Great vid. Been twice. Another tip for guests is u can ask for all beer in your fridge. I also tip the maid daily for the Jamaican coffee. I came home w/a bag full of coffee!
You have to step outside the resort to know the Jamaican culture and see the locals. We are friendly and welcoming, however if you get a taxi out ensure that it has a red licence plate. I am a British born Jamaican who travels to my families land of birth often and I stay in hotels and in the community and that is the best experience mixing them both.
My wife and I just booked....spur of the moment . Sept 2019 here we come. Make way yo!! Never been off the main 48. Im stoked. You 2 are great in this video!!!
I stayed at there in December paid for jamaica side got upgraded to lady Hamilton I loved it! Arrived on Saturday and stayed until Wednesday, next time I'll be sure to be there on a Thursday!
I will also say don't book an excursion through the hotel...or you will pay about $100 more than the real price. I wanted to go to Mayfield Falls...one of the hotels was charging $110 per person (4 of us), we talked to a private driver (red license plate) and he took us for $30 per person. Shoot on my Jamaica vlogs you see we negotiated EVERYTHING...LoL
I went 2 years ago for my 50th birthday. It was AMAZING!!!!!!! You are so right about the crickets, I thought it was some type of alarm the first night. I would recomend Grand Paladium to anyone.
We did a couple's trip there June 2018 and loved the Grand Palladium and planning on going back in 2020. Everything you all said is true. Can't wait to go back. We left on Friday, so thanks for the tip to stay for the weekend!
As a jamaican living in Jamaica I really appreciate how you kept this video real..there's so much more to this beautiful country than outsiders realize. Thanks alot..and btw Lucea is the spelling but the pronunciation is "LUCY " LOL
Great video. You’re absolutely right about the tip is the key! Basically, honestly treat others as you would want to be treated. Glad you had a fun trip- you both deserved it. Stay blessed...on purpose!
I just got back from this place today for a wedding and it was awesome I also stayed at lady hamilton too. My room was in building 27. I agree with everything you said
Great video guys. You guys seem like fun to travel with. My wife and I have actually stayed at the Grand Palladum 3 times. The funniest part was the crickets. There was one under my daughter's bed. She thought it was a spider. After a while though you get used to them and it's actually relaxing (but I was drunk so what did know). Anyway thanks for the four videos. We may go back this year or go to the Dominican.
@@KASH_MILL_RECORDS absolutely March will be my first time as well I'm beyond nervous, but Jamaica has been a dream of mine to experience. I hope everything goes as planned.
@@nieshayvette2792 auww very first time you'll surely love the experience and wanna come back again :) !! So I'll definitely see you around on the resort !!!!!! Give me some info so we can keep in contact
You guys mentioned that the next video would be on the financial breakdown. Did you make a video on it? This is something that nobody really mentions and I think its so important to people who have never been to an inclusive and it gives people an immediate understanding of how much money they need to save.
My husband and I just came back today and EVERYTHING you guys mentioned were on point... although we didn’t get a chance to order room service, we were too busy trying to make it too ALL the restaurants. My husband couldn’t get enough of the calamari at the sports bar
Thank y’all for making this video. Planning on going to Jamaica for my 51st birthday . First time traveling out of the country And this video is helping me plan my trip.Oh and I lived in Richmond for 10 years I’m now in PA
So confused why the other review from two girls were negative about the entire resort minus the property. I feel better because I am staying there in 2 weeks. Thanks!
From what I gather from the employees new management came in last year and revamped everything. That may have been the difference. We had a wonderful time.
Y'all definitely sold me on the trip to Mobay. Ya boy Stanleeyyy is funny....but that look your lady gave you at the end had me dying laughin. Y'all stay blessed, I'll be watching more of your videos.
Just watching this :) fyi, I'm sure you'll find this out though, there are 2 elevators at the resort. One in each lobby. This is helpful to guest with mobility issues to get from one floor to the next and access all common areas easily.
So glad I found your videos. I'm going to Jamaica for the 1st time in August. I watched all of your videos for Jamaica and shared them with the group I'm going with, I only wish we were staying at the resort you were at. It looked beautiful. Lastly, thank you for the heads up regarding wearing camo. I surely would've been detained. Looking forward to hearing about your next adventures.
I'm going there tomorrow!!! I've never been to a tropical place before, I am so excited 😊 Thank you for this video I learned a lot. I just want to eat jerk and enjoy myself.
Just got back from my vacation at the Grand palladium lady Hamilton with my wife it was a great trip we even used the club Mobay vip..it was worth the money.. and we used top choice Jamaican travels they were great and always on time.. so we just wanted to say thank you for the video and your information on the resort it was probably our best vacation!!👍🏿
Hi guys Just watching your video about grand palladium lady Hamilton part 3 We r coming from the UK 🇬🇧 in March 2023 Thank you for posting on RUclips fantastic video very informative 👍
thats wassup. We almost went there but one of the people that was going on the "group trip" just had stayed there and didnt want to double back there :(
LifeWithUsTV what !? How can they not want to go back ? Lol I don’t blame them though. Jamaica has a handful of beautiful resorts. Iberostar is another great resort. But gran Bahia has the best beach. Hands down.
Im not gonna tell her about the nude beach lol but you better believe we gonna get that upgrade to get that view....quick question do they have hennessy at the resort? And at the bars or we have to bring our own bottle?
Haha. Trust me everything we saw out there at the beach was nothing to see lol. No Hennessy so if you don't bring it make sure you grab it at the airport. If you get a private car they will stop you anywhere along the way. Oh, don't fall for the white Hennessy hype. It taste like rubbing alcohol lol
Lol okkk ill make sure to pack the big bottle b4 i leave!!....and wat excursions would you recommend to do (i know you didnt do any lol but if you did?)
I can't thank y'all enough for the info!!! My bae & I are going on a trip for the 1st time w/o other ppl. I was torn btwn Dominican Republic, Montego Bay & Negril. I've been to Negril back in 2012 and been dying to go back ever since. I wanted to share a neww experience w my bae so being I've already been to Negril & DR (my dads family are natives so I've been a few times) Y'all made the decision easier! We smoke so why not go to the "weed capitol"?! I'm currently planning/booking for April. So excited thanks guys! ❤
you guys should try the TRS at the grand palladium riviera maya in mexico! the level of luxury is crazy! I want to go to Jamaica but there is no TRS at either grand palladium! :(
Jess, what you are failing to understand is that people don't necessarily travel to a resort because it's pure luxury. If that's the case, they could have gone to any luxury hotel in Florida or Europe. There is something about Jamaica that Mexico cannot give-even if they try. Besides, how can you assess the level of luxury at the Jamaican hotels and you have never been to Jamaica? Furthermore, some of Jamaica's hotels, and Jamaica as a whole, were ranked as the best in the world for travel and tourism: jamaica-gleaner.com/article/business/20170327/tripadvisor-ranks-jamaica-among-worlds-best-destinations. Jamaica also copped 8 coveted World Travel Awards (WTA) in 2018, including: World's Leading Beach Destination, World's Leading Villa Resort 2018 - Round Hill Hotel & Villasion, World's Leading Cruise Destination, World's Leading Luxury Hotel Villa, 2018 - Fleming Villa at GoldenEye, World's Leading All-inclusive Company 2018 - Sandals Resorts International, World's Leading Family Resort Brand 2018 - Beaches Resorts, World's Leading Caribbean Attraction Company 2018 - Island Routes Caribbean Adventures, World's Leading Adventure Tour Operator 2018 - Chukka Caribbean Adventures: jamaica-gleaner.com/article/lead-stories/20181203/jamaica-tops-world-travel-awards. THIS IS TOP IN THE WORLD we are talking about! Grand Palladium is NOT even one of Jamaica's top hotels. If it's luxury, Jamaica has; if it's budget hotels, they have; if it's in-between, they have. They have a little of every damn thing!
Omg lol my sister and I went to Jamaica 🇯🇲 in October and the crickets sound you’re referring to, I swear that sound was from birds 😂 wow!!!!! We stayed at Rui Reggae. Nice all inclusive resort as well.
How was the reggae vibes on the resort? Some people say it's pretty quit on the resort? And would you guys stay there on your next trip or would you pick some where else to go?
The reggae vibers were good, not too much not to little but its mostly in the pool area. Where the accomodations are its very quite but the other areas are pretty live. We'd go again but the Riu is more turnt.
Wel well well. We arrived. Yesterday Chilled a bit and yes beautiful Resort. We travel quite a bit and was at the Hyatt Zillara last year and overall similar. ONE thing im kinda dissapointed here is the staff in the restaurants. Maybe management is not taking care of them but they just dont seem as helpful and or happy to be there. That said looking forward to great week. Supposed to rain all day today but from wed all nice. Merry xmas to all
It’s funny because we had the same experience in the restaurants. Everywhere else was A+ ! Have a fabulous vacation. Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and yours too.
did you book direct or with a vacation package? when i looked for the site it looks like its thru "Vacation Store Miami" and I want to be sure its legit
About tipping, so im no cheapskate i have worked in the service industry so I get it. Im confused as Sandals resorts say not to tip only your butler if you have butler service (which we got on this new years deal) and is odd to me as we are working class folk and just not accustomed to do something like that but anyways I'm getting off track... do we still tip, even though sandals says not to ( more specifically they said it was forbidden) but I care about service folks, but dont know if its really allowed . Please let me know if yall can...and whats appropriate tipping in Jamaica? ( when we went to Mexico I just tried to tip everyone who helped us so I made sure to bring plenty of fives and ones)
I cannot tell you about the process but I can say I witnessed 2 weddings while there. 1 on the deck above the pool area and 1 on the beach at sunset with the Japanese lanterns and both were beautiful to witness. Do your research, look on trip advisor to see which resort caters to destination weddings the best. Although everything looked amazing, I can’t speak on the behind the scenes ❤️
Do you know what the difference is between the ‘grand palladium lady Hamilton resort & spa’ and the ‘grand palladium Jamaica resort & spa’ torn between the two resorts. 😫

Not Lu cia ..it's pronounced Loo see.
2024 video still rockin.. much appreciation
It sure is 🥰
Great vid. Been twice. Another tip for guests is u can ask for all beer in your fridge. I also tip the maid daily for the Jamaican coffee. I came home w/a bag full of coffee!
That's wassup. Great tip
You have to step outside the resort to know the Jamaican culture and see the locals. We are friendly and welcoming, however if you get a taxi out ensure that it has a red licence plate. I am a British born Jamaican who travels to my families land of birth often and I stay in hotels and in the community and that is the best experience mixing them both.
So true. We will next time for sure.
My wife and I just booked....spur of the moment . Sept 2019 here we come. Make way yo!! Never been off the main 48. Im stoked. You 2 are great in this video!!!
Steven Critz how was it
Yeah how was it??? we headed there nov-2020
I stayed at there in December paid for jamaica side got upgraded to lady Hamilton I loved it! Arrived on Saturday and stayed until Wednesday, next time I'll be sure to be there on a Thursday!
That's awesome.
I will also say don't book an excursion through the hotel...or you will pay about $100 more than the real price.

Im taking notes because our folk were getting hemmed up with the "community" taxis lol
I went 2 years ago for my 50th birthday. It was AMAZING!!!!!!! You are so right about the crickets, I thought it was some type of alarm the first night. I would recomend Grand Paladium to anyone.
Lmbo. Those crickets were off the chain lol
the sirens you hear are little tree frogs :)
We did a couple's trip there June 2018 and loved the Grand Palladium and planning on going back in 2020. Everything you all said is true. Can't wait to go back. We left on Friday, so thanks for the tip to stay for the weekend!
Yes the weekend is LIT. We almost delayed our flight back lol

I believe the locals. They said crickets I'm going with crickets 😂😂
My most favorite sound in Jamaica!!!! I love it.
My husband and I just came back today and EVERYTHING you guys mentioned were on point... although we didn’t get a chance to order room service, we were too busy trying to make it too ALL the restaurants. My husband couldn’t get enough of the calamari at the sports bar
Im glad you had a great time. Omg we didnt even get to try the calamari because Oneil was making those suicide drinks lol
Do they have smoked Marlin?
😂😂😂😂.the look you gave Stanley at the end was priceless!! Had me in tears!! Yal are hilarious!! 😂 😂

Thank you
LUCEA IS PRONOUNCED... LUCY
THANK YOU FOR THAT CORRECTION. HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE VIDEO
I’ve been going to Jamaica for 6 years straight. My favorite resort is gran Bahia principe. You two would love the Don Pablo side.
thats wassup. We almost went there but one of the people that was going on the "group trip" just had stayed there and didnt want to double back there :(
LifeWithUsTV what !? How can they not want to go back ? Lol I don’t blame them though. Jamaica has a handful of beautiful resorts. Iberostar is another great resort. But gran Bahia has the best beach. Hands down.
Been enjoying the Jamaica vlogs. Those crickets and the dark in Jamaica though, lol.
Thank you. Omg those crickets were on another level
What you are hearing are more likely the tree frogs :) like little alarms in the night lol
Hey! I haven't seen y'all videos since i was preparing for my first cruise😂. Y'all had me SET
LOL. Y'all funny. Dark on top of dark, huh? 😁😁 Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the videos.... We are planning our vacation for November.... Very informative
You are so welcome
Great video! I really appreciate the details you guys have. Such a cute couple!
thank you
wow that's why it took you 45 mins to reach there , they shouldn't really label it in Montego bay
loved this video going to grand palladium in Jan 2020
That’s wassup, you will have a ball
Thank you sooooo much!!! Me and my lady going in march!!! And after seeing this video im super excited! Thank you
You are welcome. You will have a blast
Im not gonna tell her about the nude beach lol but you better believe we gonna get that upgrade to get that view....quick question do they have hennessy at the resort? And at the bars or we have to bring our own bottle?
Haha. Trust me everything we saw out there at the beach was nothing to see lol. No Hennessy so if you don't bring it make sure you grab it at the airport. If you get a private car they will stop you anywhere along the way. Oh, don't fall for the white Hennessy hype. It taste like rubbing alcohol lol
Lol okkk ill make sure to pack the big bottle b4 i leave!!....and wat excursions would you recommend to do (i know you didnt do any lol but if you did?)
Dunns River, since you drink do the catamaran, bob Marley tour and do sunset at Rick's cafe
I can't thank y'all enough for the info!!! My bae & I are going on a trip for the 1st time w/o other ppl. I was torn btwn Dominican Republic, Montego Bay & Negril. I've been to Negril back in 2012 and been dying to go back ever since. I wanted to share a neww experience w my bae so being I've already been to Negril & DR (my dads family are natives so I've been a few times) Y'all made the decision easier!
We smoke so why not go to the "weed capitol"?! I'm currently planning/booking for April.
So excited thanks guys! ❤
thats wassup. yep Mobay will have you right lol
Great video once again. When it comes to tips....what would be reasonable to give the workers...IE room cleaners...baggage handlers etc
Thank you. Scroll down a little bit, I gave someone a breakdown not too long ago in the comments and that will probably help you out :)
Them crickets sounded like aliens!!!!
I work there, I’m happy you enjoyed your stay 🤗
That's wassup. We had a great time. Checkout our jamaica vlog, you may see some familiar faces 😁
LifeWithUsTV I sure will! Subscribing too ☺️
I'm Jamaican, lived here all my life, been to that hotel I was dying with laughter this entire video

I'm a new sub, yall are crazy funny lol, thanks for the info. I wanna visit for the first time. This vid was so helpful !!
Cant wait to go later this year!!😊
you will have a ball
you guys should try the TRS at the grand palladium riviera maya in mexico! the level of luxury is crazy! I want to go to Jamaica but there is no TRS at either grand palladium! :(
hmmm, lets me google that right now. Thank you :)

Planning of booking here. Anyone have update On the conditions and service as of recently?
Service took a hit during the pandemic but people seem to still enjoy it. Food isn’t superior but decent.
Great vid. Thank y’all for being REAL
Our pleasure!
Much luv man! I live in Richmond va as well. I’m subscribing.
Omg lol my sister and I went to Jamaica 🇯🇲 in October and the crickets sound you’re referring to, I swear that sound was from birds 😂 wow!!!!! We stayed at Rui Reggae. Nice all inclusive resort as well.
We almost booked at the Rui Reggee and we will try it the next time I think. Closer to the airport.
Yes it was like a 5-10 min drive
How was the reggae vibes on the resort? Some people say it's pretty quit on the resort? And would you guys stay there on your next trip or would you pick some where else to go?
The reggae vibers were good, not too much not to little but its mostly in the pool area. Where the accomodations are its very quite but the other areas are pretty live. We'd go again but the Riu is more turnt.
Kin folk how much did you pay for round trip with top choice? And did you use a private shuttle with just you and the wife & driver?
Great video boo 😍😘
thank you :)
Wel well well. We arrived. Yesterday Chilled a bit and yes beautiful Resort. We travel quite a bit and was at the Hyatt Zillara last year and overall similar. ONE thing im kinda dissapointed here is the staff in the restaurants. Maybe management is not taking care of them but they just dont seem as helpful and or happy to be there.

did you book direct or with a vacation package? when i looked for the site it looks like its thru "Vacation Store Miami" and I want to be sure its legit
we booked the resort via bookit dot com and we booked our flights directly with the airline or expedia (i cant remember off the top of my head)
J S We use Bookit always. Never had any problems
Baby those crickets sound like something in a scary movie. Out in the woods type ish 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
haha yes they were.
I love the video, I just came yesterday from there love it amazing resort....
See, why you didnt send for us??? lol Glad you had a wonderful time.
What will be the suggested length of stay??... Will 4 days be enough or would you suggest a week (7) day stay??
Honestly if all you have is 4 days, take it but I would suggest 6 as the sweet spot. We did 5 and it went by so quickly.
@@LifeWithUsTV great vid thanksssss for the tips planning to go in Feb... Keep up the good work... Love yall vids
Very useful video. Thank You!
Thank you I’m going in January I’ll be ready 💞

About tipping, so im no cheapskate i have worked in the service industry so I get it. Im confused as Sandals resorts say not to tip only your butler if you have butler service (which we got on this new years deal) and is odd to me as we are working class folk and just not accustomed to do something like that but anyways I'm getting off track... do we still tip, even though sandals says not to ( more specifically they said it was forbidden) but I care about service folks, but dont know if its really allowed . Please let me know if yall can...and whats appropriate tipping in Jamaica? ( when we went to Mexico I just tried to tip everyone who helped us so I made sure to bring plenty of fives and ones)
I'm like you... I tip. Honestly if its forbidden I wouldn't but if it's still an option I would tip them because they work hard.
At Sandals you can get someone fired if u tip. Only Spa attendants & Butlers accept tips. Otherwise gratuity is included in price.
Hi where there any hot tubs/jacuzzi around the pool areas?
they have them but they arent exactly where the huge pool is.
What number did you dial to call the hotel?
Thank you guys for the tips, amazing 💌
Loved the video, you guys are so awesome!!
VIP from start to finish
Thank you sis
What are your thoughts on having a wedding here? I really value your opinion 😀
I cannot tell you about the process but I can say I witnessed 2 weddings while there. 1 on the deck above the pool area and 1 on the beach at sunset with the Japanese lanterns and both were beautiful to witness. Do your research, look on trip advisor to see which resort caters to destination weddings the best. Although everything looked amazing, I can’t speak on the behind the scenes ❤️
What number do you call to get the upgrade?
The regular reservations number. Ours happened in person.
How far in advance should you ask for an upgrade?
At the property
Thank you so much for this video! Great info💜
No problem

Do you know what the difference is between the ‘grand palladium lady Hamilton resort & spa’ and the ‘grand palladium Jamaica resort & spa’ torn between the two resorts. 😫
Jamaica side is basic decor, wood decor , lady Hamilton side is glam and very updated
LifeWithUsTV thanks!!😊

Good morning ☀️ Thank you so much! 🤗
They have parties a lot in the summer not just weekend
Yes but it’s on another level on weekends

Are there shuttles that take you to your room if you are out late at night for the clubs and parties?
Yes they do but we were perfectly located so we didn’t bother
I honestly get what you are saying about the crickets but they actually put me to sleep now because I’ve been hearing them my whole life
haha, after day 2 i got so used to it and i actually didnt hear them anymore lol
