Minutes from Dunn’s River Falls, The Jewel is the perfect romantic getaway for couples, honeymooners and weddings. Overlooking the Caribbean Sea, the resort is all-inclusive, which incorporates all meals, premium liquor, pool concierge and water sports, and features six restaurants, five bars, two swimming pools, tennis courts, an executive golf course, a sport court, beach cabanas, updated fitness center and a gift shop. Relax at The Jewel’s full-service European Radiant Spa with eight treatment rooms, a whirlpool, sauna and a menu of services from facial to full-body, or treat yourself to a manicure at Polish, the hotel’s nail, hair and makeup salon. Carol Bourke, the hotel's general manager, brings with her extensive hotel management experience in Jamaica and aims to maintain the excellent quality of service that the hotel has been noted for throughout the past twenty years. “I am very excited to be named the hotel’s general manager and plan to create an ambiance for couples at The Jewel that cannot be matched at other properties in Jamaica,” said Bourke. “The exclusive features and services we’ve added at The Jewel are sure to exceed our guests’ expectations.” There are three buildings, each with mountain and ocean-view rooms, with suites available. The Diamond Building features luxurious rooms with whirlpool tubs and balconies overlooking the lush mountain or onto the Caribbean and Dunn’s River Pool. When staying in the Diamond Building, guests can add Diamond Butler Service, which takes care of all arrangements, packing/unpacking, reservations and beach bungalows, and Diamond Concierge Service, which gives access to the desk concierge to handle needs including shopping trips, excursions and dining reservations. Honeymoon suites are also available in the Diamond Building, which offer additional space, and larger balconies overlooking the water. The Sapphire Building features rooms with balconies looking back to the mountain or onto the Caribbean and the pools. The Emerald Lanai are mirror image two-story buildings with rooms opening to the garden or the ocean, and these rooms are the fastest way to get to the beach. The Jewel will also offer a pool concierge to pamper and surprise the guests throughout the day with skewers of fresh fruit, misting of cool, eucalyptus-infused water, ice-cold face towels and many more surprises. The pool concierges will greet the guests on lounge chairs around the pools and even swim right up to guests on floats with the same refreshing service. Other special features include romantic dive-in movies shown by the pool, candlelit dining on the pier, hand-made rum punches daily called “the gem of the day” and Jamaican-flavored rock candy as a nighttime turndown gift to remind guests of The Jewel. “We are absolutely thrilled to manage such a noteworthy property, and we look forward to introducing everyone to Jamaica’s newest hotel, The Jewel Dunn’s River Beach Resort & Spa,” said Aimbridge Hospitality President and CEO Dave Johnson. “The Jewel will provide couples with everything they need for the ideal romantic vacation – fine dining, daily excursions, water sports and nightlife, all combined with exceptional service.” There will be six restaurants for guests to dine throughout their stay at The Jewel:
