What to Know Before Staying at Princess Grand Jamaica
Set on Jamaica’s western coastline in Green Island, Hanover, Princess Grand Jamaica gives travelers a large resort setting close to Negril, with the north end of Negril about 15 minutes away and the famous Rick’s Cafe area around 40 minutes away.
Two Sides, One Unforgettable Stay
Princess Grand Jamaica is one of the major resort additions on Jamaica’s west coast, and the location is one of the first things visitors should understand. The resort is not in Montego Bay and it is not directly in central Negril. It sits in Green Island, Hanover, which places it close to Negril while still giving guests a larger, self-contained resort environment.
This makes the property interesting for travelers who want the comfort of a modern all-inclusive resort, but still like the idea of being near Negril’s beach culture, sunset spots, and relaxed west-end atmosphere.
The key is choosing the side that fits your trip: Princess Grand Jamaica for the family-friendly resort experience, or Princess Senses The Mangrove for the adults-only atmosphere.

Princess Grand Jamaica
Princess Grand Jamaica is the family-friendly side of the property. It is suited for families, groups, wedding parties, and travelers who want a lively resort base with pools, restaurants, entertainment, beach time, and plenty of activity without needing to leave the property every day.
Princess Senses The Mangrove
Princess Senses The Mangrove is the adults-only side. It is better suited for couples, honeymooners, adult groups, and visitors who want a more grown-up setting. The atmosphere is quieter, more refined, and designed for travelers who want a calmer version of the same Green Island resort setting.
