A SMALL 'TASTE' OF THE PALMYRA - JAMAICA TOURIST ISSUE 12
Carefully crafted to appeal to discerning, well-traveled guests, The Palmyra concept combines a new sense of luxury with superior customer service. With amenities that include a world-class signature spa, two restaurants and three championship golf courses, the island’s premier resort is carefully crafted to appeal to today’s discriminating guests. Now just months from opening, we get an insight of what we can expect when the doors of The Palmyra, a Solis Resort & Spa open. Says General Manager Lester Scott, “The Palmyra will provide an atmosphere in which residents will feel special to live and guests will wish they lived!”
Located on pristine beachfront in the fashionable enclave of Rose Hall, The Palmyra offers all the amenities one should expect at a Caribbean island resort. Through the model units, owners and future guests of this luxury resort property have been getting a sneak peek of the beauty of the residences and been given an opportunity to tour the beachfront, the pools, the magnificent spa and the Clubhouse. However, the spice and flavor of The Palmyra has yet to be experienced.
Hotel management Solis, a company 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 fine-tuning what will soon be 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 your own villa sanctuary, guests can be pampered with customized personal treatments as well as healthy food menus from the chef.”
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.
GOLFER’S PARADISE
The Palmyra Resort & Spa is situated in a golfer’s paradise. With three incredible golf courses minutes away; White Witch, Cinnamon Hill, and Half Moon, two of the mountain or garden view villas have been transformed into the ultimate golf getaway pad. Says Scott, “After an exciting day of play on the course, everyone can gather on the spacious terracing, with a cigar and brandy, enjoy the breeze, watch the sunset and collect or pay on the bets of the day. Although somewhat of a men’s club experience, the ladies are certainly always welcome.”
The Clubhouse, which includes a full service restaurant and bar with plenty of terrace dining, overlooks an elegant palm tree-lined pool, which stretches out to the beachfront promenade. With the pool 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. When the sun sets, the fun does not end, have you ever considered a “dive-in movie?” Well, no car is required, but wear a bathing suit! Owners and guests alike are sure to enjoy the dramatic design and fantastic location of the Sentry pool, which offers incredible sunset views, multi-layers of beautiful outside terracing overlooking the blue waters of the Caribbean. With the elegant dining restaurant located on the entire first floor of the Sentry Tower, Lester Scott and the Solis team are planning on creating the “hottest place to be seen on the weekends.”
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 looks forward to incorporating the unique taste of Jamaica into his dishes.
