This review came up on my feed as i visited December 2019 came home and Covid took hold a couple of months later.I watched this very detailed reveiw today;the only thing i would say they can't be knocked for not having much entertainment and things to do because obviously with covid restrictions in place not many people are travelling.The food was fantastic with all restaurants open so various choices.For me it was a holiday of a lifetime, there was nothing i wasn't happy with.I have mobility issues too but it was easy to call a buggy to take me wherever i wanted to go.I am of Jamaican heritage but born in England so it was kinda home from home for me.I still keep in touch with some staff members on a regular basis.Things will be back to normal soon and i promise you when they are you will have the time of your life there.
Hi Palmela Henry, Thanks for watching my video and thank you for the comment. I definently agree with you, that the covid pandemic has a lot to do with entertainment. I am so looking forward to covid leaving so I can travel. Thanks again, my jamaican family! 🤗

I actually just got back from that resort we went there on December 19th 2021 and we got back December 26th 2021 and we went to the pool every day and we loved it
Toya I love watching your videos! You have such a great and fun personality. I watch you from USA. You know where you should go, iberostar grand rose hall. I went there for my honeymoon and my husband and I loved it and that's when I feel in love with Jamaica and it's beautiful people. I think you and your hubby will absolutely love it. I know you went to the suites but give the grand a try you will love it. Xoxo
Hi evelyn07881, Thanks for watching my video and thanks for this lovely comment with recommendation. I will definently try the grand section when I get the chance to. Again thanks for the support. 😊
Happy belated Birthday Latoya to both you and your daughter 🥳 Do you share the same Birthday? My daughter and I share the same Birthday! I can’t stress enough how helpful this video is to me. I especially appreciate the tours and knowing that there aren’t any elevators or lifts since my mother mentioned that she’s considering this trip in November with friends. I mentioned to her to let me check into it first to get the details and your video was the first of my recommendations. I’m definitely subscribed now and looking forward to more great reviews!
Hi L Hamilton, It's comments like these encourages me. Thank you so much. My daughter was born 3 days after my birthday but we always celebrate together, well for now as I believe she will soon want her own space. Lol I am happy to have been such great assistance to you and hope you all have a wonderful time on your trip.
You are so detailed is here in the USA appreciate that i got a question do u have a video saying which of the all inclusive resort is best for things to do food rooms location from airport ?
Hi Marshellena, Thanks for watching .y video and commenting. I plan in doing a video to indicate which hotel I love the best but all gas their own unique thing I like. So far, Ocean Coral Spring is my top choice regarding food and entertainment and them Iberostar Suite would be second. As it relates tonlocatiin near the hotel, they all are on one strip. The two I mentioned may be around 30 to 45 minutes from the airport. I have been to Holiday Inn but that's was before doing my UA-cam channel. I like their food and entertainment but it's more kids friendly. That is closer to the hotel. I hope I was able to answer your questions.😊
Thanks for the prompt response so me and the hubby want something all inclusive and adults only with a great room and balcony we booked the riu reggae but heard rumors it is closed down so we are now looking to book something else for the end of April 2021
@@lymingwithlatoya RIU Montego Bay is now Adults only as well .. newly refurbished. Ocean Eden Bay will be the newest adults only property opening May 1st as well.
Ahhh I'm from the uk, going here December 18th to 25th The flight is about 9 hours (I've just googled it wtf I thought it was 5hours) The bus drive journey is 45 minutes 😬 it'll be worth it in the end tho :)
TFS very informative. Which all inclusive resort would u recommend for a family with 2 older teens good food and nice updated room and nice beach not too far from airport ?
Hi JNG Mom, Thanks for watching my video and I love that I was able to provide as much information to you. I would recommend Jewel Grande Montego Bay & Spa, Ocean Coral Springs and then Iberostar Rosehall Suites. I have heard however that Ocean Coral spring is not doing well now re. customer service but I know they have good entertainment for teens. Iberostar has good food and the environment smells really nice but the entertainment even though good, is limited Jewel Grande has good food and entertainment for sure. So that resort is my top pic.
Thank you for your honest review it helps with our decision entertainment is important for us I'm not spending thousands for poor entertainment and food
Hi bsuggaj1, Thanks for watching my video and for the comment. All in all, the review is based on my experience, so you may go and have a different or the same experiences. The resort is wonderful though and the issues may be due to covid. I will revisit them after the pandemic to see if there are any changes.😊
Your video was a pleasure to watch, it was very informative and thorough, thank you. I'll be there over the Easter weekend but question... I think I was booked for the Jamaican side so can you say if that is a separate property because I realize security directed you to LH.
Hi Flex chic, Thanks for watching my video and for this question. To my knowledge there are three different sections. Jamaica, Lady Hamilton and another which is an adult section. However, if really doesn't matter where you stay because you have access to all section. I was at Lady Hamilton which is in the middle and I walked from there to the Jamaica side and then over to the adult section. So the side where you saw the stores are the Jamaica side and the section with the Spa is closer to the adult section. So hence why I was so tired because I actually walked the entire property. You will have a lot if walking to do. Lol. Hope you enjoy your stay.🤗🤗🤗
Hi Ms woke NYC, There are many restaurants there, however, due to covid and limited and persons visiting at ther time, there were only 3 opened. Hope you have a wonderful time on your stay.
Hi Spiveyjoe, Thanks for watching my video and for the comment. My views on this resort is not very high compare to other hotels I've been to. It's a nice place but not enough entertainment and much to do and I think this is due to covid. For now, my favorite hotel stay since covid are; Ocean Coral Spring and Iberstar Suites. You may check out those two other videos on my channel.
Hi Dierdre, Unfortunately, I didn't visit the beach much. At the time, it looked lonely and this may be due to the low number of visitors at the time as a result of covid. In addition, the water looked shallow. I realized that many ppl asks about the beaches at the resort, so I'm going to make it mybpoint of duty to vlog the beaches. Sorry I wasn't able to assist you that much but thanks for your comment and support.
@@lymingwithlatoya We decided to go to Iberostar Rose Beach. That was in your top 3 of your comments. It's a family vacation so I know we will enjoy it.. Keep traveling and keeping us informed.
Amazing video!! We're going for family vacation in December. I have sooo many questions just because of Covid and the website is vague on some things. How old is your daughter? I'm traveling with a 15 and 8 yr old. Did your daughter use the kids club that's advertised? Did she have fun? How was the watersports?
Hi Nicole, My daughter had just turned 13 years old. To be honest, just as I mentioned in the review, we didn't have much fun. Majority of the places and activities weren't available but I am of the view that these issues are due to covid. For now, I would not recommend this resort for the kids. Hopefully by December all things everything changes. I would recommend Ocean Coral Springs and Royalton Blue Waters for the kids. You may check those videos out if you want to on my UA-cam page. Hope I was able to assist
We stayed in the junior suite and that had the jacuzzi tub. Not sure what the others have but I'm assuming that if the junior has it, the other rooms should be have too.
Hi Cook N Comedy. Like the fact that you are watching my videos and placing your comments. I traveled to Grand Palladium on the 6th of February 2021. I didn't do any test on my visit, only temperature tests. May be this is due to the fact that I wasn't traveling from overseas. They may or may not have testing for overseas persons. The Grand Palladium that I visited was Lady Hamilton.
@@lymingwithlatoya The golf buddies have a schedule time to pick up on each block of apartments or you can call for one. But I think its great because the Grand Palladium is grounds is huge, too big to walk around. I really like the Grand Palladium Hotels
Informative video. But that looks like the smallest beach I've ever seen at a resort, lol. Were there enough chairs and shaded umbrellas for people? That's holding me back from booking, I'll admit.
Hi TheRoblove11, The property is really big and as such. You have a wide stretch of beach. I specifically looked at the Corak. Each which is a section by the adult property. I think you may be mistaken that to be the while beach itself. I didn't see much shaded umbrellas at the time and this may due to the fact that I went there during covid time. In all, I didn't find my stay an entertaining one but you may go and have a different experience. I wouldn't want to go. back there. Well, not for now at least.
@@lymingwithlatoya Thanks for the quick response, Latoya. I wouldn't go there either but I have to for a family wedding. I will stay for just a few days and not a full week. This resort is also overpriced. Even some of the cheapest ones in Mexico offer much better beaches (and food also, from what I read). I hope they do the jerk chicken justice here!
@@TheRoblove11 lol... I agree with you regarding the price. I never had their jerk chicken, so I can't comment on that. Just make the time enjoyable for you and share pics of you can. 🙂 I love weddings
We are considering this resort but wondering if it’s too big for our 7 and 5 year old? Don’t think they will be interested in walking long distances to get to the amenities. Please let me know your thoughts
Hi dansweet4141, Thank you for you comment. This video I did is actually three different sections of Grand Palladium. They also have carts that will take you to different places. As it related to the age of your child though, I wouldn't recommend this resort for her to have fun. I would consider Rui Ocho and Ocean Coral Springs as they have slides and adults are also entertained. Ocean Coral food is better though. Royalton Blue Water has slides too but I was not impressed with their service and food. Hope I was able to assist. Just to note also, my response is based on my personal views and experiences. 🙂
@@lymingwithlatoya thank you very much! I think the lady Hamilton section has slides but will consider your recommendations regarding Ocean Coral. While the slides are important we as adults are looking for good food, and accommodations too. So you’ve been to ocean coral?
Hi Yolanda, Thanks for watching my video and thank you for your comment. When I was there they didn't have any site for covid testing, just the regular temperature check and stations to sanitized. I am not sure if they have different procedures regarding covid testing, for ppl travelling from overseas.
I'm going here tomorrow. From what you said I'm sad that they don't have an elevator because my family has disabled and elderly. The elevator would really be good for them.
Oh no! I guess they should have ways to assist. I know the lobby is up high and so, they must have carts/car to take ppl around. I hope you have a wonderful time on your visit.
Hi Joyce, So based on the resorts I've visited, I would say Ocean Coral Springs and Royalton Blues. However, I wouldn't go back to Royalton because of poor customer service and the food was horrible. Both resorts have slids that I think kids would love. My top hotel for good all around entertainment and food are: Iberostar Suite, Ocean Coral Springs and Jewel Grande. I somewhat like Holiday Inn but nit many ppl gravitate to it. Hope I was able to assist.
Toya, my hubby & I are going in two weeks for a good amount of days so I wanted to know if you had any advice/comments on masks requirements, the heat (clothing) and if there are any activities. Also, did they fill up your fridge after you spoke with them. We're going for my bday but also to get away from the everyday tasks as adults we deal with. Thanks again for the review. I truly appreciate you taking the time out to do this.
Hi Chelle, Thanks for watching my video and thanks for the comment. Mask is a must, well not in the pool. Lol. But they do encourage persons to wear their mask, especially when entering close spaces. (Restaurants..etc.) Take along sunscreen also and extra bath soup as the ones provided weren't enough me. Take shower cap too and flat slippers. You should definitely take along nice restaurants attire and swim wear. You can also check their site to see what type of parties they will have during your stay. ' when I was there, they had an all white party that I didn't know about but I still went and saw ppl I'm different colour cloths' They came and restocked my fridge within 10 minutes, so that was a plus for me. The property is really big as they have different sections, so be prepared for a lot of walking of you wan to view the place. The entertainment during the day wasn't much for me and I felt bored at some point but may be all this is due to covid and the little number of ppl. I do hope you have a great time though and happy bday when it comes 😊
In your opinion what is the best all-inclusive resort for the price in Jamaica? Me and my girlfriend are planning for our anniversary in the summer. I loved this video!
Hi brockricks, The prices will fluctuate now due to covid. It was affor6atvthe time I went to these resorts but the prices may increase now, since more persons are now booking resorts more often than before. Out of the 5 hotels I've been to during this pandemic, my top picks for an anniversary that is affordable would be, Ocean CORAL springs, Iberostrat Suite and then Grand Palladium.
Hi Monty Salmon, Thanks for your questions. I visited the property during the height of the pandemic, so not many visitors. In addition, I vlog properties during the early mornings so I can give visitors their privacy. I hope I have answered your question 😊
Hi Jasmine Buisson, Thanks you for you comment. The Airport is roughly 40-50 minutes away from the hotel. Take into consideration traffic and other unforeseen obstacles.
Hi Tanilia, I believe that there are 3 on the entire property. The biggest at Lady Hamilton, the other near the Spa and the other at the adult section.
Hi Turning Point, Thanks for the comment. Yes, they offered room service but at a cost. I think the price varies based on the time you want the service. Eg. Breakfast, lunch and/ or dinner.
Hi Cheryl, I am sorry but I cannot comment much on the beach. In my visit, it rained the while weekend and as such, no one went near the beach as the water was rough. Not to mention the lightenings and thunders.
@@cece826 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂. My daughter didn't find the place exciting though. Not sure if this is due to the pandemic but it wasn't my best stay. Hope that things are better on your visit
Hi flex chic, No, I didn't pay any refundable incidental fee. I heard that is a thing now for most hotels but I have never been asked to pay any since I have been visiting hotels.
Yeah, I totally understand what you are saying. Might I add though, that when I went, not many persons where there. So maybe that's why it look so lonely.
My daughter was married here this past March. Enjoyed out stay there! Had a great time! Great video!!

The property is really big and as such. You have a wide stretch of beach. I specifically looked at the Corak. Each which is a section by the adult property. I think you may be mistaken that to be the while beach itself.
I didn't see much shaded umbrellas at the time and this may due to the fact that I went there during covid time.
In all, I didn't find my stay an entertaining one but you may go and have a different experience. I wouldn't want to go. back there.
Well, not for now at least.
@@lymingwithlatoya Thanks for the quick response, Latoya. I wouldn't go there either but I have to for a family wedding. I will stay for just a few days and not a full week. This resort is also overpriced. Even some of the cheapest ones in Mexico offer much better beaches (and food also, from what I read). I hope they do the jerk chicken justice here!
@@TheRoblove11 lol... I agree with you regarding the price.
I never had their jerk chicken, so I can't comment on that.
Just make the time enjoyable for you and share pics of you can. 🙂 I love weddings
We are considering this resort but wondering if it’s too big for our 7 and 5 year old? Don’t think they will be interested in walking long distances to get to the amenities. Please let me know your thoughts
Hi dansweet4141,
Thank you for you comment.
This video I did is actually three different sections of Grand Palladium. They also have carts that will take you to different places.
As it related to the age of your child though, I wouldn't recommend this resort for her to have fun.
I would consider Rui Ocho and Ocean Coral Springs as they have slides and adults are also entertained. Ocean Coral food is better though.
Royalton Blue Water has slides too but I was not impressed with their service and food.
Hope I was able to assist. Just to note also, my response is based on my personal views and experiences. 🙂
@@lymingwithlatoya thank you very much! I think the lady Hamilton section has slides but will consider your recommendations regarding Ocean Coral. While the slides are important we as adults are looking for good food, and accommodations too. So you’ve been to ocean coral?
Hi. Thank you so much for this video. It was so informative. Do they have a covid testing site on the premises?
Hi Yolanda,
Thanks for watching my video and thank you for your comment.
When I was there they didn't have any site for covid testing, just the regular temperature check and stations to sanitized.
I am not sure if they have different procedures regarding covid testing, for ppl travelling from overseas.
Yes
I shot a wedding there July 18 at the Gazebo, beautiful property.
Really? I would love to see your photographs. I love viewing wedding pictures.
@@lymingwithlatoya soon come
I'm going here tomorrow.
From what you said I'm sad that they don't have an elevator because my family has disabled and elderly. The elevator would really be good for them.
Oh no! I guess they should have ways to assist. I know the lobby is up high and so, they must have carts/car to take ppl around.
I hope you have a wonderful time on your visit.
@@lymingwithlatoya Ok Thank you.
I really love that you respond to your comments its amazing
I like the swings at hotels too.
Hotels can't be completed without swings🙂🙂🙂😉
I will now subscribe especially for your honesty
Thanks a million.🤗
@@lymingwithlatoya not a problem sis♥️🇨🇦🇨🇦
“The Pool Was Big I Just Didn’t Like That”😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Seeing that they don't have elevator are they wheelchair accessible?????
Hi Roshell,
Hope you are ok. I did not see any access for wheelchairs. I hope I had done a thorough check but I can't recall seeing any.
I was there from saturday and i came back yesterday
Hi Angelique,
How was your stay?
@@lymingwithlatoya it was very very good ,i didn't want to leave
@@angeliqueheadley6424 💃💃💃💃💃💃
Hi. How was the entertainment? I'll be there on Friday to tues
@@crazygirlbrown its very very good ,and the parties are fire
Which of the family all inclusive s hotel in ja is the best?
Hi Joyce,
So based on the resorts I've visited, I would say Ocean Coral Springs and Royalton Blues. However, I wouldn't go back to Royalton because of poor customer service and the food was horrible. Both resorts have slids that I think kids would love.
My top hotel for good all around entertainment and food are: Iberostar Suite, Ocean Coral Springs and Jewel Grande.
I somewhat like Holiday Inn but nit many ppl gravitate to it.
Hope I was able to assist.
@@lymingwithlatoya thank you
Thank you for doing this vlog
You are welcome RWS. 🙂🙂🙂🙂
Toya, my hubby & I are going in two weeks for a good amount of days so I wanted to know if you had any advice/comments on masks requirements, the heat (clothing) and if there are any activities. Also, did they fill up your fridge after you spoke with them. We're going for my bday but also to get away from the everyday tasks as adults we deal with.
Thanks again for the review. I truly appreciate you taking the time out to do this.
Hi Chelle,
Thanks for watching my video and thanks for the comment.
Mask is a must, well not in the pool. Lol. But they do encourage persons to wear their mask, especially when entering close spaces. (Restaurants..etc.) Take along sunscreen also and extra bath soup as the ones provided weren't enough me. Take shower cap too and flat slippers.
You should definitely take along nice restaurants attire and swim wear. You can also check their site to see what type of parties they will have during your stay. ' when I was there, they had an all white party that I didn't know about but I still went and saw ppl I'm different colour cloths'
They came and restocked my fridge within 10 minutes, so that was a plus for me.
The property is really big as they have different sections, so be prepared for a lot of walking of you wan to view the place.
The entertainment during the day wasn't much for me and I felt bored at some point but may be all this is due to covid and the little number of ppl.
I do hope you have a great time though and happy bday when it comes 😊
Do they allow for day passes, if you are Jamaican and just want to pay to use the facilities for the day?
Hi Mark Morris,
To my knowledge, they are not offering day passes at this time.
The most they may do is offer one (1) night stay.
Where in St Catherine you live? I live in that parish too and I am in linstead
I am in Portmore.
In your opinion what is the best all-inclusive resort for the price in Jamaica? Me and my girlfriend are planning for our anniversary in the summer. I loved this video!
Hi brockricks,
The prices will fluctuate now due to covid. It was affor6atvthe time I went to these resorts but the prices may increase now, since more persons are now booking resorts more often than before.
Out of the 5 hotels I've been to during this pandemic, my top picks for an anniversary that is affordable would be,
Ocean CORAL springs, Iberostrat Suite and then Grand Palladium.
Is there a swim up bar ?
Hi Farah Jules
Yes, there is a tiny swim up bar but it wasn't in operation on my visit. Not sure if it was due to covid. Not many persons where there.
@@lymingwithlatoya thank you!
Why is everything no open.?
Hi Monty Salmon,
Thanks for your questions.
I visited the property during the height of the pandemic, so not many visitors. In addition, I vlog properties during the early mornings so I can give visitors their privacy.
I hope I have answered your question 😊
How far is it from the airport ?
Hi Jasmine Buisson,
Thanks you for you comment.
The Airport is roughly 40-50 minutes away from the hotel. Take into consideration traffic and other unforeseen obstacles.
Love it!
Hi Christina,
I'm happy you love it!💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃
TY SOOO MUCH...VERY HELPFUL FOR ME ..REAL TALK
Hi Brenda Nestor (shouting you name with excitement)
Thank you for your comment and for watching my video. I am happy I was able to assist. 😊😊😊
How many pools are there?
Hi Tanilia, I believe that there are 3 on the entire property. The biggest at Lady Hamilton, the other near the Spa and the other at the adult section.
how is the casino there?
Hi Caroline,
Unfortunately due to the covid restrictions, the casino wasn't open when I visited. 😔😔😔
Will honeymoon here in October. Was room service available?
Hi Turning Point,
Thanks for the comment.
Yes, they offered room service but at a cost. I think the price varies based on the time you want the service. Eg. Breakfast, lunch and/ or dinner.
Do you like the Ocean coral reef better?
Hi Cheryl,
I am sorry but I cannot comment much on the beach.
In my visit, it rained the while weekend and as such, no one went near the beach as the water was rough. Not to mention the lightenings and thunders.
Jamaica Sir Boss TV was here 💯
😎🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Why aren't there any elevators what people of age is to do
Hi Betty,
I guess they didnt put that into consideration when building.
So, the best option is to have people of age book the ground floor rooms.😔😔😔😔
Is this a family resort also
Hi cece718,
Hope you are doing great. Yes it is,.
I was there with my husband and daughter. I believe children are free up to age 12 years.
@@lymingwithlatoya ok great my daughter is 17 and i don't want to chance it with an adults only all inclusive of being denied
@@cece826 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂. My daughter didn't find the place exciting though. Not sure if this is due to the pandemic but it wasn't my best stay.
Hope that things are better on your visit
@@lymingwithlatoya yeah i'm seeing alot of vlogs where the resorts were" okay" assuming because of covid everything stopped
Going there in a few days,just wanna know if they have free WiFi
Great vid👍
Hi Tyrike,
Oh yes! They offer free wifi😊
@@lymingwithlatoya thank you 🙌🏽
How was it ??
did you pay a mandatory refundable incidental fee?
Hi flex chic,
No, I didn't pay any refundable incidental fee. I heard that is a thing now for most hotels but I have never been asked to pay any since I have been visiting hotels.
@@lymingwithlatoya oh ok thanks much

My kids are coming and this place where the kids pool look bord not the hotel the kids pool
Yeah, I totally understand what you are saying. Might I add though, that when I went, not many persons where there.
So maybe that's why it look so lonely.
