One of the reasons we chose this resort is the wide variety of food options. We fortunately scored dinner reservations at 5 of their restaurants: Bhogali (Indian), La Paisana (Argentinian), El Dorado (American), Bamboo (East/Southeast Asian), and Sumptuori (Teppanyaki). My favorites were the Cowboy Steak and Beef Rib at El Dorado!
We also tried all 4 buffets (Las Torres, Poseidon, Behique, and Arrecife) at the Grand Palladium in Punta Cana. The buffets don’t vary much in quality and their menus are quite consistent. My go-to at each buffet was their steak—always tender, juicy, and flavorful. I also loved their breakfast options, especially at Las Torres. Each buffet also serves Dominican food, which I enjoyed! These buffets don’t come close to the ones in Vegas, but they kept us very well fed throughout our trip!
The Grand Palladium was a relaxing oasis. From the crystal blue ocean and soft sand to the peaceful pools, there were endless spots to kick back and enjoy the Punta Cana lifestyle. This is the only all-inclusive resort I've been to, so I don't have much to compare it to. I still highly recommend this resort because it had everything we needed.

My favorite meal at the Grand Palladium was at El Dorado. I was overwhelmed by how massive the Cowboy Steak was. It was fatty, juicy, and tender. We somehow scored a bonus Beef Rib that we didn’t order, and it blew me away. The meat fell off the bone and was so much more tender than the steak. It was like going to Texas for a meal. I was so impressed!

I’m a sucker for teppanyaki and enjoyed my time at Sumptuori. It wasn’t as good as Benihana in the States but still worth trying. My favorite protein was the shrimp; it was so succulent, juicy, and flavorful. The beef was great but could’ve been a bit juicier. The salmon was good and the chicken was a bit dry. I was amazed and overwhelmed by the portions though—way more than what Benihana would serve. This all came with fried rice, which could’ve used more garlic butter and less sauce. The desserts were amazing here, too!

I loved the Korean 5 Spice Duck. It was crispy, juicy, and tender and the sauce added so much flavor. The fried rice was just alright.

This was my first time having Striploin Steak and I enjoyed it! They didn’t have steak knives and the meat wasn’t the most tender, so it was a bit difficult to cut through. But I loved the fat and cook of the steak. The Garlic Shrimp appetizer was just alright. The Alfajores and Caramel Pancakes were amazing—some of my favorite desserts on the trip!

I enjoyed the Butter Chicken; it just lacked the spice I crave when I have Indian food. The Samosa was great and the dessert was just alright.
