Dreamscapes Travel & Lifestyle

DREAMSCAPES WINTER 2017/2018 60 S ome also have best-kept secrets— from hidden beaches in Point Lucea's Grand Palladium Jamaica Resort & Spa to the legendary Burros surfing wave that breaks off Mexico's Grand Palladium Vallarta Resort & Spa. Among the top stories to come out of Pal- ladium Hotel Group recently are the unveiling of two decadent, adults-only The Royal Suites Hotels (TRS Hotels) in the Dominican Republic and Mexico, and the opening of a third, The Royal Suites Coral Hotel (TRS Coral Hotel) in Mexico, slated for fall 2018. According to Jacques De Paep, Palladium Hotel Group Commercial Director for North America, a young, energetic and inventive management team is "totally dedicated to hos- pitality in every sense of the word—and to creating unique experiences for all our guests." These can be big or small, such as the popular Smile Services Program, which infuses an extra dash of delight into celebrations, whether it's a surprise balloon arrangement for a birthday or something more elaborate. TRS HOTELS LAVISH LUXURY ON DESERVING ADULTS Innovative thinking in response to a bur- geoning adults-only market has raised VIP service at TRS Hotels to new heights. Oper- ating as private clubs with their own concierges and butlers, they are "hotels within hotels." In addition to exclusive TRS Hotels services, bars and eateries, guests have unlimited access to neighbouring Grand Palladium Hotels & Resorts. All guests of TRS Hotels receive preferential dining within those Grand Palladium Hotels & Resorts in restaurants offering healthy options, special diet menus and adven- turous cuisine tastings. And for those needing additional pam- pering or a fitness program, access to the wet areas of any Zentropia Palladium Spa & Wellness facility is complimentary. BY E.
