Some rooms and suites feature private balconies or plunge pools overlooking tropical gardens or the freshwater pools. The resort plans to include many family features for guests by the end of 2012 in addition to the all-inclusive experience, which incorporates all meals and snacks at a variety of restaurants and bars. Several Jewel Resorts signature extras will also be included such as; swim-up pool concierges, evening Dive-In Movies (complete with Jamaica Jerk Popcorn), dining under the stars, Gem of the Day (the resort's signature cocktail concoctions), Gems entertainment staff, Bling!
