AZUL SET FOR JAMAICA DEBUT

Karisma Hotels & Resorts will open the Azul Sensatori Jamaica on Dec. 21, marking the entry of the hotel brand to Jamaica. Azul Sensatori Jamaica will be Azul Hotels & Villas’ first property outside of Mexico and its sixth property overall, following the openings of Azul Villa Esmeralda in 2012, and Azul Fives Hotel in 2010. Located on Negril’s Seven Mile Beach, the resort will debut with 140 ocean-view rooms, six gourmet dining restaurants, bars and lounges, Vassa Spa and Azulitos Play House. In winter 2014, a second phase will increase hotel accommodations to 300 rooms.

“We are thrilled to open our first Azul property outside of Mexico and expand our premiere collection of Gourmet Inclusive properties to Jamaica,” said Mandy Chomat, vice-president of sales and marketing at Premier Worldwide Marketing, the exclusive representative of Karisma Hotels & Resorts. “Azul Sensatori Jamaica will offer a unique new vacation experience for visitors to Negril. Its spectacular beachfront setting, swim-up suites, chic design, gourmet dining and exceptional services — unparalleled in Jamaica — are ideally suited to exceed the expectations of today’s global travellers.”

Azul Sensatori Jamaica is designed to allow couples, families and friends to reconnect and spend quality time together in the beautiful location of Negril’s Seven Mile Beach. The one- and two-bedroom guest accommodations will include beachfront or ocean-view categories — each of which are available as swim-up suites with outdoor beds for lounging. A multi-generational section will feature Family Suites with either two double beds or one king-size bed accommodating up to two adults and three children. For larger groups, two-storey Family Loft Suites will feature a murphy bed, sleeping an additional two children, as well as a king bed and two double beds. Couples will be able to experience two Adults-Only sections featuring king size beds and including the option of romantic Honeymoon Suites.

With its opening, Azul Sensatori Jamaica will offer an elevated Gourmet Inclusive vacation experience. The signature plan includes accommodations as selected, a la carte gourmet meals at all of Azul Sensatori Jamaica’s restaurants, premium alcoholic beverages and non-alcoholic beverages, 24-hour room service and full service concierge. Rates will begin at $293 p.p., per night, including the Gourmet Inclusive experience based on double occupancy. (http://www.karismahotels.com)
