The first-ever Princess Hotels properties on the island, which is scheduled to open this November, will be equipped with swim-up rooms and overwater villas.

In addition, the dual-resort complex, located in Green Island, Hanover on the northwestern coast of the island on the road to Negril will also be equipped with a water park and private butlers. 

The resorts are The Princess Senses: The Mangrove, an all-inclusive, adults-only resort and The Princess Grand Jamaica, a family-friendly hotel. The Princess Senses: The Mangrove will have a mix of overwater villas (with their own private pools), ocean-view suites and swim-up rooms.

Amenities will include 14 restaurants, 15 bars and lounges and a destination spa. In all, there are 401 rooms (all of which are suites) and 14 different overwater villas, a relatively new trend in Jamaica that began with the debut of Sandals’ first overwater suites back in 2016.

The Princess Grand Jamaica will have a water park, a kids club, nanny service, thematic entertainment zone with virtual reality and activities like water sports and tennis. As for dining concepts, the hotel will have a range from Mexican to Asian to local Jamaican with nine eateries joined by eight bars. 

The Princess Grand is bigger than The Princess Senses: The Mangrove with 590 suites in total, including a “platinum” level with extra amenities and private butlers. At present, the family-friendly Princess Grand Jamaica has rates starting as low as $469 per night, according to Princess.com. 

While the Spanish-based brand is the first in Jamaica, it is no stranger to the Caribbean, it has seven resorts in the wider region with four in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic and another three in the Mexican Caribbean.
