Sandals' Whitehouse Reopens on Jamaica's South Shore

Sandals Whitehouse European Village & Spa reopened following four months of upgrades and renovations to the Luxury Included resort, on pace with original estimates set in August by Gordon “Butch” Stewart, chairman and founder of Sandals Resorts.

The renovations to the resort further enhance the Luxury Included experience. Following the project, changes to the resort property included upgrades to soft goods and furnishings throughout the property and renovations to all resort restaurants, the main lobby area and treatment rooms at the resort’s exclusive Red Lane Spa.

The top two categories of suites -- the One-Bedroom Penthouse Honeymoon Beachfront Suite and the One-Bedroom Walkout Honeymoon Beachfront Suite -- were completely refurbished, adding updated furniture, upgraded soft goods and new plasma TVs, offering an enhanced setting for resort guests.

In addition, debuting with the reopening, guests of Sandals Whitehouse will be the first to experience Neptune’s, a new Mediterranean-themed dining concept. Created by Sandals Resorts International, Neptune’s offers Mediterranean cuisine with such dishes as a traditional meze of marinated olives, feta lamb kebabs and tzatkiki to saffron-infused bouillibasse.

Neptune’s will be located in the former Arizona Restaurant and there are plans to expand the concept to other Sandals Resorts in the New Year.

Recently named one of the top hotels in the Caribbean by Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards, Sandals Whitehouse is set within a 500-acre nature reserve on Jamaica’s undiscovered south coast. The resort features three seaside villages -- French, Italian and Dutch with piazzas and Mediterranean cuisine as well as pastry shops and European-inspired architecture. The 50-acre resort has 360 rooms and suites in nine categories all of which have beachfront views; eight restaurants and six bars; the largest freshwater pool in Jamaica; and a European-style square complete with duty-free shops, formal gardens, a piazza and cafes.

As with all Sandals Resorts Luxury Included vacations, a trip to Sandals Whitehouse includes butler service in select room categories; gourmet dining; unlimited premium brand wine and spirits; championship golf; and a wide array of watersports, including snorkeling and scuba diving. Guest of Sandals Whitehouse can also take advantage of savings of up to 65 percent off rack rates through select dates in 2010 when they book a minimum three-night stay by Jan. 7.
