Jamaica’s Tensing Pen Has Big Plans

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - April 18, 2017

Jamaica’s Tensing Pen (one of our best Jamaica hotels) has big expansion plans.

One of the property’s longtime owners, Sam Petros, recently gained full ownership of Tensing Pen and now plans an expansion and upgrade project.

The pool at Tensing Pen.

The project would include upgrades to the resort’s existing structures including the bar and dining areas, along with new sun decks along the seafront.

The boutique resort includes a collection of cottages, treetop bungalows and a pool on the limestone cliffs of Negril’s West End.
