Hyatt Is Keeping These 7 Jamaica All-Inclusive Resorts Closed Until Late 2026

Hyatt has extended the suspension of operations at seven of its Jamaica resorts following Hurricane Melissa-related damage, pushing the reopening timeline for most of its all-inclusive portfolio on the island into late 2026, Caribbean Journal has learned.

In a notice shared with travel partners, Hyatt said that after completing a detailed assessment of the physical damage sustained at its properties, the company decided to extend closures until Nov. 1, 2026. The affected resorts include Breathless Montego Bay Resort & Spa and Dreams Rose Hall Resort & Spa, along with the adjacent Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall and Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall properties. Also remaining closed through that date are Secrets St. James Montego Bay and Secrets Wild Orchid Montego Bay, as well as Jewel Grande Montego Bay Resort & Spa.

Together, those seven resorts make up the core of Hyatt’s all-inclusive footprint in Jamaica, concentrated primarily in Montego Bay and the Rose Hall area. The closures affect both adults-only and family-friendly brands within Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection and represent the majority of the company’s resort inventory on the island.

As Caribbean Journal previously reported, Hyatt initially suspended operations at eight Jamaica resorts in the immediate aftermath of the storm, indicating at the time that closures would extend into early 2026 while damage assessments were underway. The latest update confirms that most of those properties will now remain offline significantly longer as repair and restoration work continues.

Hyatt’s eighth Jamaica property, Zoëtry Montego Bay Jamaica, is not included in the extended closure notice and is expected to reopen earlier, consistent with the company’s earlier guidance. Hyatt has not yet confirmed whether that is the case;

Hyatt has not released additional details on the scope of the damage or the nature of the work planned at the affected resorts, nor has it announced any phased reopening schedule ahead of the Nov. 1, 2026 date. In earlier communications, the company said it was working directly with impacted guests on cancellations and refunds.

The extended shutdown represents a major disruption for Montego Bay’s resort sector, where the affected Hyatt properties have long been among the area’s most prominent all-inclusive offerings.
