Thank you for sharing this video. Planning a trip in January with family and we are staying at the Lady Hamilton. I was really concerned about safety, however , Your video put me at ease as the property looks so relaxing and safe. Looking forward to watching your nightlife video.
Excellent video! Exactly what I was looking for before I went. I like that you reviewed the resort and not the outfit you were wearing or your hairstyle. Thanks for making me RUclips famous.. that’s me at 40:08 blue shirt on the lounger relaxing at sunset cove 😊
As you may have noticed I subtly made reference to the poor videos that are from the look at me generation. There was nothing really available to show Grand Palladium in a way that most people want to see and I knew this so I went there with full intent of making a video so that there was something online to give people a feel of what it's like to be there. Sometimes you have to do things yourself to get it done right 😂
gabrielpage860 how did you like the resort, did the wedding go off good for you there? We are going next month so i am hoping to hear lots of good things.
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this detailed walk through. I'm very meticulous and indecisive so I need to see everything and every detail. I watched all your videos on this resort and thoroughly enjoyed them all 😊 I was born and raised I'm Jamaica but I haven't been back to visit Jamaica since 2001 🙈 I'm so due for a visit and your video is definitely helping me to narrow my decision on where I would love to stay when I visit next year 😊 👌🏾👍🏾
Thank you ! You are awesome for saying so! Yeah, before I went , I couldn't. Find a video that didn't show what someone was wearing, ice buckets in the room, or playing with their hair. So I made a commitment to create a video that has a clear view of the property , camera steady, the video I wanted to see. Now the internet has one. The more professional videos seem to be rushed, while talking at 90 miles per hour. Annoying
We will be going back since I retired from the U.K. for the fifth time at the end of this month we stay at the Riu Negril on blood bay we love the beach also 7 mile beach is a free hotel bus ride away. Love snorkelling and look at the colourful fish we have been to a few places around the world but Jamaica has become are second home
@@WizardTerence yes we are here now loving it but got wet yesterday visiting 7 miles beech I think the weather is going to be better to day going to do some swimming off the the hotel beech
Man you have the best video by far, so detailed and informative. I am getting married there in October, and I appreciate everything that you have shown me. The funny part is we think alike. For example, folks who usually shoot videos show selfies of themselves the whole time, and less of the property. Lol you read my mind. Keep up the great work, this is a real tour! A 1...👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥😎
I was there it is so beautiful and friendly people I loved it we were at the opposite side than you guys the very last down. Grand Palladium, It is a massive spot lol. Loved it and your video. I got back for sure lol
Great job!! I agree! every video I have seen all they show is the room and what they will be wearing that day which I do not care about... I want to see the property....I'm planning my trip now.
Best tour EVER of the Grand Palladium!!! My wife and I have been there twice and you've shown us a few things things That we weren't aware of. Excellent job of showcasing this beautiful resort !!! That place is everything!!! 👏🏽 👏🏽
Vielen Dank für dein schönes und informatives Video. Obwohl ich nicht gut englisch sprechen kann habe ich alles verstanden. Wir wollen nächstes Jahr dort Urlaub machen. Du hast uns die Entscheidung leicht gemacht. Vielen Dank dafür. 👍👍👍😘
Absolutely beautiful place myself and my wife have been 3 times to the hotel lovely staff 10 out of 10 and 5 times to the island a massive place in our hearts ❤ jah bless A very indepth video well done 👏
Thank You so so much for not making this Video about you but about the Resort itself, i have reservations to go there in 7 months & i was actually gonna cancel because i read bad reviews & then the content that utube was puting out just was not giving me any real footage! So ty!
Totally agree with the lousy content covering this place on RUclips. I was so frustrated with everyone in the look at me society only showing themselves or their clothes that I knew I had to fix this problem . So I set out to make a video that I would want to see, when looking at the possibility of going to a place ! It's not a surprise to me that people would rather see Jamaica than watch me in frame talking about me . I guess I am from an older generation lol😂
Great video! I have a couple of questions. Do they have live music and entertainment by the pool during the day? Also, is there 24 hour room service? Tia!
Live violin a 1 or 2 days through the week. Live Music at the night shows. I didn't see any live music at the pools except if you're sitting in a restaurant right next to the pool. If you are, I did see a solo saxophone at breakfast that may have been heard while in the pool.
Restaurants, you have to wait until you get there and I'm not sure about the excursions but I think you need to speak to somebody there at their tour center.
Thank you so much for this beautiful detailed video. My husband and myself are booked for the end of September for 11 days we have booked a beachside oceanview room. I have been there 11 years ago for a wedding but my husband has not been. I can see you enjoyed your stay. Any suggestions you have for us i would appreciate. We are retired.
Yes, I have a few suggestions. As soon as you arrive, book your restaurants as soon as possible. There are open buffets at all times, but if you want a specific type of dining you need to book it. Bring a large drinking thermos with you if you don't want to travel back and forth to the bar, sometimes there are waits. You might want to bring a beach towel each. If you're near the water, bring your preferred sun protection.
Which building number did you stay at? We have booked a beachside oceanview room. We asked for an upper floor so i have a good view of the ocean. We leave in 7 weeks. So excited.
Great video! Will be there next month! How much did you tip, and were you pressured to tip for everything like a smile and hello or just drinks and meals?
There is absolutely no pressure at all to tip. Not even a hint. Most people , like 90 percent plus , do not tip. We would tip about 5 to 10 American for meals. Rides to and from the hotel 20. Drink delivery 3 to 5. Again , you don't have to tip at all. We just like to give a little more. In total we tipped for the week about 600 American. Nobody would say anything if we gave 0. If you can , even just a little, or just once, I recommend you do.
Are you sure this is the same hotel ?!?!? There were zero guards at the hotel. Not even one in sight. Never saw one the entire time we were there. In this walk around video, did you see a single guard ?!? The answer is no. Not sure where you were staying. Perhaps you stayed at a different hotel ?
I didn't see many people smoking but I don't think they say anything about smoking. I bought a cigar and smoked it in the entertainment area upstairs without any problem at all. They sell cigars and tobacco of some type for some type of pipe there. I'm not sure exactly what it is but it's in my video's.
A wide variety of alcohol is there including Jamaica beer. Skating ? As in roller.blades ? I'm not sure , but I don't think they would mind you skating .
Lady Hamilton is said to be the better side. There was only one building that I saw that was under construction but don't expect dust and noise to be blowing around.
Not that I know of, I believe the buildings across the property are all stairs. There is an elevator in the main building , I think. If stairs are a problem, let them know you are seeking the ground floor.
They have such a huge resort that I think they split it in 2 And called one side the Lady Hamilton and the other side the Grand Palladium but don't quote me on that. The Lady Hamilton is closer to more restaurants and activities I believe. The grand Palladium has the kids water park on their side so adults might prefer the quieter side of Lady Hamilton. In all it's a family location.
It has a sports bar, there is also a place where they do night shows on a very small stage with good talent and drinks are served there or you can go to the bar and get your own (no cost of course). I don't think it's what you have in mind though.
The pools are not cold. Warm and easy to get into. The spa lazy river pool is the coolest because of all the shade over it. If you want somewhere to relax in the water and out of it, it's definitely the serenity spa fell asleep there! 😂

Thank you. Also, we stayed at the resort. Moving around off the resort may be unsafe. But at the resort it was absolutely safe.

@canadafragrancereviewerdia9119 we didn't have a wedding there but I did show the wedding place briefly. It is a great place to vacation though.

I never saw all of the property. That's a lot of walking in the hot sun lol beautiful place !

Amazing video 🎉🎉🎉🎉 thank

Best video ive seen for this place
Thank you so much !
Thanks for sharing this amazing vlog. I'm planning a trip in august. Do you know if there is a resort fee per day?
Thank you great video
Thank you for watching
Which building number did you stay at? We have booked a beachside oceanview room. We asked for an upper floor so i have a good view of the ocean. We leave in 7 weeks. So excited.
Sorry , at the moment I can not recall ....

Nobody would say anything if we gave 0.
If you can , even just a little, or just once, I recommend you do.
When we were there it felt like Stalag 13 there are guards slash security guards outside every building worst experience had ever will never go back
Are you sure this is the same hotel ?!?!? There were zero guards at the hotel. Not even one in sight. Never saw one the entire time we were there. In this walk around video, did you see a single guard ?!?
The answer is no.
Not sure where you were staying. Perhaps you stayed at a different hotel ?
Question..what currency do they use if you want to buy something?
American or local Jamaican currency.
This is an excellent review and tour, is this in ocho Rios or Montego Bay?
Montego Bay
It's in Lucia , closer to Montego Bay I believe.
Wow thank you a real video !
How strict are they on the no smoking policy?
I didn't see many people smoking but I don't think they say anything about smoking. I bought a cigar and smoked it in the entertainment area upstairs without any problem at all. They sell cigars and tobacco of some type for some type of pipe there. I'm not sure exactly what it is but it's in my video's.
The Jamaica side got all new rooms redone. Did the lady Hamilton side as well?
They were working on a couple of locations when I was there. I did notice they repainted the room doors of the building I was in.
Which resort has water slides? Are the slides appropriate for teens? Does either Jamaica or LH have a teen club?
The Jamaica side has kids water slides but I doubt they can be used by teens.
This is one of the most beautiful hotels I have seen!
It is ! And it's MASSIVE ! Many buildings on the property.
We just got back too. Second time in 13 years. Still fantastic. Video on our channel. :)
Awesome! Thank you!
What alcohol is included, just one type of beer, rum, vodka? Do you think they would care if I skated from my room to the pool etc?
A wide variety of alcohol is there including Jamaica beer. Skating ? As in roller.blades ? I'm not sure , but I don't think they would mind you skating .
Can you stay at the lady hamilton and go on the Grand side and eat on that side and use he pool?
Absolutely
Bro u made some people find me like i know you lol !! i saw you in a video !! Original nate the great!! Great video bro bro !!
Lol really bro ?
@@WizardTerence yea im the lifeguard
Lady Hamilton is said to be the better side. There was only one building that I saw that was under construction but don't expect dust and noise to be blowing around.

The place looks stunning and I'm so happy that I'm choosing to spend my 40th there!

Hi great vlog, wanted to ask, does this resort have any elevators to the rooms?
Not that I know of, I believe the buildings across the property are all stairs. There is an elevator in the main building , I think. If stairs are a problem, let them know you are seeking the ground floor.
@@WizardTerence ahhh right. Thanks for this, I really appreciate for your reply back..
@@WizardTerence oh that’s great for your information , I really appreciate it
Can I reserve a bicycle to ride around the property?
I did not see any bikes there or any place to get a bicycle. Sorry.
Hi 👋 everyone flying out ✈ to this hotel 25 july 2024 2 weeks all the way from the uk can not wait looks Awesome see you guy soon 🌞🕶🩴👙🍺🏖🥂👒🎊🍷🩱🎉👓⛵🍹🏝👊
The Lady Hamilton? I’m confused, is that other a different side Grand Palladium? Like an adult section?
They have such a huge resort that I think they split it in 2 And called one side the Lady Hamilton and the other side the Grand Palladium but don't quote me on that. The Lady Hamilton is closer to more restaurants and activities I believe. The grand Palladium has the kids water park on their side so adults might prefer the quieter side of Lady Hamilton. In all it's a family location.
They do have a pool reserved for adults only, for those that like it quiet and relaxed.
@@WizardTerence ok got it. Great video by the way. Thank you
@Condappastrength 👍 thanks !
How far was this from margaritasville 7 mile beach
Sorry, I am not sure ....
Hello. Does this property have a club on site?
It has a sports bar, there is also a place where they do night shows on a very small stage with good talent and drinks are served there or you can go to the bar and get your own (no cost of course). I don't think it's what you have in mind though.
I forgot to ask you how the temperature in the pool was, is it very cold or is it nice and warm.
The pools are not cold. Warm and easy to get into. The spa lazy river pool is the coolest because of all the shade over it. If you want somewhere to relax in the water and out of it, it's definitely the serenity spa fell asleep there! 😂
@@WizardTerence Thank you is the pool at the spa free?
Yes all pools are free
I did get to see attraction you get for free and what you pay for
Which side of this resort is better, lady or Jamacia?
Lady Hamilton side.
Lady Hamilton is closer to restaurants and shops .
You tasting food..."oh it was intereting" WAS THE FOOD GO0D 0R NOT?!
Was very good 👍
Honestly , some of it was good and some of it was average. It's the best selection I have had in a tropical location so far.
Dude that’s coconut palm trees 😂
Thank you !
