The Iberostar Rose Hall Beach Hotel is also the first Iberostar hotel to feature an All-Ocean-View configuration, allowing guests to enjoy a sea view from virtually any point in the hotel. 

The luxury hotel, which is located directly on the beach, and just 20 km from Montego Bay Airport, has a colonial-style design and all 366 rooms have either a balcony or a terrace.

The hotel features 24 hour all inclusive service with all meals and drinks included in the hotel’s bars and restaurants - even soft drinks, beer, bottled water & mineral water from the mini-bar are complimentary.

The hotel is open year round and there are plenty of activities on offer from tennis and water polo to tropical dance and Spanish lessons. Guests will also have the opportunity to try a variety of motorised watersports, sailing, snorkelling, kayaking and windsurfing.  For those interested in scuba diving there is a CDC PADI Gold Palm Resort Dive Center on site.

 

Heike Genshow, Marketing Director for Iberostar Hotels & Resorts comments: “We are delighted to have reached our goal of opening 100 hotels by 2007, and to have ventured into three new destinations this year.  At Iberostar, we are committed to continually improving as a global brand, not only by opening new hotels in new destinations but also by refurbishing existing ones in order to maintain our high standards.  We have already invested €32 million in the refurbishment of its existing properties this year and aim to continue upgrading our hotels and seeking out new destinations as we move on into 2008.”

 

Iberostar has already opened nine new hotels in 2007 in Sardinia, Tunisia, Rhodes, Bulgaria, Turkey, Cuba, Mexico and Brazil, and will open its tenth in Bulgaria later this year.  Jamaica, Sardinia and Rhodes are all new destinations for Iberostar.
