Jamaica's Prime Minister Declares the Opening of New Hyatt Properties

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, 2015. 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 more than an $85 million dollar renovation and recreation of this iconic beachfront site at Rose Hall.

Spanning 1,200 feet of private, pristine coastline on the turquoise Caribbean, Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall and Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall share the same resort grounds and combine to form an unparalleled, all inclusive resort experience.

Dining takes center stage and is led by an international culinary team that oversees unique offerings in each of the àla carte, buffet and innovative poolside 'food cart' experiences. The fresh flavors of the Caribbean are creatively melded into unmatched dining experiences ranging from the casual local favorites of Jamaican Jerk to an authentic Churrascaria Brazilian Steak House, to Jamaica's only Moroccan style Fez Roof Top Lounge. Guests may enjoy an explosion of tastes, cultures and fine dining all complemented with an excellent wine and spirit collection served by creative mixologists and rum sommeliers.

The guest experience begins with complimentary airport transfers and an exclusive lounge at Montego Bay's Sangster International Airport. On property, guests enjoy a complimentary round of golf at the world-class White Witch and Cinnamon Hill courses, as well as spontaneous moments throughout the resort – everything from beach activities, to thoughtful insight into Jamaican culture and music, as well as little surprises such as frozen treats delivered by poolside butlers, rum tastings, and marshmallow roasts.

For additional relaxation there are two swimmable beaches, a state-of-the-art Fitness Center with Pilates and Yoga classes, as well as complimentary use of the hydrotherapy circuit at the resort's Spa. Indulgent spa treatments, massages, facials and body wraps may also be booked at an additional charge and enjoyed in the spa's treatment suites or outside in sheltered oceanfront venues overlooking the Caribbean.
