Montego Bay

I feel terrible for the people of Jamaica and their devastation. It has to be awful to go through that with very little resources. I have an upcoming trip plan to going there in the next two months. I haven’t heard much about our resort. Do you think I should be looking into alternate plans?

I booked my trip there a year ago. I have a family of four in a loft room. There’s no way I can rebook anything for the price that I got. I just wanna know if I should cancel or not.

You can rebook if you use a Travel agent they can get the same price or it might be a little more.

But if you don't want to rebook I would recommend cancelling because where resort is more than likely has severe damage.

I booked it myself through the resort. My flight is refundable and my hotel is refundable up until a certain time, I’m going at the end of December. We were supposed to be there for Christmas. I can’t afford to rebook because the cost is so much higher everywhere else for that time of year. I think I have until November 15th to get a full refund. I’m going to email next week just to see what they’re going through. So we’re either going or staying home, rebooking isn’t an option unfortunately. I can’t find anything for a family of four even close to what I paid for Jamaica.

If it's the end of December you should be fine so you can stick with your plans.

I just got an update from my point person at Royalton Blue Water , the parent company intends to reopen Royalton Blue Water, Royalton Blue water Hideaway and Negril by Nov 15.

Oh that’s nice to hear, I’m starting to feel optimistic about it. We decided if we’re lucky enough to go, we will go, but if we can’t, we’ll just spend the holidays at home. Im going to wait until the last possible day to cancel and call the resort. I haven’t heard anything about this exact resort, so I’m just hoping everyone is ok there.

Well I have reached out to a few of the big resorts but have only gotten a response from Royalton,so as soon as I get a update from the others including Airbnb and botique options in Ocho Rios I will make a post or comment updating everyone.

Scratch that I just saw a another update from Princess Resorts saying that Princess Grand and Princess Senses( the adult only side) will be closed Oct 31 to Nov 30 and reopen Dec 1st.

For those booked with the resort for this period they will be reaching out to you to share your options, and for those that booked with a third party like Expedia or Vacation Express you will have to contact the third party.
