Bahia Principe announces reopening & renovation plans for two Jamaica resorts

Following property closures brought on by Hurricane Melissa, a Category 5 storm that sliced through Jamaica last October, Bahia Principe Hotels has announced its reopening and renovation plans for two of its Jamaican properties.

Bahia Principe Luxury Runaway will open on April 1, 2026. During the hotel’s closure, several renovations have taken place, according to a press release.

This includes an extension of the lobby terrace, as well as improvements and redecoration of the lobby bar and completely refurbished restaurants: the Main Buffet (Jazmín), Picasso Restaurant (Mediterranean) and Thali Restaurant (Indian).

Bahia Principe Grand Jamaica is also undergoing a comprehensive refurbishment and will reopen its doors on Dec. 1, 2026, offering updated facilities and enhanced experience for guests.

“We will provide further details about this renovation in due course,” wrote the hotelier.
