Venue & Accommodation

The venue selected for the 2010 conference, the Sunset Jamaica Grande Resort, in addition to providing excellent conference facilities, also boasts ample vacation and recreation opportunities. A legendary resort - a landmark renovation. The new, all-inclusive 730-room Sunset Jamaica Grande celebrates its multimillion dollar rebuild and refurbishment. A beautiful white-sand beach, the longest in Ocho Rios, fringes the resort.

Five lavish pools wander through this beachside complex, featuring waterfalls, plunge pools, swim-up bars and a swaying rope bridge. Known for its wide range of “fun in the sun” daytime activities, guests can also enjoy an abundance of fun after the sun goes down.

Visit the Sunset Jamaica Grande Resort and discover why Frommer’s proclaimed this dramatic family favorite was “like a Hollywood production”.
