The hotel is situated on a mile of magnificent white-sand beach sweeps along the Caribbean Sea. The location doesn't get better than this, for Bavaro Beach is why Punta Cana has become the 
"Number One Beach Destination." The all-inclusive hotel is situated in the unspoiled beauty of cascading feathery fronds of hundreds of coconut palms and on a carpet of lush tropical gardens. An off shore reef, with sunlit whitecaps of gentle waves, creates a coral barrier around smooth turquoise water. Swimming, snorkeling, sailing -- are the pleasures.
Palladium 'is the to
p-of-the-line" brand name for the Fiesta Hotels Chain from Ibiza Spain, and denotes quality, consistency and service.
This hotel, in particular, integrates 80 acres of spectacular foliage and has been constructed preserving the natural habitat. The ambiance and structures of thatched roofed restaurants along with the soft toned villas enhance the property.
