    Good holiday but service could be better

    We have just returned from the Palace. Staying in a junior suite swim out. The room was generally good and we enjoyed having the swim out pool. We took advice from here and social media pages to take a shower curtain for the bathroom for more privacy with a teenager. This was a good idea and welcomed by my teenager. The room was clean and mini bar stocked every day. Our room seemed to regularly be one of the last to be cleaned which could be a bit annoying as it would often be after 4pm. Pools were clean and pool staff friendly. We all enjoyed spending time there, joining in the aqua aerobics and the swim up bar. We booked trips through the dive company on site. There were plenty of sun-beds and shady areas. Buffet restaurants were good and lots of choice including freshly made options. Service could be good but often we had to keep asking for glasses, cups for coffee and tea spoons. Very hit and miss - some staff friendly and others disinterested whether you tipped or not. The Japanese restaurant was by far the best and our favourite both for service, food and interaction. 100% recommend. The steakhouse was terrible when we went with poor quality meat and service. The Italian and Mexican were generally ok but nothing special. We enjoyed drinks and snacks in Hemingway. The closure of Bavaro did not affect us and we did not notice any noise but we were ideally located and some distance away from the Bavaro side. The closure of the theatre has had the most impact as the shows being relocated to the different hotel lobbies make it difficult to get a seat. The gym is fine but on the small side for the size of the resort and there would often be no treadmills available even at 7am. The resort is huge but the golf buggies and the little train run frequently if you don't want to walk. The service was not the best but overall we had a good holiday and would return if there was a good enough deal.

    Grand Paladium Palace, Punta Cana, DR

    Very clean and well maintained. Abundant, friendly staff. Excellent food. Design and layout of the room was not great, and the excursion and entertainment options left a little to be desires.
