Hey, there, Rick! Didn't know you were on here!

I can't help but wonder how different those resorts can really be, in the long run, I mean, 3 of them are Iberostars and 2 of them are Rius, and in some cases resorts of those chains that go under different names actually share the same phsyical space and reception areas, right? I don't think there could be as much variation between any two of them as there might be between any one of them and about any non-AI hotel you chose.

Not trying to be a curmudgeon, just saying that in the overall scheme of things, sounds like the difference between Pepsi and Coke, to me!

Palladium Grand- the best all inclusive we've been too! Excellent service, great food

We're going to the Riu Palace this July. Did a lot of research and would say that the Palace and the Palladium are the best. Riu Palace is closer to Playa del Carmen, which is what we wanted. You can also get good feedback at Locogringo.com on these resorts.
