I've never been to a Paradisus resort before. If I remember right, I saw that the Paradisus Punta Cana had won some awards so I started reading some reviews. The reviews were not glowing. I thought it was odd that an award winning resort would have negative reviews. From what I remember, the Royal Service section is only for adults. That is where I would stay if I went to one of these new resorts.
Does anyone know how the Paradisus resorts compare to resorts such Sandals, Secrets, Couples and Palace resorts? I'm searching for an all inclusive resort without children for this next winter.

In order to receive poolside and beach service which I feel are very important you have to be in the Royal Suites with Paradisus resort. IMO it is one of the biggest downside to their resorts. The Paradisus Palma Real gets very decent reviews, but in my recent travels to all of Paradisus/Melia resorts in Punta Cana they could use some classes in customer service with their guest. I feel that there is a morale problem and the workers seem to be disgruntled. Great service will go a long way in evening out the bad and without it the even the good appears to be bad.I will be visiting the Paradisus Playa Carmen when they open and I do hope to see great service as the location for this resort is very desirable. It is a 7 minute walk from the lobby to 5th avenue.
I have seen resorts win diamond awards and tripadvisor awards but still get negative reviews. Royal Hideaway is another case of this.
Couples resorts are great if you like activities as they provide a lot with their all inclusive plan. Their resorts are more rustic, but the service is amazing.
I have not been to all of the Palace resorts, but I can say that LeBlanc is amazing which is owned by Palace. If you want to stay Adults only you would be down to Sun Palace and Aventura. Location would play a big part on the decision of where to stay as Palace resorts are more towards the Cancun area.
My favorite resort goes to Secrets however. The Sanctuary Cap Cana is definitely one of my favorite resorts.

The Paradisus Playa del Carmen La Perla and the family friendly Paradisus Playa del Carmen La Esmeralda will have an advantage being so close to the shopping, restaurants & bars on 5th Avenue. Not everyone wants to be in the middle of nowhere.
I also have heard great things about LeBlanc in Cancun. Most of the Palace Resorts are well reviewed.
Secrets Sanctuary Cap Cana has been near the top of my wish list for many years. Is it still true that they are the only Secrets that allows children?

Nathan, The kids will have to stay behind in order for you to visit this one as Secrets Sanctuary Cap Cana is adults only :( But I promise it will be worth it.

Nathan, you'll have to scratch Secrets Sanctuary off your list because the resort is no longer a Secrets Resort.
