[@tmomgirlbo443]

You just helped me make my final decision for my large group trip to celebrate my birthday... Awesome detailed footage!

[@MaysFamilyTravels]

That’s great to hear! Thanks. Funny thing is we actually went as part of a large group celebration, about 16 of us. Plenty space to congregate together. We had no problem getting a large table for breakfast a couple mornings and the beach made for a great group photo backdrop. They also had a variety of excursions were every one in the group could find something they wanted to do. Hope you have a great birthday!

@@MaysFamilyTravels is this in MBay or Lucea??? From what I understand Lucea is actually 45 mins away? I want to have access to the hip strip, so I don’t want to be an hour away. Can you advise if you went to the hip strip at all/how far away it is? Also is this resort busy? Looking for a good place to party with young professionals. We want a good party vibe

Pro Tip: most times when heading to the resort outside of Montego Bay the shuttle driver will stop at a roadside shake. This is the opportunity to try authentic Jamaican Jerk. The resorts have a tame version for their guests.

[@canadafragrancereviewerdia9119]

This was a lovely video, your daughter is so cute, this brings back alot of memories. I was there 10 years ago for a wedding of my niece, last year in November we went to the Grand Bahia Jamaica Luxury side and loved it but would like to try this resort again, so you liked it alot. We missed alot of things when i went because we had a 2 year old granddaughter with us. I see there is an adults pool. Looks nice, i did not see that the last time. Our room was by the little beach at the end of the resort by the Poisedon restaurant.

[@Jessyboo2008]

Hello this will be my first time visiting an all inclusive resort. When it comes to the food and adult beverages…is it really all included? The prices are seeming too good to be true 😇

[@MaysFamilyTravels]

That's great! We love all inclusive resorts, pretty much all food and adult beverages are included. However there are sometimes at resorts where they might have a specialty wine or speciality food like lobster that cost extra, of if you want something like a candle lit dinner by the beach, you might pay a little extra. But we didnt feel the need to purchase anything on this trip because all the included stuff was really good.

[@arnavmaheshwari]

Hello! Planning on going with my family the beginning of April, I will be needing to take some calls occasionally on the weekdays so I was wondering if the free Wi-Fi connectivity was good throughout the property. Thanks for the review!

Hey guys. Love love your video!!!! My girlfriend and I are going to be there next month. Question do you make reservations before you get to Jamaica at the restaurants. And I want to propose on the beach. Do they accommodate that or do I need to ship my own rose petals out before we arrive. Blessings and again love your energy and vibe!!

[@MaysFamilyTravels]

Congratulations. I believe they can accommodate but I am not 100% sure. There were quite a few weddings on the beach and we saw a couple taking their engagement photos. However the beach wasnt block off solely to them. I would say still to pack your own and ship them out, just in case. If you don't mind the fake ones on amazon, they are pretty cheap

For this particular one we used our credit card points for flights and booked directly with Grand Palladium for the room. In the past we have used Expedia and Cheap Carribean. A lot of people use Travelzoo or Apple Vacations. If you have a credit card with rewards I would recommend checking their offereings as well.

Hi thank you for this video. I'm planning a trip to this resort with my husband and our almost 3 year old. Did you do reservations for any of the places you ate? I know you tried to for hibachi but that was booked a week out, but wondering if you needed to reserve for any other places or if it was required. I thought they have evening entertainment for free, like dance shows and stuff or did they not have that? Did you feel like the heat was unbearable/unenjoyable in late June?

[@MaysFamilyTravels]

Hi, yes, you will need to make reservations for the restaurants soon after you arrive as they do book up quickly. The only restaurants that didn't require a reservation were the buffets and sports bar. Yes, there are shows and free entertainment each night. It was hot, but we're from the South so, it wasn't unbearable for us. Enjoy your trip!
