Choose Colonial within the Palladium complex

Grand Palladium Colonial is part of the Riviera Maya complex north of Akumal. Kantenah, Select White Sand and TRS Yucatan have their own hotel identities. Use the property printed on your room confirmation so the transfer is arranged for the correct arrival point.

Distance from Cancun Airport

The calculated Terminal 3 road route is about 85.3 km and 1 hour 10 minutes without live traffic. The hotel describes the airport journey as approximately 90 minutes. Allow for traffic and time leaving the airport when planning your arrival; neither figure is a pickup promise.

A resort for families

Colonial has family facilities and children’s clubs. For the airport ride, count all adults and children and select enough luggage space. Ask us about a child-seat request before booking; the hotel’s family facilities do not determine the equipment in the vehicle.

Shared facilities and separate charges

Colonial guests have access to shared facilities with Kantenah under the hotel’s conditions. Do not assume that every service at Select White Sand or TRS is included. Spa hydrotherapy and certain shows have additional charges; check the hotel confirmation for your package.

Getting outside the resort

Colonial is on the Riviera Maya highway, not in central Akumal or Playa del Carmen. Arrange a vehicle for outings outside the complex. Walking between facilities inside the resort is different from walking along the highway to another town.

The return pickup

For your return, use the Colonial meeting point stated in our confirmation and finish check-out beforehand. If the hotel assigns your room to another Palladium property, send us the new property name before travel so we can review the pickup.

Hotel information

Enjoy Akumal without disturbing its wildlife

Akumal Bay is a protected marine refuge. Choose an outing that respects the area rather than treating turtle sightings as something an operator can guarantee.

Arrange your airport arrival →

The bay and turtle observation

Before booking, ask whether the operator is authorized, which area you will visit and which rules apply that day. Do not chase, touch or feed wildlife. Follow the guide and respect marked areas.

Hotel area and village are not interchangeable

Resorts carrying the Akumal name can have different entrances along the coast. Check your exact hotel before planning a walk to the bay or village; do not use the highway as a pedestrian shortcut.

Keep the day comfortable

Take water, sun-protective clothing and a dry bag. Check the sea conditions before entering the water. Your airport transfer brings you to your selected drop-off; guides, marine activities and admission are separate arrangements.
