Almond open until June

The Almond Hotel brand’s return to St Peter will be lasting longer than originally anticipated.

With Jamaican hotel chain Sandals no longer starting construction on its large Beaches Resort property in April, Almond Beach Resort – which reopened on a smaller scale in January – will now be accommodating guests at least until the end of June.

There is also a possibility that there could be an additional extension, but this depends on how soon after June work on Beaches begins.

“We wish to announce that Almond Beach Resort has been granted an extension on its operations. Our last update announced the closure of the hotel for April 30, 2015,” Almond operator Sun Group Hotels announced yesterday.

“We are very excited to announce this date has been extended, and at this time we will continue to accept reservations through to June 30, 2015. The exact extension date beyond June 30 has not been settled to date; we will update you with it soonest.”
