9/10 Wonderful! (1,918 reviews)
Stayed in a Platinum Junior Suite for the honeymoon this week. Would recommend platinum for the ease of booking dinner reservations, excursions, transportation while you are there. The Butler service is very nice when you have platinum, we had Patrice and Rajuan while we were, both were very kind to us and went above and beyond for anything we needed. We stayed on the Princess Grand side of the resort, you are not allowed to some restaurants or half the beach/pools at the resort on the Princess Senses side but we found plenty to do on the Princess Grand side. We stayed 6 nights but wish we could have stayed a bit longer to enjoy more of the resort activities and amenities. They do a very good job at having activities at the pools and other places in the resort every day, there is always something to do. The shows were very well performed as well, they had a band come in and play reggae. Only downside was traffic in Lucea and any excursion was about an hour away. But overall, would recommend for families or a couple.
