Fully Recovered: Royalton Hotels’ Complete Jamaica Portfolio Is Now Open

Nearly a year after Hurricane Melissa ravaged parts of Jamaica, Royalton Hotels & Resorts has officially reopened its complete island portfolio, welcoming guests back to five resorts across Negril and Montego Bay following a significant investment in accommodations, public spaces and the overall guest experience.

Royalton Negril, Royalton Hideaway Negril and Grand Lido Negril are now welcoming guests on Jamaica’s celebrated west coast, while Royalton Blue Waters and Royalton Hideaway Blue Waters have reopened in Montego Bay.

Across the five resorts, extensive enhancements have introduced completely redesigned guestrooms and suites, blending a fresh, contemporary aesthetic and distinctive Jamaican character with modern sophistication. Refreshed public spaces and resort environments further complement the transformation across each property.

Inside the rooms, Royalton says the experience combines design with the technology and conveniences expected by today’s traveller. Interactive in-room televisions, high-speed Wi-Fi extending throughout the resorts and onto the beach, and each hotel’s interactive app place the stay in the guest’s hands. 

Travellers can connect with the resort team, speak with a concierge, order room service, explore daily activities, review resort information and more, directly from their device. In the months following the resorts’ reopening, this digital experience will expand further with the introduction of a fully interactive AI concierge, providing guests with an additional way to access instant assistance and information.

The technology also extends to the pre-arrival experience. Through Online Room Selection, travellers can select their preferred room before arriving at the resort, adding another level of choice and personalization to their stay, while also beginning the arrival process through pre-check-in to help streamline and improve check-in times upon arrival.

In Negril, Royalton Resorts brings together one of the destination’s most diverse resort offerings, with experiences spanning family and multigenerational travel, adults-only escapes and an intimate au naturel retreat.

• Royalton Negril is one of the area’s few resorts designed to offer experiences for travellers across generations. The beachfront resort features nine restaurants, seven bars, multiple swimming pools, a children’s splash park, and extensive sports and fitness facilities, alongside modern accommodations, pickleball courts, recreation, kids’ programming, and a robust entertainment offering. 
• Within the same destination, Royalton Hideaway Negril offers an adults-only experience centred on connection and togetherness, with dedicated spaces complemented by the brand’s Book 1, Enjoy 2 concept. Guests enjoy access to dining, entertainment and amenities of neighboring Royalton Negril, including a combined 12 bars and 12 restaurants, while still having their own dedicated beach areas, oceanfront pools and swim-out suites.
• Completing the Negril collection, Grand Lido Negril delivers something entirely different: an intimate adults-only au naturel resort experience in a private beachfront setting, offering a level of seclusion rarely found within a larger all-inclusive destination.

In Montego Bay, Royalton Blue Waters and Royalton Hideaway Blue Waters create two contrasting experiences along an expansive stretch of beachfront.

Royalton Blue Waters returns as a lively beachfront resort where the experience is built around both the Caribbean Sea and entertainment. Families and groups can enjoy nine restaurants, seven bars, multiple pools, a lazy river, a pirate-themed water park, kids’ club and teen disco nights, The Royal Spa, and Royalton FIT, alongside water activities and an outdoor theatre featuring large-scale nightly productions.

Just steps away, Royalton Hideaway Blue Waters offers its counterpoint: an adults-only oasis designed around relaxation, privacy and connection. The resort features 352 suites, dedicated adults-only areas and a private islet just offshore. Through Royalton Hideaway’s signature Book 1, Enjoy 2 concept, guests also enjoy access to neighbouring Royalton Blue Waters, expanding the combined experience to 12 restaurants and 11 bars.

Sustainability also extends to resort infrastructure through the Royalton Sustainability Standards. Solar panels at Royalton Negril and Royalton Blue Waters have been reinstalled and are expected to once again generate more than 634,000 kWh of renewable energy annually. 

Royalton’s next chapter in Jamaica is taking shape with the upcoming opening of Royalton CHIC Jamaica Paradise Cove, an adults-only lifestyle resort set to debut in summer 2027. The new property will bring the Royalton CHIC Resorts brand to Jamaica for the first time, introducing a social, design-forward experience.

Reservations are available across all five resorts and the upcoming Royalton CHIC Jamaica Paradise Cove.
