We were all on the Lady Hamilton side of the resort, this is where the honeymoon villas are. Only one couple was put on the wrong side of the resort, and they also had a leaking ceiling. This resort is suppose to be new, but you cold never tell. The fountains in the lobby and the room building were either empty or filled with stagant water just sitting there smelling up the whole building. Believe me I can't believe it either!!! After every pboblem we kept saying this is our honeymoon/wedding, there is nothing WE can do lets just forget and and move on, but problems can't happening! Petals and I shared the same photographer (who was amazing), I wanted to see Petals on her wedding day but I was stuck in the lobby until 7:00 dealing with accommodations for our guests that arrived that day. Rooms to stay away from 3114 - Ants, 3208 & 3220 - leaking ceiling and Mold, 3021 - sewerage problem, thats the only room numbers I can think of right now..................

I'm sorry to freak you guys out, but I wish I had know the condition of the resort and the service of the staff before I booked, I wish so much that I changed resorts, we would have left the resort but we had over 40 guests staying with us and couldn't all move. I felt so bad bringing my guests to this resort, I was so embrassed......we had 19 rooms and everyone of them had a problem!! I didn't even get to spend time with my family and friends because I spent most of the time in the lobbby trying to resolve problem over problem with the front desk, guest relations, and the general manager. If you have to keep your reservations at this resort, I would demand to speak to Jascynthia, if you don't get her the Manager of the resort is Jose Morgan, and the Acting General Manager is Jose Cardino, he is from the Mexico GP, filling in until they replace the General Mnager at GP Jamaica. The only way to get anoyne to do anything for you at this resort is to demad it and I am a ery quiet, shy person so this was hard to do. Also although the set up on the beach looks nice in pictures,( it was right out side my homeymoon villa that flooded with sewerage) there is a drainage ditch right next to it and sewerage flows down it into the ocean.......NASTY! Also I recommend getting your on photographer, the resort photograper is so bad we had a hard time picking out the 8 free pictures....not one of them were good our friends and family did better! Jascynthia was in the backgound of some of the pictures. If anyone wants anymore info or if I can help with staff memeber names and email please let me know!!! Good Luck if you can't cancel your wedding here, and if you can I hope you do so you wouldn't have to feel how my husband and I did. outdoor shower right before it flooded into the room. few of the 100's of ants all over the room!!! cigarette but that was in our shower since we got the room

I returned home from the Grand Palladium on Sat and after 10 days there, Sat was the highlight of my trip......going home!!! If you can re book your resort I urge you too......my wedding on May 25th was a disaster!!! Jascynthia didn't "coordinate" anything.....flowers weren't delivered on time.....chairs were uncovered and taken from seated guests minutes after the ceremony.....raw chicken was served......the pool was treated w/ chemicals below us causing people to go into coughing fits.......food took so long guest w/ kids left to go to the buffet.....we were downgraded from the honeymoon villa we booked......when we finally got the honeymoon villa, it filled with raw sewerage........our next room had ants everywhere!!!!! I can go on and have pictures off this if anyone wants to see, I am so disappointed after all the time and planning I put into my wedding, it was ruined....... My photographers Monica and Chris from Monica Z Photography were awesome......they helped us so much, and took amazing photos!!!!!! I thought this resort was new but tiles are missing all over the pools, A/C in rooms and restaurants never work, ceilings in the restaurants and rooms were falling apart, leakeing everywhere, rooms smelled of mold, power went out at least 5 times a day......I can go on and on....... It was so bad the accting general manager gave us a complete refund of the wedding expenses and "vacation"! I hope some of you are able to re book I would hate for someone else to experience the wedding I had.

Congrats!! So nice to hear you had such a great time!! I can't wait to see pics!!!!!!! How long did the Zurelimaka show last? Did you also have to pay them in cash?? Were you able to do any dancing? Did you do first dance/father-daughter & mother-son dances I'm still undecided on music/entertainment for the reception and my wedding is only 16 days away!!!!!!! ~Linda

Jax1182 - She called me....My travel agent gave her my phone number. I just looked on my cell and this is the number she called me from - 876-633-8900. I think her phone number is on the bottom of her emails too. Good Luck!!

Petals - That sucks!!! You already printed menus to, right? You would think that she would have called you to let you know!!!! I emailed her my menu in Feb. and I just had to email it again because she didn't have it! I forgot to ask her do we get a dessert choice or is the wedding cake the dessert?? Does anyone know? I did find out you can choose the kids meal when you arrive, she basicly said find out what they like best at the restaurants and she can order whatever. (chicken fingers, pizza, burgers and fries, lasanga....etc....) For the centerpieces she said they use the flowers from the ceremony along with candles and colored water(). So I am having about 40 guests and she said 9 centerpieces would be a good total amount with a u shaped table and the ceremony flowers will make 4 centerpieces. For the u shapped table she said the head table section of the "U" would seat 6-8 people. Jascynthia said if you need to get a hold of her it is best to call her she said she is swampped with emails esp since all the Mexico brides are trying to re-book their weddings in Jamaica!!! She was very appologetic to taking so long to respond too... I can't believe I will be in Jamaica 2 weeks from today!!!!!

I finally heard from Jascynthia tonight!!! I think thanks to my Travel Agent!! She called me and emailed me back! Galiagirl - What day is your wedding?? Time is flying!! I still have so much to do!!! Petals - Thanks for the video......I am so excited.......I can't wait to just be there!! What is everbody doing for reception entertainment?? I don't know what to do, I want to just use our ipod, Jascynthia said it would be $150 for 3 hours to use their speakers/microphone, but will that be enough to get people up dancing?? So I'm thinking maybe I should just get the dj??

Petals - What day do you arrive in Jamaica? We get there on the 21st!! I am so excited I will get to see your wedding!!!!!!! I'm glad to know we can set the tables up how we want becasue I really like the big square look, so everyone is together, I hope it works!! For entertainment we are doing the steele drum band at the ceremony and we haven't decided for the reception.......either the dj or an ipod reception.

Hi Petals - I feel like I have so much to do!!! I still have not heard back from Jascynthia!! I did find out the officiants name is Rev. Paul Gallimore, Officiant and the steele drum band's name is Macka’s Band. I'm not sure what I'm doing for centerpieces becasue I haven't gotten a price from Tai Flora yet.......I think your idea of flower petals with the candles that will be on the table sounds like a good idea, I might be doing that too!! I just wanted to find out from Jascynthia what exactly they provide on the tables and how they are set up.

Petal can you believe we are less than a month away!!!! What do you have left to do?? I still have so much to do!!! Time is just flying by!!! I just emailed Jascynthia a list of questions - I hope she gets back to me soon!! I have been talkking with Natalie from Tai Flora for my flowers, after reading these posts I am afraid to get the quote!! I'm sure it is going to crazy $$$$!! ~Turk ~Good Luck and have fun!!!

Snowangels - Congrats!!!! I hope you are having a wonderful Honeymoon!!! Thanks for the update! I am still waiting to hear from Jascynthia so I can print my programs!!!!! Does anyone know anything about the cake?? Do we bring pics of what we want or do they just do a standard wedding cake Also if we do an ipod reception and use our own docking station is there a plug available to plug into?? Or is it worth it to rent the speakers and mic?? Tikki_gurl -Good Luck and Have fun!!! Thanks girls!!!

Hi Petals- Have you gotten any info about the ceremony details? I just started working on my programs and I'm not sure what order to put things in? I need to send Jascythina an email to see if she knows the officiants name and the name of the steele drum band etc...... Let me know if you get any info.......I can't believe we will be in Jamaica in less than 2 months!!!!!! I still have so much to do!! Linda
