Palladium Vallarta: Activities

The Grand Palladium Vallarta Resort & Spa is a lavish, all-inclusive resort occupying a flourishing swatch of the manicured jungle with an enticing private beach, about a 45-minute drive from Puerto Vallarta. The 420 rooms have jetted tubs and furnished terraces and the master suites have outdoor whirlpools. The beach resort has activities from morning till night for singles, couples, and families to enjoy.

Before you read my review, I strongly recommend that you read my article on how to enjoy an all-inclusive vacation.
My review of this resort will be broken into the following sections:
How to enjoy the food at this resort
Have a romantic day at the Palladium
Take in all the activities
Ali and Danilo will keep you fit and active from 10 am to 5 pm at the pool.


The activities on land include archery, basketball, dance lessons, fitness center, nature walk, paddle court, ping-pong, pool tables, soccer, Spanish lessons, tennis and volleyball. The multiple pool and waterslides are where all the activities take place.



The sports bar has a couple of pool tables and also a wide selection of sports t-shirts.


The kids will love spending time at each club designed for babies, little kids and even teens! There’s a playground and swings for little kids and video games and movies for the teens.




The water activities include aquafitness, catamaran, deep-sea fishing, fishing, kayaking, non-motorized water sports, paddleboard, snorkeling, surfing, and waterpolo.


At the pool, there is always a hawk to keep the birds away.

On the beach, there are many parties, BBQs under the watchful eyes of management.



The shows at nighttime include Viva Mexico, Time Machine, Pirate Show, Magic Box, Time Machine, La Vie Burlesque, Rock Forever, White Party and I’d Do Anything.
If you still are not interested in doing anything you can lie by the beach or the pool or find an amazing hammock and relax.

This place looks awesome. great review!
We. are headed to Mexico next week and you have made this look so inviting! What a lot of fun things to do. The staff there seems really nice and that they want to help make your stay one of the best. That’s what I call good customer service.
It looks like there is so much to do here! I will have to visit one day. The hotel sounds incredible.
This guide was so helpful! Your activity ideas make Palladium Vallarta trip planning feel exciting and full of adventure.
This looks like a great place. I love that it is near the beach and has fitness classes.
I have been to Mexico many times, but not this area. Sounds like there is plenty to do. Enjoyed looking through your photos!
87% environmentally friendly is a big deal. Stats like that are worth bragging about and they set a good example for others to follow as well.
This looks like a fun place to visit. When it’s hot outside, I tend to gravitate to the water activities to help cool off. Plus, the kids can’t go wrong playing in the water too.
