: Minister of Tourism, Hon. Edmund Bartlett has lauded the achievement of S Hotel Montego Bay on being named the Best All-inclusive Caribbean Resort for 2026 by USA Today Readers’ Choice 10 Best Awards. Minister Bartlett has also commended Sunset at the Palms Resort, Negril on securing fourth place in the same USA Today ranking.

Minister Bartlett said “this is a tremendous accomplishment and welcome news as the tourism sector recovers following the passage of hurricane Melissa. To be able to remain top of mind among travellers and secure such prestigious accolades is proof of the resilience of our local properties, including S Hotel Montego Bay and Sunset at the Palms, and their continued commitment to always providing excellent service regardless of the circumstances.”  

His comments came yesterday (January 7) as he gave the keynote address at the launch of recording artiste Suga’s remake of Bobby Bloom’s global hit song, “Montego Bay” and the celebration of S Hotel Montego Bay’s seventh anniversary. The occasion was marked by the announcement of S Hotel Montego Bay securing the coveted award.

In response owner Chris Issa said “we didn’t know how well we were going to do but we were really hopeful. Especially with the after effects of Melissa, we felt that if we won this award it would be a good boost for Jamaica, for our tourism industry, and we’re so happy that we did.” Congratulating the hotel’s’ team for making it possible, Mr. Issa also pointed out that this was the hotel’s third international tourism award in just three months.
