NEW YORK CITY, New York - Travel Agent was on hand Tuesday morning for a Sandals Resorts International breakfast, in which Adam Stewart, the company's CEO, told attending media of the company's plans to build five over-the-water suites at Sandals Royal Caribbean Resort & Private Island in Montego Bay, Jamaica.

The over-the-water suites will also be built in St. Lucia at the Sandals Grande St. Lucian, although that project is still being held up, says Stewart. However, the over-the-water suites at both resorts will be by different designers, Stewart says. Stewart says work on the over-the-water suites in Jamaica could begin by the first or second quarter of 2014.

A program of enhancements is planned to further ‘Sandalize’ the property, with changes to the design aesthetic and the addition of new restaurants, for a total of seven gourmet dining choices throughout the resort, to choose from.

Sandals Royal Bahamian Spa Resort & Offshore Island

Sandals Royal Bahamian Spa Resort & Offshore Island in Nassau, The Bahamas is in the midst of multi-million dollar renovation of the resort’s Windsor building.  Scheduled to be completed in January 2014, each of the building’s 174 suites will undergo complete refurbishment including updated furnishings and the installation of new bathrooms that will feature Carrera marble and glass mosaics as well as magnificent new showers or deep tubs.  All-new swim-up suites will also be created, with the addition of a spectacular river pool on the ground floor.  

A Zen Garden, complete with peaceful water features and serene gardens will also be a part of the renovations, providing guests a quiet and private escape.   Last year, the former Manor Building at Sandals Royal Bahamian underwent a complete transformation both inside and out reopening with a spectacular new contemporary feel.  Renamed ‘The Balmoral Tower’ in recognition of its rich regal history, the $17.5m renovation was unveiled to much acclaim and has since attracted glowing praise from both the travel industry and guests alike. 

Also, the Windsor building at Sandals Royal Bahamian will soon debut a fresh and contemporary feel for clients of these luxurious suites.

 

Sandals Negril Beach Resort & Spa

Set on Negril’s famed seven-mile beach, Sandals Negril’s Paradise Block will get a complete makeover with a newer contemporary design that includes fresh and modern furnishings and color schemes, along with the addition of expansive patios to walkout rooms on the ground floor and the creation of romantic French balconies on the 2nd and 3rd floors.  Bathrooms will also be redesigned with contemporary marble, mahogany and glass finishes.  

The ground floor of the Paradise Block at Sandals Negril will feature walkout rooms with expansive patios only steps away from the beautiful seven-mile beach.
