We stayed at the Palace resort and were very disappointed. I booked a Pool Premium Room, but my reservation was switched to a Junior Suite, and despite many attempts, nothing was done. As a premium member, I expected at least a decent room, but ours was outdated and poorly maintained. One sink was broken, the other drained slowly, and the shower pressure was so weak I never felt clean. The room smelled of mold, the trash was full on arrival, and the twin mattresses were completely worn out. The bathroom door had no lock and had grooves that allowed visibility inside, making it uncomfortable when sharing with kids. Housekeeping staff were great, but they couldn’t fix the larger issues. The buffet offered the same food daily, with fresh fruit being the only highlight. À la carte restaurants had strict dress codes not practical for a Caribbean vacation, and the “Brazilian” restaurant was far from authentic. Pools were the best part of the resort, but the beach was full of seaweed (the Barceló mall beach was much clearer). Evenings were boring, with the pool closing at 8 and only a theater dance show as entertainment — not engaging, especially for kids. Staff were kind and helpful, but overall, this resort is outdated, poorly maintained, and offers little for families. As a premium member, I saw no extra benefits. Would I return? Sadly, no.
