Jamaica has a major new adults-only, all-inclusive resort at the Hideaway at Royalton Blue Waters, which held its grand opening earlier this week. 

The property, which is part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection portfolio, began welcoming guests in the past few weeks. It is the most significant new resort in Jamaica for parent Blue Diamond since the company opened its Royalton Negril resort back in 2017. 

The property has 352 rooms and suites including an enhanced Diamond Club premium wing, including a dedicated lounge, butler service and other amenities. The resort has a total of 10 different dining concepts with everything from an Italian trattoria to a jerk hut to a Tex-Mex eatery called Armadillo. 

That also features one of the brand’s popular culinary experiences: C/X, which for an added fee, includes a seven-course menu and cocktail pairing hosted by a personal chef. The other amenities include a naturally, a spa, along with the option for private cabanas and, even a private “islet” just offshore for more exclusive beach days. 

The all-inclusive programme has 24-7 room service and daily entertainment and activities. Guests at Hideaway also have access to the amenities, facilities and inclusions at the adjacent Royalton Blue Waters resort, a family-friendly property. 

Marriott is one of several high-profile hotel brands, including Hyatt and Hilton, that have jumped head-first into the all-inclusive space, focused on surging demand for all-inclusive vacations in the Caribbean.
