Sandals plans to pour $200 million into the transformation of three Jamaica resorts that have been closed since Hurricane Melissa damaged them last fall.
The Sandals Montego Bay, Sandals Royal Caribbean and Sandals South Coast, which the company had previously aimed to reopen on May 30, will instead undergo what Sandals is calling a "Sandals 2.0" reimagination.
Under the new timeline, the Sandals South Coast is now slated to reopen on Nov. 18, while the Sandals Royal Caribbean and Sandals Montego Bay will reopen on Dec. 18.
Sandals plans new arrival experiences, additional accommodation categories, redesigned pools, refreshed social spaces and expanded dining and bar concepts at each resort.
Sandals also said it intends to preserve "the sense of place" at all three resorts.
"With our doors closed, we were given something we almost never have in hospitality, a true blank canvas," said Sandals Resorts International executive chairman Adam Stewart. "We shouldn't simply restore what was there. We should dream bigger."
Five of the company's eight Jamaica resorts -- Sandals Royal Plantation, Sandals Ochi, Sandals Dunn's River, Sandals Negril and Beaches Negril -- reopened in December.
