S Hotel in Montego Bay, St James, has been named the highest-ranked Caribbean hotel in the 2026 Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards.
In the categories of Atlantic, Caribbean and Central America, the hotel was placed second overall.
This was behind a property in Costa Rica.
Tourism Minister, Edmund Bartlett, described the achievement as a strong endorsement of Jamaica’s tourism product and the quality and resilience of the country’s hospitality workers.
He says this recognition holds profound significance following the passage of Hurricane Melissa and the extensive impact on western Jamaica.
This now adds to several other international awards received by the hotel, including being named Best All-Inclusive Caribbean Resort in the USA Today 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards.
In 2025, S Hotel was ranked number one all-inclusive in Jamaica, number two in the Caribbean and number 11 worldwide in Tripadvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best Awards.
Additionally, it placed fifth among hotels in the Caribbean and Central America in Condé Nast Traveler’s 2025 Readers’ Choice Awards and was named Jamaica’s Leading Hotel for a fourth consecutive year at the World Travel Awards.
