Seawind Beach Resort

Montego Towers.

Plans for the $7 million 480-room (960 beds) Montego Towers on 4.5 acres were discussed in 1968. It was to be the first hotel on Montego Freeport, the new 500-acre deepwater pier and resort development being carried out on the Bogue Islands in the Montego Bay Harbour. It was the first hotel to take advantage of the new Condominium Law which permitted individual ownership of units in a multiple-unit housing project, allowing them to offer the units to overseas purchasers. Though plans were to primarily sell the units to Jamaicans.
The port, named Montego Bay Harbour, opened in July 1969. The island could now be reached by a land connection.
In the Fall 1969, before construction of the hotel was finished, furnished efficiency apartments were going for £7,040. In addition to a one mile beach, there was to be an oversized swimming pool. All units sold out.
The first tower was completed in the Summer of 1971, and the second tower in the Fall of 1971. At that time the hotel started using Heritage Beach Hotel to market to transients.
In 1974 the hotel was called Seawind, Montego Freeport.
By 1977 the hotel was called the Seawind Beach Resort.
In 1979 the lease was assigned to Seawind Towers Ltd.
An adjacent 120-room Beach Inn was built next door. [Year?] It did not have the financial difficulties of the Towers. Then by 2013 it was The Oasis at Sunset. From August 2015 to June 2020 it was the Sunscape Cove Montego Bay. Then back to The Oasis at Sunset.
By 1995 the Towers was losing money.
Ciboney Group began managing the hotel in March 1996 and sometimes called the hotel the Radisson Sunset Island.
In early 1997 the Seawind Towers and Seawind Apartments were closed due to slow tourism. In August 1997 the towers closed again.
In May 1998 the hotel reopened after a $10 million renovation, under new management and a new name, the Sunset Beach Resort & Spa.
In April 2005 the Pirate's Paradise Water Park was opened.
In 2008, US$7 million was spent on renovations focusing on the restaurants, lounges, public areas and landscaping.
From August 2015 to June 2020 the towers was called the Sunscape Splash Montego Bay.
It is now the Sunset Beach Resort, Spa & Waterpark.
