Secrets Resorts Opens First Property in Jamaica
Secrets Resorts & Spas opened its first property in Jamaica, the Secrets Wild Orchid Montego Bay.
The new all-suites resort will be joined next month by the Secrets St. James Montego Bay. So far, the two-resort, $180 million project has infused $100 million into the local Jamaican economy and created 1,500 jobs during construction with an additional 950 jobs created for resort operations by the end of 2010. Within the first year, the two properties are projected to receive over 52,000 guests.
Guests of Secrets Wild Orchid can enjoy eight international gourmet á la carte dining options; seven bars and lounges including swim-up; free-form swimming pools and beachfront Jacuzzi; a 15,000-square-foot spa featuring indoor and outdoor spa facilities and hydrotherapy circuit; The Promenade, a main plaza shared by the two resorts offering a host of activities, boutiques, and entertainment and dining options; Seawind Beach Club, complete with couples cabanas, palapas and a gourmet restaurant; on-site sports including tennis, beach volleyball, basketball, soccer and non-motorized water sports, and daily yoga, aerobic, and introductory scuba classes; and over 16,000 square feet of meeting space.
The resort features 350 suites with in-room amenities that include oversized four-poster beds, full entertainment systems complete with LCD flat-screen televisions and CD/DVD players, a Jacuzzi for two, private furnished balconies, luxurious bath amenities, and Secrets’ signature discreet 24-hour room service. In addition to accommodations, the guests of Secrets Wild Orchid will be invited to enjoy many of the benefits and offerings of the Secrets St. James resort and vice versa. These benefits include access to restaurants, lounges, spas, open-air theater and more.
Secrets Resorts & Spas currently has three resorts in Mexico’s Riviera Maya region, one in Cap Cana, Dominican Republic, and is slated to open additional properties in Huatulco and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and the Caribbean by the end of 2012, and also has plans to enter the Aruba market.
