Jamaica notches over 1.5 million visitors per year. With its beautiful beaches, delicious local cuisine and majestic waterfalls, it’s clear to see why the destination is so popular. And because of its abundance of activities, Jamaica offers something for travelers of all ages.
Grand Palladium Jamaica Resort & Spa is set to enhance the Jamaican experience to bring even more exciting options that appeal to every generation. Located between two of the island’s most popular tourist towns, Lucea and Montego Bay, Grand Palladium Jamaica Resort & Spa is set to add 48 Private Oceanfront Private Plunge Pool Suites. As if it couldn’t get any better than the resort’s existing suites overlooking a tropical haven, the new suites will have guests literally dipping their toes in every indulgence. Eight of the newly refurbished units will be Master Suites equipped with larger pools with a pergola, as well as a spacious balcony and patio area. That means families have plenty of room to either spread out, relax together, or slip away for some alone time.
What’s more, Grand Palladium Jamaica Resort & Spa’s daily activities and amenities offer something for everyone in the family – and they are rooted in the local culture.
For the foodies, each Monday offers guests the opportunity to participate in a cooking class with local chefs to create the destination’s signature dish, ackee and saltfish. Those members of the family looking to immerse themselves even further in Jamaican cuisine should not miss Xaymaica restaurant, where they will enjoy regional Jamaican specialties with local produce like okra, callaloo, ackee and allspice. Foodies will also be excited to visit the Jerk Hut, located near the main pool. "Jerk" is a style of cooking native to Jamaica, in which a dry-rub or wet mixture is applied to meat, marinated and prepared over an open fire. This technique is believed to have developed through a fusion of African and Taino cultures. The Jerk Hut continues to be a favorite among guests. Additionally, guests will love The Mobay Show Cooking Restaurant and Infinity Bar, which is being refurbished to enhance its already luxurious state.
For those who want to play all day, there’s no shortage of activities. From daily entertainment, snorkeling, windsurfing and tennis, boredom is the only thing guests won’t find at the resort. Guests of Grand Palladium Jamaica Resort & Spa also have access to sister resort Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton Resort & Spa. There they’ll find a water park that will appeal to the kids in the group. Kids will have the time of their lives zooming down the colorful slides. There are slides of varying heights so all ages can enjoy the park safely. Parents can sit back and sip on a refreshing cocktail from the Kool Shay poolside bar while they watch their little ones paddle and splash in the water. This stunning water park experience is located right beside the main resort pool and has loungers and sunshades for relaxing, sunbathing and chilling out.
If sports are the thing, guests will love the resort’s super sports facilities. Have fun with the family playing on the football pitch, beach volleyball courts, basketball courts, archery field, tennis courts and mini-golf adventure. If water sports are more the speed, there is something to fill every day – from kayaking, paddle boats, windsurfing, sailing, snorkeling and more. And for those golfers in the group, the famous Tryall Golf Course offers guests of the resort the opportunity to enjoy its 18-hole facilities.
More guaranteed fun comes from the resort’s POP entertainment team who will liven up the experience with all kinds of spectacular shows, live performances, pool activities and games for all the family, both on the beach and in the resort facilities. The littlest guests will be tickled pink about the RAGGS, the fun animal gang that they can meet all around the hotel, who are always ready for a play, a dance and a thoroughly good time.
Of course, a trip to Jamaica isn’t complete without some well-deserved R&R. Wellness lovers should not miss the Zentropia Palladium Spa & Wellness center, which provides a lavish experience with access to the spa’s hydrotherapy areas, including jacuzzis, pool, sauna and steam bath, a fresh smoothie and juice bar, and an extensive list of spa treatments. Guests can let their worries melt away as they enjoy the outdoor hydrotherapy circuit, modern gym and personalized attention of the spa’s highly qualified team.
For couples who want to sneak away for a romantic date night, they can take advantage of the resort’s babysitting service. There will be no shortage of romance on a moonlit dinner, couples cooking class, sunset wine and cheese, romantic photo shoots and more. Or, head over to the adults-only Coral Beach or adults-only pool at the Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton Resort & Spa.
But on the nights families would rather stay in for some together time, 24-hour room service is always available. Order some food straight to the room, cuddle up and watch a family movie before drifting off to sleep. (And if you oversleep, don’t worry! Late check-out is always an option!)
