Princess Hotels & Resorts, a prominent Spanish hotel group, has expanded its footprint to Jamaica with the launch of two all-inclusive, luxury resorts: Princess Senses The Mangrove and Princess Grand Jamaica, on November 1.
This is the company’s first venture in Jamaica, a significant addition to its Caribbean portfolio. Located along a peaceful cove on Green Island, the resorts are set amidst lush mangroves and offer oceanfront views, creating a serene escape 34 miles from Montego Bay Airport.
Marc Pelfort, regional director of sales and marketing, expressed his enthusiasm for the launch, highlighting the emphasis on personalized service that Princess Hotels & Resorts brings to Jamaica. “Our team is the heart of Princess Hotels and Resorts Jamaica, and we are proud to employ local talent who bring their unique perspectives and warmth to our service,” Pelfort stated. “We are not just building a resort; we are cultivating a culture of luxury and personalized service that elevates every guest experience to new heights. As we celebrate this grand opening, we look forward to establishing Princess Hotels and Resorts Jamaica as a premier destination in the Caribbean.”
Exclusive experiences for couples and families
The resorts cater to distinct guest preferences, with Princess Senses The Mangrove offering an adult-only experience. This resort features 401 ocean-view suites and 14 unique overwater villas with infinity pools and partially glass floors. Each villa and suite includes balconies and terraces, some with swim-out pool access. For couples seeking something extra special, Pleasure Suites offer a private and intimate setting, while Platinum Club suites include exclusive club areas, enhanced amenities, and dedicated butler service. With 14 restaurants, 15 bars, and a rejuvenating spa, The Mangrove is designed for indulgence and tranquility.
Meanwhile, Princess Grand Jamaica provides a family-friendly experience, featuring an aquatic park, a kids’ club, a thematic entertainment zone, and a nanny service to keep younger guests engaged. Families can stay in 590 ocean-view suites or choose Family and Master suites, ideal for larger groups. Platinum suites offer upgraded amenities and a personal butler service. Guests at Grand Jamaica have access to three pools with water slides, nine diverse restaurants, and eight bars. The culinary offerings span Jamaican, Italian, Mexican, and Asian cuisines, ensuring a broad variety to suit all tastes.
Commitment to sustainability and environmental education
The two resorts are built with sustainability at their core, incorporating energy self-sufficiency through systems for generating electricity, natural gas, and water. “Jamaica is the perfect place for Princess Hotels & Resorts to expand its offerings,” said Enrico Pezzoli, the resorts’ general manager. “Not only are the resorts beautiful, but they are built with intentional infrastructure to be as sustainable as possible. We have committed to local environmentalists to preserve the precious mangroves that our resorts are built around and will provide educational programs for children about how the mangroves function.”
Pezzoli further emphasized the practical benefits of the resort’s infrastructure. “Additionally, we are completely self-sufficient with electricity, natural gas, and water that we produce through wells, which provides a more consistent quality and ability to self-sustain in case of bad storms,” he explained.
This project marks the largest international investment in Jamaica’s history, with the development of extensive staff facilities to house and support a growing workforce. Once at full occupancy, Princess Hotels & Resorts anticipates employing around 1,600 individuals, one-third of whom are expected to live on-site. This initiative includes accommodations for up to 450 team members, providing incentives to attract and retain talent within the local community.
In celebration of the grand opening, both resorts are offering an exclusive promotion, featuring a 50% discount on bookings along with complimentary roundtrip airport transfers for guests staying a minimum of three nights. Travelers are encouraged to book early to take advantage of this offer and experience Jamaica’s newest luxury destinations.
