Jamaica update straight from my co-worker Karen! One Love 🇯🇲💛💚🖤

I’ll be honest—before returning to Jamaica this week, I felt hesitant. I didn’t know what to expect, and I never want to recommend a destination to my clients without experiencing it myself.
Thanks to an incredible partnership with Sandals and Beaches Resorts, I had the privilege of spending the last five days on the island—seeing everything firsthand so I could truly understand what Jamaica will be like for you.
And let me say this clearly: don’t rely solely on the bad news being shared in the media. Jamaica is a large island—about 146 miles wide and 51 miles long—and the path of Hurricane Melissa was about 10 miles wide, running from Whitehouse on the south coast, up and over the mountains, and towards Montego Bay on the north coast. In reality, the vast majority of the island was untouched by the major damage that has been highlighted in headlines.
From the moment I stepped into the airport, everything shifted. I could see the progress, the effort, and the pride poured into restoring and improving the island. My worries began to fade. As we drove toward the resorts, those doubts kept melting away. And once we arrived—greeted with world-class hospitality, warm smiles, and that unmistakable Jamaican spirit—any lingering hesitation disappeared completely.
Yes, some resorts are still in the process of enhancing and rebuilding, but many are fully ready. And more importantly, the people are ready. Their warmth, resilience, and genuine hospitality are stronger than ever. They’re excited to deliver the exceptional experiences my clients expect and deserve.
Jamaica is resilient. Jamaica is rebuilding. And Jamaica is absolutely ready to welcome us back.
You can travel here with confidence.
And I can confidently say: I’ll be back again very soon.
Tourism is extremely vital to this beautiful island, and supporting them truly matters.
One island. One spirit. One love. 🇯🇲💚💛🖤
