Upon entering the Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres Resort & Spa, my first impression was of the beautiful architectonical modern design, and my second impression was a large number of families are staying here! Families with young children, multi-generational families, and families with friends and their families. I think this speaks loudly to the fact the Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres Resort & Spa is family friendly.

With so many amenities it’s not hard to see why!

The Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres Resort & Spa is a sprawling luxury resort with a little bit of everything for everyone, including those vacationing without families. After all, it is a 5-star beachfront hotel that happens to be located in a privileged spot of Mexican Caribbean, Costa Mujeres beach, and is only 30 min away from the town of Cancún and its international airport.

Two messages that were clearly delivered during my short stay at Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres Resort & Spa. 1. Customer Service –  Every staff member had a smile and was more than eager to make your stay the best Infinite Indulgence® experience you can possibly have. 2. Eco-friendly resort – from electric carts to an electric boat water cab, you will find that great effort was taken to respect the local and worldwide environment at the resort.
