Chris,
We stayed at The Grand Palladium White Sands & Riviera Resort and Spa. The Grand Palladium has 4 resorts in the Mayan Riviera. The other two are the GP Colonial & Kantenah and are next to the White Sands and the Riveria. We stayed in the "Royal Suites" section which is adults only and located in a separate exclusive section at the Riviera Resort. It has it's own private lobby & check-in, concierge service, and exclusive pool & pool bar. Only guests staying in the adults only Royal Suites can use the facilities at the Royal Suites. There is no exclusive restaurant in the Royal Suites section. However, there are 6 restaurants within the GP White Sand Resort and the Riviera Resort. Plus guests have full use of the facilities at the GP Colonial Resort and GP Kantenah Resort which I believe also includes dining at the restaurants in those resorts. If you stay in the Royal Suites, you pretty much have access to all of the GP resorts, so in essence, you are a VIP at the resort. The pools are awesome. We especially enjoyed the salt water pool which gave you the best of both worlds...a beach and a pool with its own bar (see the first two pics in row 2 of pictures on the web page that I provided in my earlier post). The salt water pool felt like an adult only beach because it is set pretty far from the main beach. Not too many people ventured out to it. I don't know what the Mayan Riveria is like during the fall as far as the clientele. I can tell you that when we were there in March, there were hardly any families vacationing at that time. So bumping into kids while at the pools, venturing around the resort, or while dining was not an issue. Also, the gym & spa at the GP White Sands & Riviera resort was amazing. Blew away any other resort gym & spa that I've ever seen.
Hope that helps...good luck. BTW, I saw on the Grand Palladium web site that it has a free room upgrade for honeymooners. Don't know what the limitations of the upgrade involves however.
