Abe Issa, Deputy Chairman of Couples Resorts, has announced that all four of the company's Jamaican properties will reopen. This reopening follows Hurricane Melissa, which impacted western Jamaica three weeks prior. Issa reported that the resorts, particularly the two located in Negril, sustained only minor damage, including fallen trees and some roof issues. He credited resort teams with a significant cleanup effort.
The company's charitable arm, the Issa Trust Foundation, established a disaster relief fund that has raised approximately 500,000 dollars. These funds will provide construction materials for displaced employees. The foundation, in collaboration with World Central Kitchen, is also distributing care packages and meals in heavily affected communities such as Westmoreland and Black River.
Issa expressed gratitude for the concern shown by repeat guests, who have offered to assist with recovery. He assured potential visitors that the resort experience would remain unchanged, emphasizing Jamaica's beautiful beaches and the warm hospitality of its staff.
