MONTEGO BAY, JAMAICA – (Sept 28, 2017) – X Fund Properties Limited and Aimbridge Hospitality announce the opening of Jewel Grande Montego Bay Resort & Spa nestled on a private cove between Jamaica’s sprawling rolling hills and vibrant Caribbean Sea, a mere fifteen minutes from Sangster International Airport.

An assortment of dining offerings catering to discerning palates, personal butler service, 25,000 square feet of customizable meetings space, and an elaborate villa inspired spa sanctuary are only a few of the noteworthy offerings gracing this island escape.
“Driven by Jamaica’s deeply rooted tradition of hospitality and cultural vibrancy, we wanted to deliver a sophisticated travel experience that’s uniquely our own,” said Rohan Miller, CEO of Sagicor Real Estate X Fund Limited. “That said, we’ve tailored all touchpoints throughout our all-inclusive journey to provide elevated relaxation infused with local charm.”
