Playa Hotels and Resorts has purchased the five-diamond Ritz-Carlton Rose Hall resort in Montego Bay, a 5,000 acre ocean-front luxury resort owned by the Rollins family with Urban Development Corporation as minority partner. The 427-room resort has been on the sale block for the last nine years. Sources say the resort was sold for more than US$70 million. The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company has operated the property for the last 12 years. Under the purchase agreement, US-based but Spanish-influenced Playa will rename the resort. In the past, this has been a bone of contention since it means the disappearance of the high-profile Ritz-Carlton brand from Jamaica.
