Vacanze Sandy Bay

Loved it so perfect for a calm vibe in Negril. Came for my 22nd birthday.

The Grand Palladium and Lady Hamilton Resort is stunning! It’s well maintained and the staff is nice. We stayed in a Bungalow at the Signature Room, which has upgraded amenities, a private pool, and private beach access, with welcome and departure gifts. The ocean view balcony has a stunning view. The room could use some TLC-the tv was in and out, the mattresses are hard, and we had to call maintenance a couple times. The food was just okay and the classic dishes at the ala carte restaurants are prepared differently from what we’re used to. The stand out was the pool areas, nightly activities, endless drinks, and the helpful, friendly staff. After leaving the hard bed, the beauty of the property made up for some of the issues we experienced. Summer vacation with husband and we enjoyed ourselves. 7/10. Couldn’t been an 8 had there not been so many issues with the bungalow, which is supposedly more luxury.

My wife and I very much enjoyed our stay at Princess Senses. We stayed on the adults only side of the resort. Beautiful location. It's a solid 1 hr plus from the airport in Montego Bay. While the bus ride on the way there is a little bit of an adventure in itself we were greeted and taken care of immediately upon arrival. We completed the early check in which was a great way to save a little time with the check in process. Our room was beautiful and ocean front. The elevator for building 3 was not working when we arrived, which seemed to happen about a handful of times over our stay but we were able to grab the elevator in the next building. Roberts Flame was our best meal and we ended up eating there twice. We also ate at the Italian restaurant and the Hibachi. The Hibachi was the only restaurant we needed a reservation for. Our chef at the Hibachi was really entertaining and we enjoyed the whole evening. The Italian restaurant was very good as well. We only ate breakfast at the buffet and usually took in lunch at the bar on the adults only side which had a great jerk chicken kabob lunch. Here are the negatives. We learned that the steam from the shower can occasionally set off the smoke detector in the rooms. We booked an excursion to the bamboo river ride which was a lot of fun. I will say the bus ride there and back was probably the most stressful part of the entire vacation. Overall a beautiful resort and we had a great vacation.

Great vacation, beautiful resort, with a wonderful staff. My family and I had a wonderful time and will definitely stay here again.

Buffett was terrible, food sat out for what looked like hours. Wait staff was not friendly and seemed as if everything was a hassle, even just getting coffee. The only way to get decent service was to ensure you left a modest tip, for everything, the staff definitely talks to each other and labels those who don’t tip well or at all. It was very obvious
