Hotels with smoking rooms in Riviera Maya

"Review for stay during September of '25. This resort is huge with being 4 resorts (Kantenah, Colonial, White Sands & TRS-Adults only), on shared Palladium property. You can attend most if not all the resort pools, restaurants, entertainment etc. It was low season so resorts were not over-crowded. Actually, Kantenah Family Selection building/beach was fairly empty which we did not mind. Never an issue finding chairs at the beach or bali bed for rent. Colonial is the 'center hub' of all the resorts and seems to have the best entertainment, beach parties etc. Gametime sports bar was great, air-conditioned, TVs & full bar food menu and drinks to order from all included. It made for great catching a game on NFL opening weekend. Resort is also very family friendly. They have a schedule for activities for children, teens & adults. Never thought we would enjoy such a big resort but we truly did and wish we had more time. Rare occasion we opted not to leave the resort as every day/night there was something to do or see. There is a smaller waterpark on site also with slides for the kids and even an area for toddlers. We did encounter a couple issues during our stay however, management was prompt to resolve the issue and offer compensation. Our concierge butler passed the information on and the concierge manager came to the pool finding us offering sincere apologies and asked how they can make things right. Nothing is perfect but to me, that is customer service. We will return. "

"This property is the best for me so far from the rooms to the pool and the activities and the food as well. I will definitely come back"

"There was a problem with our first room , and the room was promptly changed. The facilities, staff and food were all excellent."

"Rooms were good, staff was extremely friendly, amenities were great. Do not go to the Italian restaurant, terrible service terrible food. Everything else was outstanding! "
