The workers at the hotel were also described as \u201cgorgeous staff who are not just friendly but also fascinating, telling stories about the island&#8217;s sporting history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the ministry noted that British newspaper the Daily Telegraph also listed Jakes Hotel as one of the five best boutique bolt-holes in the Caribbean. The newspaper described the hotel as an \u201coffbeat hideaway\u201d that has a \u201clovely, raffish charm and a cool vibe on Treasure Beach\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Bartlett extended congratulations to Jakes Hotel&#8217;s Chairman, Jason Henzell on the accolades, which he says will help to promote Jamaica as the destination of choice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would like to congratulate Jason and his hardworking team at Jakes on receiving these important accolades. Like many other hoteliers and tourism partners, I know that his team has faced significant challenges because of the pandemic. It is therefore heartening to see that since re-opening last June, the world&#8217;s focus is on Treasure Beach and by extension Jamaica,\u201d Bartlett said.<\/p>\n<p>The minister added that, \u201cJamaica is still the ideal destination for much-needed relaxation, thanks to the wonderful work being done by our tourism stakeholders, including Jason and his team at Jakes, who are ensuring a memorable experience, which is safe, seamless and secure for all locals and visitors alike.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-reco-reel\" class=\" trc_related_container trc_spotlight_widget trc_elastic trc_elastic_rec-reel-2n5-a \" data-placement-name=\"Mid Article Reco Reel\">\n<div class=\"trc_rbox_container story-widget tbl-story-desktop \">\n<div>\n<div id=\"trc_wrapper_1806\" class=\"trc_rbox rec-reel-2n5-a trc-content-organic \">\n<div id=\"trc_header_1806\" class=\"trc_rbox_header trc_rbox_border_elm\">\n<div class=\"trc_header_ext\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>KINGSTON, Jamaica \u2014 Tourism Minister, Edmund Bartlett has extended heartfelt congratulations to the management and staff of Jakes Hotel in Treasure Beach, St Elizabeth after the property was listed among the top family vacation spots <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/visitcommunities.com\/jamaica\/tourism-minister-edmund-bartlett-extended-congratulations-to-the-management-and-staff-of-jakes-hotel\/\" title=\"Tourism Minister, Edmund Bartlett extended congratulations to the management and staff of Jakes Hotel\">&#8230;.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":756,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/visitcommunities.com\/jamaica\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Jakes_Hotel_Pool.jpg?fit=888%2C583&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitcommunities.com\/jamaica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/755"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitcommunities.com\/jamaica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitcommunities.com\/jamaica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visitcommunities.com\/jamaica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visitcommunities.com\/jamaica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=755"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/visitcommunities.com\/jamaica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/755\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":757,"href":"https:\/\/visitcommunities.com\/jamaica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/755\/revisions\/757"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visitcommunities.com\/jamaica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/756"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitcommunities.com\/jamaica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=755"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visitcommunities.com\/jamaica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=755"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visitcommunities.com\/jamaica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=755"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
