"Having six resorts recognized among the Caribbean's best speaks to the outstanding work of these properties and the dedication of the people who make Jamaica one of the region's leading destinations," Bartlett said.
The Travel + Leisure World's Best Awards are based on reader surveys that rate hotels and resorts on factors including rooms and facilities, location, service, food and overall value.
Director of Tourism Donovan White said the rankings underscore Jamaica's continued appeal among international travelers.
"Travel + Leisure readers have once again highlighted what makes Jamaica such a compelling choice for travelers seeking memorable experiences," White said. "This recognition reinforces the global appeal of our destination and the strong connection visitors continue to build with Jamaica."
The six resorts showcase a range of experiences across the island, from Negril's cliffside escapes and Seven Mile Beach to the historic elegance of Ocho Rios, Montego Bay's luxury retreats and the laid-back atmosphere of Treasure Beach.
