MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica
-- The 420-room Ritz-Carlton Rose Hall is temporarily closed until
May 19 as a result of water damage incurred from torrential
downpours April 27.
The property, which was close to 100%
full at the time of the rainstorm, relocated guests to other
properties in Jamaica. Guests who cut short their vacations will be
rebooked at a later date.
The resort closed
April 29 after officials determined that the resorts operational
areas on the ground floor, including the laundry facilities, and
electrical and telephone lines were too damaged to immediately
reopen the resort.
We closed to
facilitate a proper cleanup and repair, a spokeswoman said. Its a
temporary setback.
Guests holding
reservations are being rebooked to other Ritz properties in Miami
and the Caribbean or have postponed their travels until the Rose
Hall property reopens.
For further
information, call (786) 470-3400.
