JULY 10, 2009 - Secrets Resorts & Spas, the luxury resort brand offering Unlimited-Luxury(R) vacations for adults-only, will officially open its first Jamaican properties early next year. In March 2010, Secrets St. James Montego Bay and Secrets Wild Orchid Montego Bay -- two new exclusive all-suites resorts - will be situated side by side on one of the most ideal beachfront locations in this popular tourist destination.

"With its illustrious natural beauty, premium tourism offerings and consistent appeal, Jamaica is a destination of choice for Secrets Resorts & Spas," said Alex Zozaya, president and CEO of AMResorts. "Despite a downturn in tourist arrivals in other Caribbean countries, Jamaica ended 2008 with a four percent growth in tourism over the previous year."

Guests of these two new Secrets Resorts & Spas will have the freedom to explore each property as they please, and enjoy eight gourmet 'a la carte dining options ranging from elegant to swim-up, seven chic bars and lounges, large free-form swimming pools and beachfront Jacuzzis, and world-class spas and Beach Club. A main plaza conveniently located between the two resorts also will present guests with a host of exciting activities and entertainment options including a game room, boutiques, cafes, movies and more.

Secrets St. James, set on one of the most pristine beach areas of the Bay, is located just 30-minutes from Montego Bay International Airport. The striking 350 all-suites resort honors Jamaica's history by featuring stunning British Colonial-style architecture and elegant d'ecor in warm tones with dark wood accents. Oversized four-poster beds, extra-large showers, Jacuzzi's for two, private balconies and Secrets' signature discrete room service, along with access to shimmering pools and breathtaking ocean views offer guests a serene and romantic retreat. For relaxation, the lavish spa offers beautifully-appointed indoor and outdoor facilities, the latest hydrotherapy treatments and a state-of-the-art fitness center.

Boasting a contemporary and chic design, Secrets Wild Orchid sits serenely on a half mile of private beach on the Montego Bay peninsula. This 350-all suites resort takes inspiration from the island surroundings with its warm neutral tones and unique indigenous art. Select suites at the property offer private, swim out access to the free-form pool surrounding the luxurious resort. Lush gardens and sparkling fountains surround the resort's 15,000 square foot Spa and set the stage for a variety of pampering treatments

Zozaya added that combined Secrets St. James and Secrets Wild Orchid offer a multitude of amenities and activities to afford guests a fantasy vacation experience unlike any other.

In addition to luxurious and spacious accommodations, members of Preferred Club-recognized properties will be invited to enjoy the benefits and offerings of each resort, its restaurants, lounges, spas, open-air theater and more. Within minutes, guests can also take pleasure in a plethora of scenic wonders such as Montego Bay's famous Dunn's River Falls; the coffee-growing Blue Mountain region; and five renowned championship golf courses including the White Witch, Half Moon, Tryall, Three Palms Ocean Course at Windham Rose Hall and Cinnamon Hill.

Secrets Resorts & Spas currently has three resorts in Mexico's Riviera Maya region and is slated to open an additional two properties in the Caribbean by the end of 2010. New resorts include Secrets La Romana and Pure Secrets Cap Cana in the Dominican Republic; Zozaya also confirmed that the brand will enter the Aruba market in 2011
