Ensuring Jamaica is a Jewel

Social Responsibility, staff engagement and motivation remain an integral part of the Playa organizational culture and this goes down to each of our properties who foster good relations with our neighbors whilst building a motivated, caring and passionate work force. For the month of July, Jewel Paradise Cove organized a clothing drive where associates collected t clothing items and personal effects to be donated to the St. Ann’s Bay Infirmary, which provides food, shelter, clothing, medical, dental psychiatric, social and spiritual care for the destitute and poor of the parish. These events take place multiple times a year in order to give back to those less fortunate.

Also in the month of July, associates from Hilton Rose Hall Resort and Spa and Jewel Grande visited the Falmouth Infirmary and donated items such as perishable and nonperishable food items, sheets, towels, cleaning products and toiletries. The items were received by a senior representative from the Trelawny Parish Council and the matron in charge of the institution.

The adopt-a-school program associated with Hyatt Ziva & Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall celebrated double success in the month of July. Not only was their soccer team crowned as overall champions in the Montego Bay Area but also ten of their students achieved over 90% average on the government high school transition exams (GSAT). The high achievers along with their soccer team and coaches visited our property for a luncheon celebrating their success. As we continue to open doors for our children, we leave a piece of us – serving from the heart to those who we support and call family.
