Lifestyle Tropical Beach Resort and Spa Reviews

My husband and I wanted a "long weekend" where we didn't have to go too far and we had all inclusive accommodations. The Grand Palladium in Jamaica fit the bill - a direct flight that was only a few hours and fully inclusive for EVERYTHING. The grounds and hotel were pretty nice. The place was huge!! Make sure to bring comfortable shoes to walk to dinner if your room is on the outskirts. The restraunts were good. The only thing we noticed was that the place didn't look brand new, despite the fact that we were there only 6 months after they opened. It just looked like it had been around for a little longer - but it was still very nice!

good value for the money...food was ok...best in A la carte rest. good close to town and casino.. cheap internet cafe close by

The Staff was attentive and our room was lovely and roomy. The entry way was quite grand and inviting. All areas were well kept with beautiful grounds. The cuisine always had lots of fresh choices and was, at times, innovative. I appreciated the long walking pools especially because the surf was unusually rough. (I personally liked bobbing and swimming in the Pueta Plata beach area better). We felt quite pampered and pleased during our stay there. Also, the champagne and fresh fruit were a sweet welcome when we arrived for our honeymoon stay.

Great place to have a relaxing vacation without the outrageous cost. Resort was very nice, food was average, but beach was great. I would definitely recommend for a couple's getaway.

Overall the resort was awesome. I would recommend it to everyone. Our only problem the entire week was our power kept going out in our room. It didn't happen to the people around us. It was like the breaker in our room alone kept flipping. It was rather irritating because it would happen in the evening when we were trying to shower and get ready for dinner. That didn't bother me the first 3 times it happened but I would call the front desk repeatedly and it would take them forever to come fix the problem. One night it happen twice in an hour.

Unless you're VIP status, choose another resort...It was quite disappointing to know without our sparkly wrist band we woudn't be treated as well as others. With limited acess to the beach and other amenities I didn't feel like we got our money's worth, even though it seemed like a good deal. We did venture out on excursions and had the most fun and the best meal on a 4-wheeling and cable car adventure. If you are satisfied basking on the beach you will love staying on the resort (but be sure to be VIP)...Roman was fabulous and did a stellar job keeping the beach clean and your chair in the proper place. The food was ok, but I almost feel like they tried to "Americanize" it too much. Overall, good value for the money but spending the extra on excursions for us was the best decision we made.

I would like to say that my opinion may be swayed by the fact that it rained all day for all 7 days that my boyfriend and I were there. The room was clean and the service was excellent. My boyfriend and I had a great time! The only complaint that I have is that the food was not very good, but we didnt go there for the food.

Lifestyle Tropical beach Resort and Spa can provide any value level that you wish to accomplish. The options that are available provide the flexibility to meet everyones budget. The complex is spread over a large area and provides a wide variety of leisure options. Many places at other resorts are crowded with no place to seek seclusion if one desires that option. This resort has that option. An upgrade to be able to access the VIP beach area is a must! The rooms are spacious and spread over several complexes. There are a variety of activities to participate in or just lounge by one of the many pools, beach or under a shade tree. The service at the bars and restaurants was excelllent and there are ample bars to prevent long waits that I have experienced at other resorts. Transportation to and from the airport is simple and easy. All information is provide with exact times and process. I would highly recoommend this destination for a nice relaxing getaway to relieve all your stress. If you like gambling, a casino is within walking distance or transportaion is easily obtainable. The service at the VIP beach is excellent with top shelf alcohol and lots of relaxation and lounging area.

The VIP beach area was awesome with 4 poster beds and drapes to shade you when the sun got to be too much. The food and drink service was also great at this beach, the drawback was that you had to get there early in the morning to 'reserve' a bed or they would all be taken. Food was average, I would upgrade to a better room next time, but it was clean and easily accessible. Be careful of the VIP salespeople, they take a big part of your day if you allow them too, you get a nice tour of the other side of the property, but its a timeshare and not sure worth the price. Otherwise enjoyable and good excursions and internet access in the lobby for a small charge. The welcome VIP party is great don't miss it, they only do it once a week.

This was a fantastic week. The service and the VIP beach was phenomenal. I would recommend this to anyone, but as their motto says... Tell it only to your best friends.
