While CJ’s Caribbean Travel Awards have become a significant annual event in the wider region, we realized that it was important to honor not just those doing great work at the regional level, but at the local level, too, That’s why we’ve launched the first-ever CJ Jamaica Travel Awards, part of a series we’ll be doing across the Caribbean region, that celebrates the best of hospitality in Jamaica in 2016, with categories including Hotel of the Year, Small Hotel of the Year, All-Inclusive of the Year, New Hotel of the Year, Hotelier of the Year, Attraction of the Year, Destination of the Year and the Palm Award, which honors those making a difference in hospitality.

Jamaica Travel Awards

Hotel of the Year — Half Moon 

When you think of the great hotels of the Caribbean, the grand hotels of the Caribbean, it is a select club. But right at the top of the list is this: the 400-acre, spectacular Half Moon, a place that preserves the romance of the jet-set era in the West Indies. This marvelous property (with some of the Caribbean’s most beautiful guest rooms), has that perfect cocktail of warm service, luxury and ambience — while never losing its sense of Jamaica.
