Located an hour’s drive west of Montego Bay, the 537-room, upper-middle-range Grand Palladium Jamaica Resort & Spa is a family-friendly all-inclusive resort that feels a world away from anywhere. This somewhat secluded resort is massive, with an 86,000-square-foot pool complex offering an adults-only pool, water park, and whirlpools, a stellar spa (fee), 11 restaurants serving international buffets and a la carte Italian, Mexican, Asian, and Caribbean cuisines, late-night entertainment, and several bars with nearly 24-hour drinking opportunities. Junior Suites and Suites are spacious but outdated, though they come with furnished balconies or terraces, whirlpool tubs, free minibars, and free Wi-Fi. The large size won't be for everyone, and the beach is rocky and man-made. The adjacent Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton Resort & Spa is a more modern, upscale alternative that shares many of the same facilities, but it’s quieter and better for adults. For an adults-only luxury alternative closer to Montego Bay, consider Secrets Wild Orchid Montego Bay.

The Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton Resort and Spa lives up to its name -- it's a large, upscale, all-inclusive resort with multiple pools, numerous restaurants, bars, and even its own shopping areas. The look throughout is fresh and modern, and there are a wide array of activities and amenities, like tennis and water sports on the beach, plus family-friendly offerings including a nursery, kids' play areas, and kids' pools (have no fear, though, the resort also has clothing optional, adult-only areas as well). The 516 rooms mostly blend bright, contemporary design with subtle colonial details, and include a nice array of modern electronics like flat-screen TVs and iPod docks. For a hotel that's a little less lively, travelers should look into the mid-range Rhodes Resort Jamaica, though it lacks the all-inclusive rates and polish. The adjacent sister property Grand Palladium Jamaica Resort & Spa is a more family-centric alternative.
