Editorial Summary

The creators provide a detailed review of their stay at the Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton in Jamaica. They explain the distinction between the Lady Hamilton side, which they describe as more posh, and the Jamaica side, which features more wooden decor. The resort is noted for being quite large with over 500 rooms, 10 restaurants, and various amenities like a spa and kids club. The creators advise travelers to check the restaurant schedules because not every dining venue is open every night. They also warn that there are no elevators to guest rooms, requiring guests to walk stairs. Other practical tips include calling ahead for potential VIP upgrades and preparing for themed nights such as the 70s or 80s parties. The creators suggest staying through the weekend to experience the full atmosphere of the on-site club and recommend getting to know the staff to enhance the vacation experience. Finally, they mention that excursions are located far from the resort and suggest planning them for the middle of the trip rather than the first or last day.
