Hurricane Melissa swept across the Caribbean as a catastrophic Category 5 storm last week, leaving a path of destruction in its wake. Since then, many hotels across Jamaica have closed — but they are already working hard to rebuild and reopen.
Properties from major brands like Hyatt are conducting damage assessments and have paused reservations, while Hilton-affiliated hotels remain operational, the hotels told TPG. All-inclusive options from Sandals Resorts International have also closed but put a staggered opening schedule in place, depending on the location and the amount of damage sustained.
Hotels are also working to support those around them, taking care of guests and raising money for affected communities.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
