This Negril, Jamaica All-Inclusive Resort Is Reopening 

Negril, Jamaica’s famous treehouse hotel is back open again after the passage of Hurricane Beryl through the island. 

Sunset at the Palms, the 85-room, adults-only, all-inclusive resort located in Negril, Jamaica, is reopening to guests on Saturday, July 20, after embarking on a resort-wide cleanup effort in the wake of Hurricane Beryl. 

Celebrating its 21st anniversary this month, the boutique resort stood strong during the recent storm. Though the resort sustained very little structural damage, the hurricane did impact its famed trees, flowers and other vegetation.

“Sunset at the Palms weathered the storm remarkably well, and our guests, staff, and beloved goat Betty and her kids all remained safe,” said Evatt Bloomfield, the resort’s general manager. “Our thoughts are with the fellow Jamaican communities, Caribbean islands and resorts that didn’t fare as well as we did, and we appreciate the show of support demonstrated by so many of our past guests and industry friends.”

Sunset at the Palms said it was inviting both returning and new guests to pack hurricane-relief items – including new or gently used clothing, First Aid kits, toiletries, children’s toys and books, flashlights and power banks (which must be packed in carry-on bags) – so the staff can donate items to people recovering from the hurricane in Negril and its surrounding communities.

“We feel for our island and all its people, and we want to help everyone we can,” Bloomfield said. “Our guests have always been like family, and family helps each other. We are most thankful for them and for their desire to lend a hand.”
