Secrets Resorts & Spas Set to Enter Jamaica in 2010

Secrets Resorts & Spas, the luxury resort brand offering Unlimited-Luxury vacations for adults only, will officially open its first Jamaican properties early next year. In March 2010, Secrets St. James Montego Bay and Secrets Wild Orchid Montego Bay -- two new exclusive all-suites resorts -- will be situated side by side on a beachfront location. “With its illustrious natural beauty, premium tourism offerings and consistent appeal, Jamaica is a destination of choice for Secrets Resorts & Spas,” said Alex Zozaya, president and CEO of AMResorts. “Despite a downturn in tourist arrivals in other Caribbean countries, Jamaica ended 2008 with a four percent growth in tourism over the previous year.”

Guests of these two new Secrets Resorts & Spas will have the freedom to explore each property as they please, and enjoy eight gourmet á la carte dining options ranging from elegant to swim-up, seven chic bars and lounges, large free-form swimming pools and beachfront Jacuzzis, and world-class spas and Beach Club. A main plaza conveniently located between the two resorts also will present guests with a host of activities and entertainment options including a game room, boutiques, cafes, movies and more.

Secrets St. James, set on a pristine beach area on Montego Bay peninsula, is located just 30 minutes from Montego Bay International Airport. The 350-all-suites resort will feature British Colonial-style architecture and elegant d&eactute;cor in warm tones with dark wood accents. Oversized four-poster beds, extra-large showers, Jacuzzis for two, private balconies and Secrets’ signature discrete room service, along with access to pools and ocean views offer guests a romantic retreat. For relaxation, the spa offers indoor and outdoor facilities, the latest hydrotherapy treatments and a state-of-the-art fitness center.

Featuring a contemporary and chic design, Secrets Wild Orchid sits on a half mile of private beach on the Montego Bay peninsula. This 350-all-suite resort takes inspiration from the island surroundings with its warm neutral tones and unique indigenous art. Select suites at the property offer private, swim out access to the free-form pool surrounding the resort. Lush gardens and sparkling fountains surround the resort’s 15,000-square-foot spa and set the stage for a variety of pampering treatments. Zozaya said that combined Secrets St. James and Secrets Wild Orchid offer a multitude of amenities and activities to afford guests a vacation experience unlike any other.

In addition to luxurious and spacious accommodations, members of Preferred Club-recognized properties will be invited to enjoy the benefits and offerings of each resort, its restaurants, lounges, spas, open-air theater and more.
