The Palladium resort opened in July 2008 so has all the latest ammenities. Every room is a junior suite and comes with a jacuzzi tub. The property has the largest swimming pool in Jamaica, and one of the largest spas I have seen before. The resort is very spreadout, thus you can always find your own corner of paradise. Check out the adult only rooms situated along the point, on the Lady Hamilton Side. You might want to come back for your anniversary.
What I wish I
could change:
This is the first resort in town of Lucea, so there is very little to do in the immediate area. However, there are lots of adventure style tours to do close by, and these can be pre booked, or booked while at the hotel.
Why YOU should
go:
The overall Palladium complex offers the best value for money in Jamaica. The two resorts offers excellent accommodation and an incredible selection of restaurants and bars to choose from. Perfect for families and couples. The transfer from the airport is a quick 45 minute drive.
Opened in June 2008, this is one of Jamaica's newest All-Inclusive resort with junior suite accommodations and over 9 restaurants is perfect for families and couples. This is the Jamaica resort section of the overall property. Located 40 minutes west of Montego Bay, on the road to Negril.
