The smallest of the three, and it shows in the ratios
366 rooms against 506 at Grand Palladium Select Bavaro and 582 at Grand Palladium Punta Cana.
With three pools and nine bars, that gives it the best water-and-bar-per-room ratio of the three hotels on this site — a quieter version of the same holiday, at the same distance from the same airport.
The age gap on one site
Built 1994, last refurbished 2016.
Its neighbour was refurbished in 2025. Nine years is a long time in resort fit-out, and this is exactly the comparison the published build dates exist to let you make. Most operators do not publish either date; Palladium publishes both on every sheet.
What it publishes
White sand and a lifeguard. Three accessible rooms. A casino — one of four properties in our coverage with one.
Room categories run Deluxe through Junior Suite to Loft Suite, including a Junior Suite Swim Up Beachfront.
Three show-cooking restaurants plus four à la carte.
The 18 rule
The sheet states that alcohol is not served to under-18s, and marks certain venues as adults-only at 18 plus.
That is not a minimum age for the hotel — it is a family resort — but it is more than most operators publish about how age works on site.
What is not published
The kids club age bands, though Miniclub, Babyclub and TeenClub are all named. No minimum age. No mandatory fee schedule.
What the rate includes
Not published by the operator.
What it does not include
Not published by the operator.
Mandatory costs
The operator does not publish a mandatory fee schedule on its official pages. That is not the same as there being no fee. It means we read the official source and found no figure, so we are not going to state one. Confirm any property charges at the point of booking.

Prices
We do not publish prices for this resort yet. We only publish a price when we can state the amount, what it covers, the basis it is quoted on, and when we observed it.
We have no affiliate relationship for Grand Palladium Palace Resort Spa & Casino yet, so this is not a tracked link and we earn nothing from it. When that changes, this page will say so and the disclosure will appear above it.
