An introduction to Grand Palladium White Sand Resort And Spa

Staying at the Grand Palladium White Sand Resort and Spa is like sleeping between silk sheets – it's a luxurious experience. For starters, there's the location to consider. It's cupped into a beach that's every inch the Caribbean cliche. Cue sugar-white sands, swaying palms and crystal seas. It's a parcel of paradise wrapped in acres of gorgeous tropical gardens and tied with ribbons of waterways and jungle.

The grounds are just as gorgeous. Taking centre-stage is the lake-sized swimming pool. Bordered by sun loungers, parasols and palms, it comes complete with a swim-up bar, in-the-water sunbeds and a whirlpool bath. And as part of the Palladium Resort Riviera Maya it shares facilities with sister hotels, Grand Palladium Colonial Resort And Spa, Grand Palladium Kantenah Resort And Spa and Grand Palladium Riviera Resort And Spa. Which means you've got 3 swimming pools, 13 restaurants and an endless supply of bars at your disposal. Not to mention a massive state-of-the-art spa, a sports complex and an entertainment team that's well-versed in competitions and games. You can try everything from archery and windsurfing to 5-a-side football.

Indoors, the whole place is the epitome of tropical chic. Take the rooms for instance. They're all junior suites. Dressed in pale gold, they come with extras like whirlpool baths, minibars and bathrobes. Then there's the lobby. An open-sided space, it's a cool oasis with grand pillars, high-shine floors and a thatched ceiling. The attention to detail is staggering. Think potted palms, water features and an ornamental garden. Not to mention an architectural style that's Mayan meets Spanish colonial. Factor in things like rattan sofas and chairs, terracotta-coloured decor and lots of natural light, and you've got one stylish hotel.
