With a diverse portfolio that encompasses 60-plus properties and 18,000 rooms, Blue Diamond Resorts has become the fastest-growing resort group in the Caribbean since it stepped onto the scene in 2011. With eight different brands operating under its umbrella, Blue Diamond has something to suit travelers of all ages, ranging from singles or couples to friend groups and families.

Now, the innovative hotel management company has just announced some new developments that will serve to enhance its existing offerings and broaden its footprint with the upcoming debuts of two brand-new resorts.

Jamaica

The new, adults-only Hideaway at Royalton Blue Waters, an Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort, will make its debut in beautiful Montego Bay, Jamaica in late November 2023. Adult vacationers will revel in the luxuries of this private oasis created exclusively for adult friends, family members, or couples seeking to relax and reconnect. 

It will boast 352 stylish and well-appointed rooms and suites, 11 fine-dining options, sparkling infinity pool and tailored experiences like exclusive couples’ treatments performed side-by-side at The Royal Spa. In addition to the onsite offerings, guests staying at Hideaway at Royalton Blue Waters also benefit by the resort’s “Stay at 1, Play at 2” program, which entitles them to access sister resort Royalton Blue Waters, which is located just steps away.

Antigua 

A brand-new portfolio addition, Royalton CHIC Antigua is set to start welcoming guests to this tropical leeward island, located at the point where the Caribbean Sea meets the vast Atlantic Ocean, in early April 2024. Offering a vibrant and social experience, this exceptional all-inclusive, adults-only resort, situated on Dickenson Bay on Antigua’s northwest coast is destined to attract spirited grown-up travelers, from singles and couples to groups.

The beachfront Royalton CHIC Antigua will feature 235 stylish rooms and suites, each of which comes with a private balcony or terrace offering stunning ocean and sunset views. Interiors will feature modern aesthetics and décor similar to those seen at its sister Royalton CHIC Resorts in Punta Cana and Cancun. Luxurious details will include Royalton’s signature DreamBed, rain shower and All-In Connectivity amenities. Guests will enjoy 24/7 room service, with a menu of items curated from among onsite dining outlets, so that guests have the option of dining in after their active, energetic days.

Across the Portfolio

From October 1, Blue Diamond Resorts will introduce new upgrades to its distinguished Diamond Club and Star Class room categories across the board, one highlight of which will be the expansion of the company’s beloved Butler Services. The hotel group will be increasing the number of Butlers per resort to ensure an even a higher level of personalized service is provided for its guests.

The company also plans on expanding and enhancing the dining options available at its properties, adding dedicated breakfast restaurants and upgrading the room service experience with the new addition of wine and beer options. Blue Diamond Resorts is also widening the available selection of premium top-tier drinks and liquors available at all Diamond Club and Star Class bars, as well as designated lounges.

Blue Diamond Resorts’ luxurious lodgings are sprinkled throughout areas of Mexico, Antigua, Costa Rica, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Grenada, Jamaica and Saint Lucia. Brands include Royalton Luxury Resorts, Royalton CHIC Resorts, Hideaway at Royalton, Mystique Royalton, Memories Resorts, Starfish Resorts, and, perhaps the most recognizable, Planet Hollywood Hotels & Resorts.
