"My wife and I stayed at the Grand Palladium PC from Jan.16-23 and it was fabulous. We actually booked with Conquest Vacations and they were great. If they didn't fold I wouldn't hesitate booking with them again.
We flew Air Canada, Awesome flight.
This was our second trip to Punta Cana, first time to the Palladium. Our first trip was so-so (Occidental Allegro) on all aspects, especially the food.
We were nervous about the food but we were pleasantly surprised with the food at the main buffet. Because of our previous experience, when we discovered the food was exceptional at the main buffet, we were cool. We actually ate every meal there. The food was that good. I will say this though, next we plan to try the a la cartes.
The resort was awesome, very big but you could get around when you need too. If you stress over this, go to a smaller resort, remember you are on HOLIDAYS.
The beach is awesome.We got to a beach chair early everyday because it can be very busy. We walked or ran on it everyday. It is absolutely beautiful.
The weather was fantastic. Rained a little.
People, you are going to a third world country. It has its down sides The roads are terrible. The airport is cool, you will see what I mean when you get there. The rooms were outdated a little but manageable. It's tropical and its humid in case you don't know. You'll be fine
The people, they are unbelievable. They stop at nothing to help you. If read other reviews saying the people are not nice, think about this, your actions dictate how you are going to be treated. I realize it is your vacation and you have spent alot of money, but step back and be courteous it'll get you alot further.
We took an excursion to Santo Domingo. It was the first place Christopher Columbus landed in the new americas. You tour so many places with so much history in ! day. I am not a religious person but we stood in the first church built in the new americas. I was breathtaking.
To sum it up, go to this resort, you will not be disappointed. If you are, you are way to picky and you shouldn't travel too far from home. Enjoy your vacation and I want to hear about it.

"WATCH YOUR STEP !!
Food and utensils on the floor of the main buffet were causing holiday mishaps for people. Staff not very motivated at keeping restaurant clean, service was very slow. Rooms were very musty smelling and need some attention. Have stayed numerous times at the Palladium on the Mayan and there is no comparison. Don't waste your time with this one !!"
