A COMPLETE RESORT DESTINATION - JAMAICA TOURIST ISSUE 15
Leading the island’s renaissance, The Palmyra made history when breaking ground in November 2005 for the first luxury condo hotel located directly on the pristine waterfront in Rose Hall Montego Bay. Only a 15 minute drive from Donald Sangster International Airport, the exclusive enclave is quickly becoming a complete vacation and business destination by itself, incorporating the soon to open Montego Bay Conference Centre, first class shopping and the outstanding amenities The Palmyra, a Solis Resort & Spa has to offer.
On December 19, 2009, just in time for the Christmas season, The Palmyra opened its doors to residence owners, who were excited to now enjoy the world-class luxury living The Palmyra offers. The resort has been carefully crafted to appeal to discerning, well-traveled guests, a concept, which combines a new sense of luxury with superior customer service. The Palmyra offers facilities, service, amenities, food and beverage and entertainment to please today’s most fastidious guests, setting a new standard in hospitality. Says General Manager Lester Scott, “The Palmyra provides an atmosphere in which residents feel special to live and guests will wish they lived!”
MAGNIFICENT OUTDOOR LIVING
Located on the pristine beachfront of Rose Hall, The Palmyra offers all the amenities one should expect at a Caribbean island resort and more. Owners and guests of this luxury resort property have a chance to enjoy one of the best beaches in the Caribbean. More than US$3.5 million has been invested in the creation of an environmentally friendly, natural ecosystem and the preservation of existing marine life on The Palmyra coastline. 23,000 sq.ft. of marine sea grass and 97 coral heads including finger coral, star coral, starlet, hill and fire corals have been relocated offshore to enable dredging of the bottom to provide a clear, sandy swimming beach. White powdery sand, and the turquoise water of the Caribbean invite you to a day at the beach while the stunning oversized pool and Jacuzzi are only steps away for a dip. Beachside amenities include cabanas, restaurant services, refreshments, snorkeling, kayaking and other water sports.
HEARTBEAT AND SOCIAL HUB, THE PALMYRA CLUBHOUSE
The Clubhouse, which includes a full service restaurant and bar with plenty of terrace dining, overlooks the elegant palm tree-lined pool, which stretches out to the beachfront promenade. Centrally located between the Sabal and Silver Palm Towers, the Solis team is planning activities and fun during the day and into the night for kids and families to enjoy.
MEETING AND CONVENTION PERFECTION
In addition, the Clubhouse features extensive meeting, convention and function space such as a 4,300 sq. ft. ballroom which seats 350 people and has standing room for 450, the Solís Meeting Room with 1,800 sq. ft. for 140 people seated and 190 standing and six additional meeting rooms that range from 700 to 1,800 sq. ft. and 10,000 sq. ft. of stunning event lawns are available for lavish outdoor functions, while the ocean gazebo, which is set 300 ft. into the Caribbean Sea, poses the most romantic spot one could choose for an intimate wedding.
With the addition of the Montego Bay Convention Centre, set to open in 2011, the area hotels, including The Palmyra will benefit from the addition of much needed large convention space. The modern Convention Centre will provide space for more than 6,500 persons in its Banquet Hall, Meeting Rooms and dedicated Exhibition Space. While the Banquet Hall will accommodate up to 2,000 persons on 21,000 sq.ft. of divisible floor space, the Meeting Rooms will house up to 700 persons on 12,000 sq.ft. of area, divisible into eight breakout rooms. Additionally, the 52,000 sq.ft. Exhibition Space will accommodate 4,000 persons theatre-style, divisible into two halls.

A GOLFER’S PARADISE, JUST MINUTES AWAY
Smacked into a golfer’s paradise, The Palmyra has three incredible golf courses in immediate reach; White Witch, Cinnamon Hill, and Half Moon. 54 holes of championship golfing, all with their own special characteristics, which will satisfy any golfers’ desire and skill level.
COMING ONBOARD IN EARLY 2011, THE PALMYRA ESPA
Overlooking the breathtaking shades of blues and greens of the Caribbean Sea, the 30,000 sqft Palmyra ESPA has been described as the first destination spa of its kind in the region. Designed under the guidance of world-renowned spa authority, Susan Harmsworth, CEO and Founder of ESPA, the stunning facility is a classical, two-storey building with open-air porticos surrounding a reflecting lily-pond; a tranquil space that takes full advantage of the wonderful views. With 100 spas across 24 countries, the award winning ESPA has proven to delight even the most seasoned spa enthusiasts. Now, Harmsworth is bringing her expertise to Jamaica and her passion for delivering perfection will surely enchant guests waiting to enjoy the spa, which has been painstakingly created to bring sophisticated travelers a piece of sought after heaven. Encompassing 11 multi-functional treatment rooms, three private treatment suites, a finishing studio, an outdoor relaxation terrace with hot and cold pools overlooking the ocean, aromatic steam rooms, Finnish saunas, lifestyle showers, ice fountains, and stunning ocean views; The Palmyra ESPA has it all.
TOP CLASS MANAGEMENT
Hotel management company Solis, founded by legendary hotelier Horst Schulze, has been charged with the task of delivering the service standards at this ultimate retreat. The driving force behind the Ritz-Carlton’s rise to prominence, Schulze is an obvious fit for the luxury offering at The Palmyra and his skillful, dedicated hotel management team is now devoting their time to fine-tuning the extraordinary experience of The Palmyra.
Explains Lester Scott, General Manager of The Palmyra, “With our beautiful location and the incredible facilities, it is now all about reaching beyond the expectations of our guests by offering unique experiences and truly memorable services. This philosophy includes everyone; families with children, couples on a long weekend, groups of friends getting together…everyone.”
The hotel management team has put their imagination to work to introduce new, innovative products to guests at The Palmyra. Says Scott, “Having a world class destination ESPA spa on property has allowed us the opportunity to transform two of the garden view villas into totally indulgent private spa retreats. Within their own villa sanctuary, guests can be pampered with customized personal treatments as well as healthy food menus from the chef.”
Scott explains, “After a special dinner on the terrace of our signature restaurant, we have plans to move the fun outdoors to around the Sentry pool where we will be featuring a variety of nighttime entertainment and great food and beverage service.” A special, memorable vacation requires artfully prepared, exciting menu choices, and Solis master chef Scott Simpson has spent the past months developing culinary creations he is eager to introduce to the guests and owners of The Palmyra. The restaurants and bars have been beautifully designed for a great dining experience, offering the ambiance for an evening of great food and great service with ample ocean view. With the abundance and variety of locally grown fruits and vegetables, Chef Scott incorporates the unique taste of Jamaica into his dishes.
GREEN
Paving the way for green, eco-friendly development in the Caribbean, The Palmyra has invested US$20 million in the Caribbean’s first tri-generation plant capable of producing electricity, steam and air conditioning. The green power-plant, which produces only 5% of the greenhouse emissions of a regular power-plant, is hurricane resistant and houses enough on-site fuel to last for more than 20 days in the event of an emergency.
THE FUTURE
With the developer approved for a casino license (see ‘Casino Paves Way for Celebration Jamaica’ page 24), that includes sports book and table games such as Roulette, Craps, Blackjack and Baccarat, The Palmyra forms the cornerstone of the island’s first casino & resort development of “Celebration Jamaica”, a US$1.8B master plan development set to be rolled out on 65 acres of oceanfront land adjacent to The Palmyra.
CASINO LAW PAVES WAY FOR CELEBRATION JAMAICA
The signing into law last May of Jamaica’s casino legislation now paves the way for private investments in large-scale integrated casino hotels on the island, that should catapult Jamaica to the pinnacle of Caribbean tourist destinations. Foremost among these investments is Celebration Jamaica, a multi-layered resort and casino development planned by developers of the luxurious Palmyra Resort & Spa condominium hotel. The proposed mega development, anticipated to become a significant competitor to the world’s best destination resorts, is to be located on 65 acres of ocean front land adjacent to The Palmyra in Rose Hall, Montego Bay.
