The Grand Palladium Jamaica

The Grand Palladium Jamaica is located on the island’s North West coast.

The entire resort is made for relaxing, containing multiple pools and beaches with refreshments never far from reach.

However, whenever my feet were tired from dancing, my room was a quiet oasis.

I often found myself on my balcony, where I could only hear the chirp of the tree frogs.

The size of the resort makes it so it never feels crowded.

Food and Drink

The variety of food options at the resort is truly impressive.

There are three buffet-style restaurants, one located over the infinity pool area, giving diners a tropical view.

Certain restaurants require reservations and a dress code.

There are also a few standout lounges located around the resort that are definitely worth visiting.

Activities and Amenities

The Grand Palladium has five distinct pools.

The main pool is an infinity-style swimming pool, the largest in Jamaica.

It is also where you’ll find the swim-up bar and daytime activities.

The beaches are perfect for spotting sea life.

I was able to stand out in the water and see fish clearly without any snorkel gear at all.

There is also a fully equipped gym that includes a weight room and a cardio room.

If you prefer group activities, there are multiple organized activities scheduled throughout the day and night.

The full schedule of activities changes daily, so you’ll never be bored.

You could also take one of the shuttle buses to the spa.

The spa has several different treatment rooms where guests can enjoy massages, facials, waxing, and manicures.

Guests in Zentropias hydrotherapy area can also enjoy the smoothie bar, which offers fruit and green juices.

Location

The resort is approximately an hour away from the Montego Bay airport.

Grand Palladium also organizes excursions and has a taxi stand in the lobby for guests who want to explore.
