Fiesta Group, a Spain-based hotel chain, runs the 1,054-room Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton (from US$304 d), the largest resort in Jamaica by room count. The massive all-inclusive just west of Lucea encompasses the beautiful natural Molasses Beach and dozens of standalone blocks of suites across an expansive property along a rocky shore- line on the eastern flank of Lucea Harbour. Food at the resort is quite good by all-inclusive standards, especially the Jamaican dishes. The island’s largest rooftop solar plant meets a significant part of the resort’s electricity needs, giving it bona fide green credentials despite its large footprint. Several large swimming pools and above-average service make the only all- inclusive resort between Montego Bay and Negril a worthwhile option.
