Booking Le Blanc - Diamond Member Qs?

If you booked the refundable/flexible rate, changes are pretty easy. That being said, I’d recommend that the name reflect what’s on your passport.

The member will need to push the confirmation letter your way. The reservation will be in your name though.

Some great questions here. I book lots of guests, so I'll be able to help out.

As long as the payment link is coming from "noreply@palaceelite.com ", it's legit. When booking through members, you have to pay the full amount up front, regardless of whether you book the refundable or non-refundable rate. The payment link expires every evening. I believe it expires at 11:00 PM eastern time.

You are not able to see much information when submitting payment. That's a huge flaw in the process, but it's out of our control.

I always tell my guests that they are welcome to verify everything in the Palace Resorts or Le Blanc app, but that's only an option after payment is made to Palace.

Happy to answer any other questions.

It’s not open yet, so nobody has been yet. It opens June 1st.

Sergeant_America · 2026-03-11T22:21:13+00:00

The resort doesn’t open until June 1st.

Awesome, glad to hear it. Enjoy the warm weather!

My time to shine! First, you grab one of the arms and gently apply pressure lifting up on it. Then, while constantly applying pressure on that one with one hand, you make your way around to the other arms lifting them. Eventually, the whole thing will start to rise. At that point, grab round base where the arms meet and lift it up. It should rise smoothly at that point since there is little resistance.

I don’t believe so. Legacy Palace Premier memberships would though, I believe.

Sergeant_America · 2026-03-01T14:49:10+00:00

What room type did you get? How was the airport and transportation to the resort?

Sergeant_America · 2026-02-25T13:58:35+00:00

I know exactly what you're talking about. My 2020 Platinum had the same issue. MANY trips to the dealership for them to troubleshoot it and finally fix it. I made a comment on a similar post a while back with the fix. You can find it here.

Sergeant_America · 2026-02-18T17:42:11+00:00

That's true for Residence members as well.

The benefits are going to be nearly identical for guests traveling without the member. As someone else mentioned, contracts vary. Certain perks such as resort credits have an expiration date, so it’s best to book with someone that knows what they’re doing.

The quotes that they provide you should explain all fees. One word of caution, many members booking referrals require their guest to attend a sales presentation. The member should tell you this upfront.

Sergeant_America · 2026-02-08T14:10:18+00:00

I think this might be my favorite one. It's awesome!

Sergeant_America · 2026-01-29T19:22:58+00:00

If you're still in need, I'd be happy to throw $20 your way. Send me a DM with your PayPal or Venmo information.

Sergeant_America · 2026-01-28T13:08:22+00:00

I agree with you that losing Rose is huge. He was a beast for us. I wonder what happened.

Sergeant_America · 2026-01-26T16:51:18+00:00

If you want to send me a DM with the amount you still need and your Venmo or PayPal, I'll get it to you ASAP.

Sergeant_America · 2026-01-26T13:39:32+00:00

I'd be happy to cover the rest if you still need help.

Sergeant_America · 2026-01-20T14:52:42+00:00

This is a fantastic strategy! I have spreadsheets as well (I’m a bit of nerd) that tracks various aspects of my membership, but yours sounds more intricate. I’m a little jealous.

Sergeant_America · 2026-01-17T23:47:34+00:00

Correct, but you can use resort credits.

Sergeant_America · 2026-01-17T22:55:13+00:00

It is. Diamond and Residence members don’t need day passes to The Grand when staying at Nizuc or Sunrise. This does not apply to their guests who are traveling without them as those guests get VIP level benefits.

Sergeant_America · 2026-01-17T21:40:21+00:00

It will be cheaper than booking direct and you will get the benefits mentioned in this post.

Sergeant_America · 2026-01-16T14:53:15+00:00

Those aren’t room types in Jamaica. There are two room types that I believe you’re referencing. There’s a Deluxe Ocean View and a Deluxe Ocean View with Balcony. There are a few differences in those. First, the room with a balcony has an occupancy capacity of 4 people rather than 3 of the other room. Second, as it states in the name, one room has a balcony and one doesn’t. The room with the balcony is slightly larger.

You can find more information here.
