Days after Hurricane Melissa cut a devastating path through Jamaica on Oct. 28, Hyatt Inclusive Collection said its resorts on the island have temporarily suspended operations and won't accept new reservations through Jan. 31. 

In a statement the company said it is "conducting a detailed assessment to determine the extent of the physical damage to all properties." 

The Hyatt Inclusive Collection resorts are Breathless Montego Bay Resort & Spa; Dreams Rose Hall Resort & Spa; Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall; Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall; Secrets St. James Montego Bay; Secrets Wild Orchid Montego Bay; Jewel Grande Montego Bay Resort & Spa; and Zoetry Montego Bay Jamaica. 

The news came as Jamaica minister of tourism Edmund Bartlett set a Dec. 15 target date for Jamaica's tourism industry to be fully back in operation. 

Sandals Resorts International said it is conducting a comprehensive assessment of its resorts following the storm.
