Two New All-Inclusive Resorts Just Opened in Jamaica: One for Families, the Other Adults-Only
Maybe you know Montego Bay. Or Negril. Or Ocho Rios. Or maybe you’ve been to further frontiers like Port Antonio and Treasure Beach. But the newest Jamaica all-inclusive resorts are in a destination you probably haven’t heard of: Green Island, about halfway between Mobay and Negril.
Spanish hotel firm Princess Hotels and Resorts just opened a pair of new resorts in the area: Princess Senses The Mangrove, an adults-only resort, and Princess Grand Jamaica, a family-friendly property — both the first-ever Jamaica hotels for the brand.
The adults-only Princess Senses has 401 rooms, all of which are suites, joined by 14 overwater bungalows — some of just a handful available in the country. Each overwater unit comes with its own infinity pool, too. Overall, the adults-only resort has 29 different food and beverage outlets.
If you’re not staying in an overwater room, you can choose from swim-out suites, terrace rooms or suites with their own balconies. There are also “pleasure suites,” with private hydromassage hot tubs and unique room designs. Overwater villas start at $1,453 per night.
The family-friendly Princess Grand Jamaica ticks all the boxes for families, particularly with kids: you get a water park, a kids club, a special space just for teens and even special larger family suites with more space for bigger groups. At the Jamaica Grand, you get 590 suites, all with ocean views, along with 17 different food and beverage concepts.
“This opening has truly been a labor of love with all team members pitching in to strive for a seamless guest experience,” Princess’ Kareen Hall told Caribbean Journal. “We are proud to make history as the largest investment in hospitality industry the island has ever seen.”
So what about price?
Rooms at the Princess Senses The Mangrove are running at $794 per night. That gets you a deluxe junior suite, one of 183 at the property.
At the Princess Grand Jamaica, a junior suite starts at $438 per night, all-inclusive. A swim-out room will cost you $489.
