The new 366-room Iberostar Rose Hall Bay Resort, the first of three being developed by the Spanish hotel group in Jamaica, will open for business in May.

"The resort offers a unique blend of elegant colonial styling, lavish services and breathtaking ocean views from all corners," said Iberostar in an announce-ment Monday.

The seaside all-inclusive hotel features an 800-capacity theatre, a kid's club for four-12 year olds, four restaurants offering "a taste of Cajun and Japanese with Tepanyaki, and the Caribbean", and polished guestrooms with a private balcony or terrace.

The majority of the rooms, 234, have garden and pool views, 100 ocean view, and 32 are junior suites.

Rose Hall Bay's lobby also offers an ocean view.
