Book a Kantenah Resort

"We had so much at the RIU. Staff was amazing and PERFECT blend of big and small resort for our 11-17 year olds. Great food options, no wait time or reservations needed for the restaurants Just great overall! One watch out...we booked a two room suite. I envisioned just that, but we ended up getting two regular rooms that were attached vs. a true "suite". Not ideal, but not a huge deal for us, but something to be aware of. "

"What a great trip. We loved the unique location, the surrounding animals and nature, excellent service, and comfortable rooms. The food was great, everything was well-organized, and everything ran smoothly. The salespeople were a bit pushy initially, but once we shared our plans and preferences, they gave us space. The Xcaret park entrances are literally right by the lobby and the hotel's beach areas. However, it felt like you were inside Xcaret park even while on the resort grounds. We booked unlimited park entrances, and that was a fantastic choice for us. We did 1-2 experiences each day and then enjoyed relaxing by the pool or the ocean in the afternoons. The night shows at the resort were entertaining and culturally rich. This was our 6th or 7th trip to Mexico, and we’ve learned so much about its culture, people, and beautiful land during this visit."

"Hotel over all was very nice, rooms were big. The only thing I thought needed improvement is the entertainment during the day. Very dull and boring except for the foam party day which I believe is on Saturdays. "

"What a lovely little gem! We have been to many all inclusive hotels here but this place ticks all boxes! The entertainment was amazing, the vibe was excellent. The food was tasty, not exceptional but really good especially for an all inclusive. The drinks were fantastic, be sure to ask for a Pink Gin and Tonic. The rooms are a bit dated but they are clean and comfortable. They have a little mobile library to check out a book and the choice of pools is a great option. We will most definitely come back again. Lovey vibe, great music, wonderful atmosphere for a bit of everything! "

"Stayed in new section. Everything very clean. People cleaning everywhere. Great smelling bathrooms "

"Family selection at Grand Palladium Kantenah is like none other! Emmanuel at villa 40 is the best!"

"The buffet was very repetitive and often cold or dry from being left out. Omelette bar, fresh fruit, French toast and tacos, we’re always good. I have a gluten allergy, and they were very accommodating with any of my requests. Booked restaurants were higher quality, with the Brazilian being our favourite. The coffee shop was one of our favourite features with hot and cold specialty drinks and desserts. Rooms were spacious and beautiful, but some updates needed. We had adjoining rooms with our children which elevated our overall experience. The sports complex was a highlight for our children (age 10-16). It had a wide variety of sports and activities. The spa was beautiful, clean and offered many services. Pool drink service was available, however only one server was working at a time, for the whole pool area, which made for slower service. The server however, was very friendly and hustled. The pool was spotless, people scrubbing it at dark and again first thing in the morning. The pool area was spacious and we never had to sit directly beside another family. The White Sands beach had an astonishing amount of seaweed. However, we could utilize the beach at the colonial. The beach chairs were spread apart, giving people space and breathing room. Servers were also at the beach, which elevated our experience. We didn’t attend any of the shows at the Kantenah, however our parents really enjoyed the Beatles cover band that played one evening. The grounds were mature and well kept."

"Maybe it because I’m an electrician but man did I see a lot of messed up lights and various wiring "

"Excellent resort all the way around. Pools were beautiful. Great food and tons of options. Amazing wildlife around the resort. Top notch service!"
