The CDC recommends that you do not travel internationally until you are fully vaccinated. International travel poses additional risks, and even fully vaccinated travelers might be at increased risk for getting and possibly spreading some COVID-19 variants.

COVID-19 FAQs
When do I schedule my COVID-19 test for my return flight home?
Upon arrival in Jamaica, the Hyatt Concierge Staff will book your complimentary COVID-19 antigen test appointment which you will take one day prior to your flight home.
What happens if I test positive for COVID-19?
If a guest tests positive, they will be asked to pack their belongings and move to a different room to isolate. They will be given a PCR test to confirm the results. The PCR results should be available in 12 – 48 hours.
If the PCR test is negative, the guest can leave quarantine and fly home.
If a guest tests positive, they are required to isolate for 5 days. Guests with mild or asymptomatic symptoms do not have to be retested on Day 5. They will be issued a “Fit to Fly” letter from the Jamaican Ministry of Health. Again, no further COVID-19 test is required.
Guests that are symptomatic, but improving, will be checked daily by the hotel medical team. Depending on the improvement of symptoms, they may also receive a “Fit to Fly” letter. No further COVID-19 test is required.
If severely sick on Day 5, isolation may be required for another 5 days. Guests needing specialized attention will be monitored by doctors and the hospital is 5 minutes from the resort.
What happens if I test positive and my spouse/roommate is negative?
The positive roommate will quarantine and the negative roommate can go home. We discourage the COVID negative roommate from sharing the quarantine room. It is allowed but discouraged. The negative roommate still must test one day prior to flying home and risks further quarantine should they test positive. Meanwhile, the original positive roommate would have been issued the “Fit to Fly” letter.
The negative roommate can stay on the property in a different room if they choose.
Who pays for my extended stay if I test positive?
ABC is covering the cost for your extended stay at the resort in the unlikely event you test positive. Isolation accommodations are in a standard category room, including food and beverage.
Do I have to stay in my room if I test positive?
Guests must stay in their rooms. They may not leave until issued a “Fit to Fly” letter by the Ministry of Health. A balcony is available in each quarantine room.
Rest assured, we are taking the necessary steps to keep you healthy and safe.
