SANDALS RESORTS INTERNATIONAL EXPRESSES INTEREST IN JOLLY BEACH PROPERTY

Sandals Resorts International has reportedly expressed an interest in the dormant Jolly Beach Resort.
Information Minister Hon. Melford Nicholas provided the update at this week’s post-cabinet media briefing, indicating that the interest from SRI is one of the options in the medium to long term plan for the property which sits on a prime beach-front location.
Sandals, a Jamaican hotel chain started by the late Gordon ‘Butch’ Stewart, currently operates sixteen other resorts across the Caribbean, including the Sandals Grande Antigua Resort & Spa.
Minister Nicholas says in the interim, work will begin next week for the short-term rehabilitation of the property readying it for the November start of the winter tourism season.
