“Room upgrade”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 11, 2013

Hi, Has anybody stayed at this hotel and paid for an upgrade? Basically we paid just under £1000 for an upgrade to a junior suite, but we seen to have been given the same room as everybody that didnt pay the upgrade. We booked with thompson and they dont seen to want to help us. I would just like to know what i got for my £1000 that was any different to any body else, so has anybody stayed in a standard room or know the difference between the standard and the junior suite within this hotel, please help me clarify. Thanks to anybody who replys

“Awesome Return”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

This was our second visit and we were not let down! Great accommodations, great food at the buffets and the A la Carte restaurants. Everyone was very polite and helpful. Be sure to check out the Juta taxi van folks for great guides and info for the true Jamacian travel experience!
Their were seven couples in our group and we all cannot wait to return!

“Best Vacation Ever !!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 8, 2013

We stayed at this resort from Jan 23-30th and thought it was awesome. We had a "situation" on the second night where water was coming thru the ceiling above the jacuzzi tub--we were on the second floor, so we know exactly what was happening. I called the front desk at 1:30am to advise them and they insisted on moving us. I was really only hoping that they would deal with the people above us. None the less, we were moved the next day to another building (27) with a view of the ocean!!! We received 2 courtesy calls to ensure we were satisfied. My husband had lost his phone charger and thought he would take a chance at asking the front desk. They immediately found a staff member with the same phone and all was well for the remainder of the holiday. The food was excellent. Even though the resort was huge, we found little or no wait times what-so-ever. We did have one wait for the Italian Restaurant, but they have a bar right there to have a drink prior--same as at home. No complaints at all and we are planning to bring the rest of our family next time.

Thank-you Grand Palladium for the best Vacation ever--hats off to your staff !!!!

“"No problems mon"!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 7, 2013

Group of six of us, "first timers" to Jamaica stayed at the Grand Palladium December 9 through December 15, 2012 on the recommendations of our son and daughter, who had both previously stayed here. We all were very satisfied overall with the resort. The check in was quick, friendly and efficient, Ayesha is top notch! The rooms were large and clean (we were all upgraded to oceanview). The food was very good and plentiful. There were a variety of drinks and were of very good quality. The staff overall was very friendly and accomodating and the location of the resort itself was very scenic. Would definitely recommend trying the jerk chicken at the Jerk Hut at Sunset Cove! We ate it everyday! I would suggest that the director of evening entertainment in the auditorium might consider turning down the music for the evening shows a few decibels! It was so loud we couldn't enjoy the shows, and we aren't a group of "old prudes"! A great resort to stay at and relax and soak up the Jamaican sun and Jamaican vibe with No Problems Mon!

Room Tip: Stayed in bldg 15 with oceanview. Beautiful view, but a little "hike" from the dining and...

“Big Resort”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 7, 2013

We just came back from this resort. We had 4 couples that went. The resort is very large. The chekc in was nice. It did take a few extra minutes as Alesha was trying to get 4 rooms in the same building as we were all spread out initally. She also gave us the ocean view side. She was great. We only had to fill out one paper per couple at check in. We were in Villa 17 so it was a walk to get to the main location. The pool was nice even though it was cold. Alex, Sean Gervace and Oshae were great at the pool bar. Try Alex's MF blended drink- really good. The beds were ok but our pillows were not flat like alot of the other reviews. I like to keep the patio doors open at night and the only noise was the frogs. Others had said they were crickets but it was acually the frogs making that noise all night. Wait staff at the Infinity Bar and Sports Bar were really slow. It took forever if you ordered from them. Better off getting your own drinks. JJ the bartender in the Casino was great. We thought the food was pretty good compared to some other resorts we had been to in Mexico. Jerk chicken was awesome. We went to the Steak, Mexican and Italian restaraunts and all were good. Would not recommend the french onion soup though...Our rooms were clean but the showers do need to be redesigned. My sister had an animal or something made out of towels everyday in their room but none of the rest of us had anything at all. We were never pressured for tips but if we had good service we did tip good. Wish they would have had Redstripe light like alot of the tappers showed...

Room Tip: First floor rooms smell musty. Stick with the higher rooms. Rooms with water view are awesome. i sat...
