One of the resorts at the Baha Mar mega resort in The Bahamas is planning to reopen, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

The Grand Hyatt Baha Mar is planning to reopen on Dec. 17, according to the property’s Web site. 

The property is now accepting reservations for stays beginning on that date.

That would reconcile with recent news that Hyatt had added the property to its “Work from Hyatt” extended-stay program. 

The Bahamas just entered a new phase of its tourism reopening at the beginning of the month, paving the way for major hotels and resorts to reopen. 

Reopening dates for the Baha Mar’s other resorts, Rosewood Baha Mar and SLS Baha Mar, have not yet been revealed.

The most exciting new hotel to launch in Jamaica in years is open and welcoming guests, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

Eclipse at Half Moon, the major new luxury resort set at the island’s iconic Half Moon resort, has relaunched.

The property had just opened prior to the onset of the pandemic, and on Nov. 1 began welcoming guests once again. 

“Half Moon is a preferred destination for discerning travelers, who seek the luxury of space and privacy,” Guy Steuart, Chairman of Half Moon, told Caribbean Journal. “Along with our meticulous health and safety protocols, thoughtfully designed accommodations, and luxury amenities, our team is looking forward to providing their award-winning service that will ensure our guests have either found or rediscovered their perfect getaway.”

The luxury resort has a total of 57 rooms, along with a centerpiece infinity pool; seven bars and restaurants and a natural swimming cove, among other amenities. 

Guests have access to all of the amenities on the Half Moon campus. 

Half Moon had reopened its Rose Hall Villas resort in early June; those remain open, as does the property’s signature Robert Trent Jones-designed golf course, often dubbed the “Caribbean Augusta.”

Half Moon’s Founders Cove resort, along with its signature Sugar Mill restaurant, will be reopening Dec. 15, a spokesperson for the property said. 

Jamaica has been open for tourism since mid-June. You can find more on the island’s travel protocols here.

After being shuttered for months, regional Caribbean carrier LIAT has returned to flying. 

The carrier operated its first daily flight from Antigua to Dominica on Nov. 1. 

The airline will be operating a limited schedule this month after suspending services in April 2020 due to the impact of the pandemic. 

The airline is currently under administration. 

In a statement, LIAT said it was being “restructured to improve its viability and sustainability following a decision by the government of Antigua and Barbuda to reorganize the airline.”

LIAT said it was currently completing training and regulatory requirements for the territories it will be flying to. 

Those destinations will likely be announced later this week.
