Remember delivering delayed Tourist bags in that area in the 70s, was a good proud time of My beautiful Jamaica. I stayed a weekend at the Runaway bay hotel prize won from the Bauxite family day picnic it was in the 70s.

Bro I used to work there as a musician ...very sad.

ABNB bad management cost to income ratio, not to mention pilfering both internal/external labor salary...in other words it's not easy to own or manage any business that'sy the CRIMINAL behaviors have to be curtailed .

[@nickwilltravel]

@gervanmyers3066 that was so detailed and informative. It's such a good feeling to have people like you with value information to share with us travel bloggers. It's highly appreciated. Thanks for joining team.

[@enidpowell7992]

I knew about royal palm eastatt e i didn't know it close. down it's such a nice hotel the beach and everything so why some body don't open it well may be it's a big reason check it out

[@nickwilltravel]

It's more breathtaking in real Life 😅❤ and I totally agree with you. Such a beautiful piece of architecture shouldn't be left to rot. Let's see what's been done to this in the future. Am glad you enjoyed it.

Hey bro i know the hotel used to walk beside it to go to the beach, thank you for this video i didn't know it was abundant

[@nickwilltravel]

I know, it's truly a shame what happened to this beautiful place 🙏🏼🇯🇲.

[@LueVlog-x9v]

Nice 👍 Nick

❤Glad you enjoyed

[@PaulineOrmsby]

Stayed there in the seventies. It was a nice hotel then

[@nickwilltravel]

Oh that's interesting. It seems this place was swinging in the 90s❤

[@naturalmystics-kd9vt]

You feel so proud of what white people own in Jamaica i am glad it is close and the government should return the land to Jamaica people so they have the beach for themselves

[@nickwilltravel]

Very interesting point. ✅👍🏼

Minister of tourism please do something

[@daviddacres5717]

Its too near to the sea that is why they abandon it. The owners already knows about it. Its not worth renovating.

[@nickwilltravel]

I see, however they could still be another reason for it's abandonment. It's truly an amazing piece of property 👍🏼❤️

[@cheryldixon1841]

This need to get fix we cant have it go to wast some pls help it make it get some life again

[@nickwilltravel]

@@cheryldixon1841 hopefully it's already in negotiations for development. It's truly an amazing piece of architecture that should definitely not go to ruins. Stay blessed 🙏🏼🇯🇲💯

[@eileenwatt8283]

An investor will restore it. It will probably become a boutique all inclusive hotel where most Jamaicans abroad like to stay. There is none in Ochie only the big All inclusive ones. This has lots of potential.

Hi 👋 Nick❤

Built way too close to the sea. Not surprised it is abandoned.

[@nickwilltravel]

@@tgr5772 yea you got that right 😅. However it's location is is very appealing to potential buyers/ business investments.. thanks for watching. Stay tuned for more awesome content 💯🙏🏼

[@CurtBJam]

I thought the sea was too close as well but it is possible the sea was farther out when it was built.

[@tgr5772]

@@CurtBJam Very probably. Can you imagine what it would be like in a bad storm.

Either the owner died without a Will or he is in Jail. Watching from Calgary, Canada

[@nickwilltravel]

@@ytrade469 blessings to you, and all fellow Canadians 🇨🇦. Unfortunately the owner passed and the property has been left in ruins. I assume negotiations are underway to revive this marvelous property but that's all confidential information 🙏🏼. Thank for watching 🇯🇲💯

[@ytrade469]

@@nickwilltravel Nick that's what happens when anyone dies without a Will but in majority of the countries the belongings/assests go to the remaining living family members, you have to court through a lawyer and apply for Probate. Thanks for getting back so quick. From Calgary, Canada
