Anyone having problems with Grand Palladium Jamaica?

I emailed the resort on Saturday and I was informed that Lori is no longer with Grand Palladium Jamaica! The new contact aside from Nina is Phylicia Haywood. She's at the same email address that Lori was.

Does anyone have the link for the flowers that are offered in the Tropical Package? If you could send it either through private message or email it to me [email protected] that would be great.

I was having many problems with the wedding department there. The lack of communication caused me to change to a different resort (Riu Montego Bay). I loved the pics that I saw of GPJ but the lack of communication with the wedding department was adding to my anxiety and the stress that goes into plannning a wedding. I thought the planning a DW was suppose to be less stressful but dealing with them was proving different. I actually had one of the coordinators tell me that she was not going to answer any questions from me until I confirmed and booked there (the nerve). I had nothing but good experiences with the Riu Montego Bay thus far. But I can't deny the fact that the GPJ appears to be nicer in pics than the RMB but at least I get answers : ).

Phylicia has been pretty good with me. I faxed her documentation (birth cert, passport, divorce papers) and she sent me an email confirmation the same day.

She also told me to go directly to Tai Flora to get the flowers I wanted....and every time I call her she answers the phone.

For all you ladies that have had your wedding or those who are almost done with all the decisions... What about the menus for your reception? What have you selected and was it all from 1 preset menu?

I'm confused!

Thanks for the help!

Hey everyone! I am getting married June 3 at the Grand Palladium and I am a little confused with the pricing. We are having around 40 guests and we chose the tropical package which costs $30 per person for any amount of guests over the 8 included in the package. We also want to rent the Blue Lagoon for a private reception. Last summer, Jascynthia gave me the impression that the Blue Lagoon would be $100 an hour. So I figured it would only cost $300 (for 3 hours) on top of our package price for the Blue Lagoon. Phylicia emailed me a couple of days ago saying it will be $45 per person on top of the $30 per person for a private reception. $75 per person seems really high to me. Has anyone received any other info about this? I am starting to get really worried.

I received a similar quote and was not happy (compared to what others have received). I'm thinking of inventive ways for this to work in my favor. LOL
