The trip also functions as a reunion for travel professionals eager to assist Jamaica in revitalizing its tourism industry during the peak winter travel season. With the recovery process underway in various regions, notably Ocho Rios and Negril, these destinations are poised to welcome visitors.
Recovery Journey from Montego Bay to Sandals Dunn’s River

The Upcoming Reopenings and Future Plans
While the excitement builds in anticipation of the December 6 reopening of Sandals Dunn’s River and its sister resorts, the remaining Sandals properties in Jamaica, including Sandals Montego Bay, Sandals Royal Caribbean, and Sandals South Coast, plan to resume operations on May 30, 2026. This extended closure allows for thorough renovations and restorations, ensuring an unforgettable experience for future guests.
