Royalton Hotels and Resorts returns to Jamaica in full strength. Now with five resorts open, the brand has achieved its milestone of re-establishing and re-strengthening its Jamaican footprint.
Announced on 15th September 2026, this comprehensive re-opening expands to five signature properties in Montego Bay and Negril following major capital investments in redesigning public spaces, rooms, building sustainable infrastructure, and digital technology upgrades.
Across all the properties, there have been extensive enhancements in redesigning suites and guestrooms, which blend contemporary luxury with Jamaican accents.
Contactless technology enhances guest autonomy with interactive in-room TVs, high-speed Wi-Fi extending to the beach, and an intuitive resort app.
Pre-arrival tools like digital pre-check-in and online room selection make arrival times smooth. An interactive AI concierge will also launch in the coming months, offering quick, round-the-clock assistance.
Royalton Hotels & Resorts’ distinct experiences across Montego Bay and Negril
On the western coast of Jamaica, Royalton Negril stands out as the premier, multigenerational resort that is equipped with seven bars, nine restaurants, pickleball courts, a splash park and an outdoor theatre that is ready to host high-energy nightly events.
Near to it, the Royalton Hideaway Negril will cater to adults who seek refined connection with dedicated beach areas, oceanfront pools and swim-out suites.
