All-inclusive resorts are perfect for both all-ages vacations and romantic getaways
Beautiful Montego Bay, Jamaica, is the perfect winter escape. And whether you’re taking the kids along or opt to leave them at home, Hyatt has incredible all-inclusive resorts that will keep everyone happy. Here are some of the draws for couples and families alike at each of the resorts.
The minute you land, you’ll be treated like royalty when you pop into the newly renovated private airport lounge at Sangster International Airport. Plus, it’s only 15 minutes from Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall.
Once you check in, you’ll find spacious, stylish suites that offer up all the luxuries, right down to the fully stocked mini-bar. Take in views from your private balcony overlooking either the lush gardens or stunning ocean. Enjoy the rainfall shower and spa tub, around-the-clock room service with both chef specialties and authentic Jamaican fare, and the Hyatt signature plush beds—king size available, of course.
When you’re not in your room, spend the day at a beach cabana, by the infinity lagoon-style pools, paddle boarding, playing the close-by championship golf courses—you name it! For the fitness-minded, there’s the newly renovated, state-of-the-art, 24-hour fitness centre, as well as classes in aqua aerobics, spinning and beachfront yoga. At night, go bar- and restaurant-hopping, catch a nightly live performance or simply relax by an oceanside firepit. Guests of the adults-only Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall also have access to all the amenities at the all-ages Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall.
On the historic grounds, you’ll find an oasis within an oasis at the newly renovated oceanfront Zen Spa. Book a cabana massage, a body scrub or wrap made with coffee from Blue Mountain, water lilies and ortanique. Couples massages are available, and a new plunge pool is tucked away on the beach for ultimate privacy.
The challenge with a family trip is pleasing everyone in your group. Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall makes it easy with its sprawling pools, attentive service and even hands-on chocolate classes where you can make a sweet souvenir. The key is variety, and you’ll find it here in everything from on-site activities to an expansive selection of cuisines.
There are seven restaurants, both buffet and à la carte, that will appease even the pickiest of eaters. Options range from fresh seafood, Brazilian and Asian fusion to Jamaican at a traditional jerk shack known for some of the best jerk chicken in Jamaica.
Thanks to the resort’s KidZ Club, the younger set will stay busy stamping their own custom passports at activities such as painting, beach games, pajama parties and more. (Professional supervision is offered every day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.) There’s also foosball, air hockey, water basketball and video games for the teens. All this provides ample opportunity for parents to sneak away for a spa treatment, a fine-dining experience or a couple of cocktails at the swim-up bar.
Whichever resort you choose, save up to 55% on your booking, plus an additional 5% for CAA Members.
