"Mrs. Issa’s concerns come against the background of reports that the Grand Lido Hotel in Negril has been granted permission to build 600 rooms, which is an added 384 rooms to an already overburdened Negril infrastructure. Further yet, the Ministry of Environment has now said they will keep the setback at 150’, but will allow less under “special circumstances”. The Ministry is yet to clarify what constitutes “special circumstances”.
Approval has also been given to build higher buildings - 4 stories instead of 3. Mrs. Issa asked Jamaicans to imagine 1,200 guests on the beach now instead of 432.

“The hotel is also showing images of rooms to be built over the water as well damaging sea life and sea grass beds.” – she said."
