The Grand Palladium Jamaica Resort and Spa - February 2011

We booked a package through Expedia to the all-inclusive Grand Palladium Jamaica Resort and Spa for a short winter get-away. The Grand Palladium is an enormous resort that is arbitrarily split into two adjacent properties: the Jamaica Resort and Spa and the Lady Hamilton Resort and Spa. The two properties share a number of restaurants and other facilities. Overall, it's hard to tell what the difference is between the two resorts. The Lady Hamilton is the west side and the Jamaica Resort is the east side and the Lady Hamilton has more expensive bungalow style rooms.

We were surprised to find that the package included business class seats both to and from Jamaica. Although the flight was short compared to flights to Europe or Asia, the extra legroom and nicer seats were certainly nice.

It's kind of embarrassing, but we never left the resort except for a short snorkeling trip. Our excuse is that we were paying for an all-inclusive, so we wanted to get our money's worth!
