    That Hotel I remember quite well when I lived in Jamaica. At the time is was operated by an Enlishman known as: Hugh Maitland Walker. He was also the Managing Director of company called Tourwise Limited, a tour company which did ground handling and, transportation. I had the privilege of working for him. Sadly, he had passed away after my emigration from Jamaica on the 27th of October 2006 and, he was buried at a church in Sumerset England. He had two children I remember also with his wife Monika Maitland Walker. Pity the Hotel ended up like that. Thanks for the update Nick.

    So sad to hear. That was where we had our honeymoon 2007! We returned a few years later and noticed the downturn. For an all-inclusive hotel, we had a very small food choice. We were taken to a riverside property that they also owned, nearby in Ocho Rios. I have fond memories of the staff especially the elderly lady who cleaned our room, Ms Hazel. I will have to go look at the pictures again, with my husband 😢
