Riviera Maya- The demand for the Palladium skyrocketed and three years later, still holds its place as one of the most popular Resorts, quick to sell out too!

The Resort was built with horizontal flow, parallel to the Caribbean Sea and a long white beach to a far peninsula. It is integrated with the natural beauty of light jungle foliage, with abundant flowers and manicured gardens added.Most of the facility is linked by walkways over lagoons, connecting restaurants with two lavishly decorated lobbies, with vast marble floors, sculptures and artwork.

There is a choice of four à la carte restaurants--Mexican, Oriental, Mediterranean, and a steakhouse--and three buffet restaurants offering continental, local and Creole cuisine. The Azul Palapa has dining a la fresco, overlooking a gigantic lagoon size pool, with Grecian columns encasing pools of bubbling water. A magical setting!

Nightly shows take place in a theater off the courtyard and guests gravitate to the lobby bars for cocktails in an inviting setting. Hemmingways is a non-smoking bar with games while Churchills is the place for an after dinner liqueur and cigar. The night lights up at Sunset Blvd. Disco in a Hollywood theme!
