Surrounded by landscaped gardens and lakes, this upscale, all-inclusive resort is set on a private beach, 1 km from Highway 307.
Featuring furnished balconies and plush seating areas with pull-out sofas, the bright suites offer free Wi-Fi, flat-screens and minibars, as well as whirlpool tubs. Lakeside, adults-only cabins with thatched roofs add separate living rooms, and private jetties with canoes.

It has an area of 53m2, spacious, centrally located rooms. All come with a king sized bed or 2 double beds as well as a sofa bed. Our Junior Suites are divided into two types, with an open bath with jacuzzi in the middle of the bedroom, ideal for couples or newly-weds, and rooms with an enclosed bath recommended for families. Surrounded by their beautiful gardens, mangrove forests and lake, these suites will make you feel in touch with nature.
DINING
Here, your taste buds will set off on an Epicurean Odyssey. They’ll travel through Italy via the Mediterranean, swing down to Brazil and then end up in the best steak house in the U.S. No reservations needed at any of the restaurants. But with the other Grand Palladiums at your beck and call, this is just the tip of the cuisineberg.
BARS/NIGHTLIFE
At White Sands proper, you can get your drink on in so many sweet spots: the beach bar (that offers snacks), pool bar, sports bar, and a bar with premium booze, board games and books called the Hemmingway. (Now the books make sense, right?) If none of these tickle your sandy fancy, there are 25 bars, total, in the complex. Scram.
BEACHES AND POOLS
The second you see the beach, you’ll know why this resort is called “White Sand” – you’ll be greeted with pearly-white sand, along with palm trees and palapas that’ll soothe your life-weary soul. For the pool-goers, there’s a lake-style pool with a swim-up bar, wait service along with four Jacuzzis, a saltwater pool and a quiet pool. Plus, a children’s pool close by so they can splash while you can chillax.
