Lester Scott Appointed GM for the Palmyra Resort & Spa, Rose Hall, Jamaica
Thursday, July 24, 2008
Luxury hotel industry veteran Lester Scott has been appointed to the position of General Manager of Solís The Palmyra Resort & Spa. In his role as General Manager, Mr. Scott will have direct oversight and management of all aspects of Jamaica's newest luxury resort.
Launched by legendary hotelier and former president of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, Horst Schulze, Solís Resorts & Hotels is a new luxury hotel brand that includes a collection of resorts, hotels and residences offering a convergence of unparalleled designs, settings and experiences.
Celebration Jamaica
Buy today...and it becomes a part of something special tomorrow!
When you buy into The Palmyra Resort & Spa, you are buying into the beginning of something special. As an owner, you already know why you have purchased. You have bought a piece of the rock, a home away from home. Little did you know that this was just the beginning.
Situated on approximately one kilometer of beach front property in Rose Hall, Montego Bay, the US$1.8B "Celebration Jamaica" resort development will be the largest private investment ever made in Jamaica. Brought to life by the developers of the luxurious Palmyra Resort & Spa, the island's first casino hotel will form the cornerstone of a multilayered Resort & Casino development that will celebrate Jamaica through an array of premier attractions rivaling the world's best.
Located on the oceanfront directly across the street from three championship golf courses and less than a 15 minute drive from the Montego Bay Sangster International Airport, the location of the proposed mega development "Celebration Jamaica" is hard to rival. Anticipated to become a significant competitor to the world's most popular destination resorts, a total of 2,000 rooms are planned throughout the development in the form of a casino hotel and several luxury real estate components.
Said Robert T. Trotta, developer of The Palmyra Resort & Spa; "Celebration Jamaica will prove to be a ‘tipping point' for unprecedented growth in both tourism and property values in Jamaica. The next decade will come to be known in Jamaican history as the moment in time when Jamaica established itself as ‘The Tourist and Financial Capital of the Caribbean'."
