said I would never return to.

We stayed at the White Sands for 5 days and very much enjoyed it. Here are the good and the bad: Drinks bad. There is no real juice on the property, neither at the bar or the buffet. Everything is a weird cheap tasting artificial "fruit" flavor. Best of the bunch was passion fruit, depending on who mixed it for you; it was passable in a margarita or mojito. On day 3, I gave up and just had seltzer with lime. The house red wine is pretty good. AC worked, but the room always felt damp. Food: mostly mediocre. We preferred the buffets because you could always find something that was good. Tacos and Mexican food were great. Hibachi station at the Hacienda was great, too. Fruit always delicious. Service generally better at the Dahlia. The only good restaurant we ate in was Sumptuori, whose beef seemed to be better quality than the buffets, and our chef Paulino was great. The Paisana and Portofino had good salads, but none of us liked our entrees. Meat was chewy and pastas tasted weird--the butter in brown gnocchi butter sage sauce was margarine, I think, and there was no sage. The filling in the ravioli not good. Tiramisu nice, though! Good: beautiful grounds, super nice staff, & immaculately clean pool at the White Sands. Loved the jungle paths from the WS to the Colonial. Lots of activities! We love archery with the fabulous Mafer, water aerobics with Miguel. and playing pickle ball as a family. The boys had a great scuba experience. We used the gym twice-very good!

The location is amazing. The facilities are amazing. The spa is amazing. The people working there are amazing. The food / restaurants / bars / service and convenience are lackluster: (1) why do I need to sign multiple copies of forms to bill anything to the room (why can’t they use our bracelet key)? You can write down any room number and chicken scratch! (2) no top-shelf options for alcohol (at any price) (3) restaurants are all essentially the same back kitchen / bar with the same cookie cutter (Soviet) format. No seemingly natural juices. Coffee meh. No coffee shop. Open buffet times odd for a resort (why do I need to be racing to catch a meal)? (4) Limited options for kids and teens other than the pool/beach – why can’t they have a separate spa for families? (5) why am I waiting 15 minutes for a transport to the other lobby or room which is far away? Just didn’t feel the love.

Not Coming Back
This was our fourth stay at this resort, the last visit being 12 years ago when it was under its former management. It was SO much better then- the food, the service, everything. They've let the beach erode so much we spent 0 minutes on it, the sea weed was so thick there were no fish around, we used to snorkel there, not this time. So many of the things that used to be included in this "all inclusive" resort is now add on charges. Service at the food places was so bad one night I didn't even get my food, my wife and son got there's but mine never came out. Finding water to drink was hard. We brought our big cups thinking we could just fill them up at the bars and be good. Instead we had to go to lobby to ask for bottles of water. Point being, if we'd never been here before it would have been okay but because we used to get more value for our money we won't be coming back Oh, and yes, they've allowed some of the facilities fall apart while concentrating on trying to take over half the resort for the adults only part (TRS). The White Sand lobby smelled like sewage.

Sadly the beaches were full of seaweed and no proper equipment to clear them. The employees tried but there was just too much, they needed skid steers, not rakes.. The lobby area had a disgusting raw sewage smell ...it was repulsive but nothing was done to ammend it. Its a shame because otherwise the resort was quite nice. I wouldn't go back to this particular resort. The TRS side was much better and even there the food was hit or miss.

I've stayed at nicer resorts, which probably skews my perspective. Overall the property is just way too huge, but it helps that they have carts that take you all over. Beach is not kept well, and we found the smell around the property repulsive because of the ponds/lakes all around. However, there were many pools that weren't too busy and the buffet was okay.

Sports bar food was nasty. I wished there was authentic Mexican food at the buffet station. I didn’t quite understand how certain shuttles picked you up or said they couldn’t take you to your destination.

A very beautiful property! Air-conditioning was quite loud and fan bearings needed attention on air conditioner. Really enjoyed our stay but would’ve been nice if they recognized us as returned visitors to Grand Palladium. Had our daughters wedding here and for the most part, it was quite spectacular
