MONTEGO BAY, JAMAICA—The official grand opening ceremony for Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall and Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall, Hyatt’s first dual-branded all-inclusive resort in Jamaica, was celebrated on March 20.
Jamaica’s Prime Minister, Portia Simpson Miller, touted the opening as a “monumental milestone for Jamaica’s tourism.” The prime minister joined the resort’s owners and operators, Playa Hotels & Resorts B.V. (Playa), in a ribbon cutting ceremony and gala evening to mark the official opening of the 620-guestroom resort that is the culmination of a more than $85-million renovation and recreation of this beachfront site.
Miller said, “The opening of resorts like these is significant for the tourism industry, our economy and our people. We want our industry to grow not simply in quantity but in quality, and the new Hyatt Ziva and Hyatt Zilara hotels represent quality.”
“We are delighted to celebrate the arrival of Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall and Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall at this vibrant destination with the local community and resort owners,” said Carlos Cabrera, SVP of all-inclusive operations for Hyatt. “The resort transformation has been spectacular and true to offering two distinctive all inclusive experiences, for families and for adults, within one contiguous resort destination. We look forward to welcoming back guests and inviting new Hyatt guests to discover the breadth of activities or relaxation they seek from a Jamaican getaway.”
