All-Inclusive Luxury Beachfront Resort In Cancun Has Rafa Nadal Tennis Center

Grand Palladium Resort Costa Mujeres

Looking for luxury all-inclusive beachfront resort with a full-service spa, entertainment and a world-class tennis academy all in one location? The Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres Resort & Spa is a sprawling complex offering 674 guest rooms and suites. Opened since 2018, the resort is a 45-minute commute from the Cancun International Airport. It is so expansive that while it is possible to walk everywhere on the property, golf carts and electric water taxis shuttle guests quietly around the resort on a canal that winds its way throughout the property.

Managed by Palladium Hotel Group, which is based in Spain, the resort offers a number of all-inclusive hotel options on the same property, including Grand Palladium Hotels & Resorts (for guests of all ages), TRS Coral Hotel (adults only) and the Family Selection at Grand Palladium Hotels & Resorts, which caters to families traveling with children. Family Selection and TRS Coral are considered luxury hotels as they offer additional amenities for their guests. The price point to stay at these two specialty hotels is higher than it is for those staying at the Grand Palladium Hotels & Resorts for this reason.

Family Selection Hotels & Resorts and TRS Coral Hotel rooms are located a short walk to the beach, swimming pools and spa. The Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres Resort & Spa is, of course, walkable to the beach and spa, but will require you to take a shuttle if you want to get around the property quickly. All guest rooms and suites at the resort are expansive and well-appointed with deep soaking whirlpool tubs, large walk-in showers, terraces and complimentary mini bars.

A wide range of evening entertainment options are found throughout the resort. Perhaps one of the most unique options at the resort, was found on a recent Saturday night at the TRS Coral Hotel. Adjacent to the lobby on an outdoor patio, there was a “Silent Party” that featured three different DJs who were simultaneously playing three genres of music. Guests dance while wearing head sets. Guests can adjust the volume of their headset and also switch their channel to listen to the DJ playing the music they prefer. Each DJ was assigned either red, blue or green, with the guests’ headsets lighting up to match the DJ they have selected.

On Thursdays through Saturdays, the Chic Cabaret & Restaurant features professional dancers and singers who entertain guests while they dine on a multi-course meal while seated in cozy banquettes. Reservations are required and a guest fee will be applied for those attending Chic Cabaret & Restaurant.
