BEACHES SANDY BAY
After 12 years of successful partnership, Sandals Resorts International (SRI) has taken the option to terminate its lease with the owners of the Property now known as Beaches Sandy Bay Resort effective 30th September 2012.
As part of our Luxury Included® concept and strategy, we continually strive to improve our products for our guests. The past few months have seen exciting enhancements and large scale renovation projects undertaken at several of our resorts across the Caribbean, all part of an investment plan to expand and enhance the company’s offerings over the coming decade. However, despite the successes of Beaches Sandy Bay, the resort no longer fits the long term strategy and vision of our organization and we will look to pursue other exciting opportunities elsewhere.
As part of our unwavering commitment to both our guests and the property's workforce, SRI has reached mutual agreement with the owners of the hotel to maintain full operations through to 31st August 2012 in order to accommodate existing bookings. Guests scheduled to stay at Beaches Sandy Bay after 31st August will have the option to change their booking to any like accommodation at another Beaches Resort in Jamaica without penalty or change fees.
In the traditional spirit of Sandals and Beaches resorts, members of the existing workforce will be relocated to sister properties based on availability. In the event that suitable positions are not available we will abide by all legal requirements as we ensure the most amicable separation is affected.
We are reliably informed by the owners of the property, Poincianna Resorts Limited that it is their intention to resume the day to day running of the hotel immediately upon our departure.
We wish to especially thank Dr. Garfield Munroe, Principal of Poincianna Resorts Limited, his family and management team for their unwavering support of Sandals Resorts International, particularly for the strength of the friendship and professional relationship during what must be counted as 12 fantastic years of working with them. We wish them all the best in their future endeavours.
