PHILADELPHIA, PA (March 25, 2010) – Secrets Resorts & Spas, the award-winning resort brand offering Unlimited-Luxury® vacations for adults-only, announces the opening of its first property in Jamaica, the Secrets Wild Orchid Montego Bay.

“AMResorts’ consistent growth is directly linked to our continued search for opportunities in the travel market,” said Alex Zozaya, president and CEO of AMResorts. Not only has Jamaica consistently remained strong during these tough economic times, but its natural beauty, premium tourism offerings and consistent appeal made it a destination of choice for Secrets Resorts & Spas.”
