KINGSTON, Jamaica– The Excellence Group Luxury Hotels & Resorts will on June 1 become the newest member of the country’s growing fleet of luxury brands with the opening of its US$110 million hotel in Oyster Bay, Trelawny, in the northwest of the island.

With the opening, Excellence Group will join Royalton Resorts, owners of Royalton White Sands and Blue Waters, and Melia Hotels International, which operates the Melia Braco, as the three main internationally recognized brands to set up operations in Trelawny.

Built on a private peninsula and located just 35 minutes from the Sangster International Airport, Excellence Oyster Bay will offer nightly entertainment, daily activities, eight world-class restaurants, nine bars, state-of-the-art fitness facilities, two beachfront swimming pools, a chill-out lounge with rooftop pool, the exclusive Excellence Club, and the brand’s famous Miilé Spa.

Minister of Tourism Edmund Bartlett says the opening of the hotel will further raise the country’s stock as a premier destination for luxury travel.

“Following the flurry of openings we had in 2017 with luxury brands such as the Jewel Grande Montego Bay Resort & Spa, Zoetry Montego Bay, and Breathless Montego Bay, here we are again with another crowning jewel,” he beamed.

“This is yet another testament to Jamaica’s ever increasing status as the top Caribbean destination for high-end travel.”
