  • Raising a family in Jamaica has many innate benefits. But doing so while running a business is no easy feat.
    I had the opportunity to sit down with Kory South, CEO of Sunset Resort, located in Treasure Beach Jamaica in the Parish of St. Elizabeth. We spoke about a number of topics including running a hotel during a pandemic, raising his family in Jamaica, the Treasure Beach lifestyle and the recent upgrades to St. Elizabeth.
    I hope you enjoy this sit-down with a fellow family business owner.

    This is so refreshing. I continue to hope that more native JAMAICAS can come to appreciate the greatness and beauty of our Lovely Island as much as other persons do. God knows.... JAMAICA LAND WE LOVE🇯🇲👍

    Living a beautiful life , noticed with the manners in the UK, they don't use them much, I've always used mine , being in business it's always 'Good Morning' you have to almost prise it out of people these days. In Jamaica its warming to hear and gives you a lovely start to your day. Been to Treasure Beach for the day , was just amazing. Soon be back .

    🇯🇲 Thanks for your enlightening contents.
    The more you post is the more expansive my trivia on the humbling personas and impactful lives of our "adopted Jamaicans".
    All of whom have long lived & contributed to the local economy while our "siblings" fled to yonder lands looking for greener "lettuce & bop-choy".
    I feel so morning dew-like refreshed & pure after a viewing, devoid of hype, toxicity or victimhood that is so rife on social media.
