Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall

Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall is an adults-only, all-inclusive resort in Rose Hall, Montego Bay, built on the former site of The Ritz-Carlton. It shares the estate with Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall, its sister resort for all ages, which gives wedding guests more places to eat and drink.

Hyatt's opening announcement put the suite count at more than 220, with 30 of them swim-up suites. Because the plan is all-inclusive and the hotel is for adults only, a wedding here is easier to budget and calmer than at a family resort. Hyatt says its wedding venues have room for up to 1,000 guests, and Montego Bay itself is known for white sand beaches and lively nights out.

Every package on Hyatt's wedding page is a symbolic ceremony led by a bilingual secular officiant, with a symbolic certificate. It is not presented as a legal marriage, so plan the legal part at home first. Packages are sized by group. Intimate Elegance covers the couple plus up to 10 guests, Lavish and Opulent up to 20, and the seasonal Summer Love offer, from June to October, the couple and 28 guests. Several become complimentary when enough room nights are booked in qualifying suites. Ask the team which ceremony spots suit your numbers, how the reception runs and when the music stops.

Guests stay in suites on site, and the wedding offers depend on rooms booked, so gather your group's reservations early. Complimentary weddings need at least an Ocean View Junior Suite, must be agreed at the first booking at least six months ahead, and run Monday to Wednesday between 9am and 1pm. The opening announcement listed 14 restaurants and six bars, which keeps a long weekend varied for everyone. Sangster International Airport is about ten minutes away, and after customs the Hyatt Lounge team arranges transfers, with a shared shuttle as an option.
