When the award comes in the area of the Jamaican hospitality industry that in so many ways is the backbone of our economy, though, the feeling of pride that comes with the accomplishment is even greater. We are thrilled to have once again been named the #1 hotel for meetings and conventions in Jamaica, and look forward to further elevating our product to keep Jamaica at the forefront of M.I.C.E. travel to the Caribbean."
