Is Grand Palladium Colonial Resort & Spa still fun during humid or rainy months?
Yes. As an all-inclusive, all-ages resort, your meals and drinks are covered, so you can easily shift plans indoors. Settle in at the Colonial Lobby Bar or the Xtra Time Sports Bar, try different dining options like La Hacienda or El Gran Azul, or book some spa time until the skies clear.
