Beach Hotels & Resorts in Paamul from NZ$166

"Review for stay during September of '25. This resort is huge with being 4 resorts (Kantenah, Colonial, White Sands & TRS-Adults only), on shared Palladium property. You can attend most if not all the resort pools, restaurants, entertainment etc. It was low season so resorts were not over-crowded. Actually, Kantenah Family Selection building/beach was fairly empty which we did not mind. Never an issue finding chairs at the beach or bali bed for rent. Colonial is the 'center hub' of all the resorts and seems to have the best entertainment, beach parties etc. Gametime sports bar was great, air-conditioned, TVs & full bar food menu and drinks to order from all included. It made for great catching a game on NFL opening weekend. Resort is also very family friendly. They have a schedule for activities for children, teens & adults. Never thought we would enjoy such a big resort but we truly did and wish we had more time. Rare occasion we opted not to leave the resort as every day/night there was something to do or see. There is a smaller waterpark on site also with slides for the kids and even an area for toddlers. We did encounter a couple issues during our stay however, management was prompt to resolve the issue and offer compensation. Our concierge butler passed the information on and the concierge manager came to the pool finding us offering sincere apologies and asked how they can make things right. Nothing is perfect but to me, that is customer service. We will return. "

"I was a first-time visitor and the experience was amazing. Check-in with Fernanda was easy, professional, and quick. We spent most of our time in Lounge 24, where Laura, Andrés, and Griselda were the best—Griselda and Laura constantly checked on us, and Andrés took the time to show us around. I also loved sitting at the Daiquiri Bar; Nelsi is the sweetest. I didn’t catch the name of the gentleman working the pool towels, but he was great as well. And you can’t forget the beach waiter, Kevin—funny and awesome. Our housekeeper, Araceli, made sure our room was always spotless, and we loved the different towel-animal creations she left for us each day. Overall, the experience was wonderful and almost everyone we encountered was lovely and kind. Unfortunately, our last night at the Italian restaurant was disappointing, as we felt we were treated poorly. I hope management addresses this, because everything else about our stay was truly exceptional."

"The best pool ever Best place to celebrate !! "

"We really liked staying at the Occidental. It is huge, it was busy but somehow, it is so well designed that it never felt crowded. We were very surprised by the additional fees to be charged at check in ($750 pesos) (why not give a heads up from Expedia or in advance?), and disappointed in the lack of communication by the hotel when we repeatedly asked, months ahead of our stay, for adjoining rooms but managed on day 2 to change rooms to be close TO OUR CHILDREN instead of down the hall. Thank god for David at the front deck as Lily did not help the night before but ignored our ask. But once that was settled - we loved the hotel, the food, the cleanliness. We do think we were a bit hoodwinked by the Chichen Itza trip - which was promised as a 3hr to Chichen trip but was 5 hours to get there because of multiple buses. We would return to Occidental."

"Eveything was amazing! "

"Our trip was amazing. We had a wonderful time with our family. The resort is beautiful and clean and the staff were all very friendly and accommodating. Restaurants were all great. Lots of pools. Lots of food options. Lots of kid friendly activities. The only things that we didn’t love was the chair saving at the pool down by the beach was a little crazy. By 8 am all the chairs are covered with towels there isn’t anyone around. But we have been to other resorts that are the same way. Would highly recommend this resort especially with families. "

"Yes!"

"Loved the activities and Santos at the Italian restaurant! "
