    Devine Destiny, in Negril Jamaica, was one of the premiere hotels in the '90's and early '00's. Due to a series of unfortunate events the property ultimately failed. Now the owners are on a mission to sell. I had the opportunity to walk the property with James Horvath, one of the owners. I learned about the history of this property and what it was like in its hey day. But perhaps most importantly we discussed what this property could potentially turn into. It's a large 10.5 acre property with a lot of potential. I also had a conversation with Mragit Eder of Valerie Levy & Associates who is the realtor representing this property. We also ideated ideas on what this property could turn into. We of course talked selling price as well. I hope you enjoy this real estate fixer upper video.

    One of my top 5 channels across all platforms. Absolutely refreshing to hear positive stuff coming out of Jamaica as opposed to the negative vlogs. Keep it up, I've just purchased land in St Ann. Any chance of you doing a video on the real estate potential up there?
    Mr Wellington you and your family deserve to be recognised for not ony uplifting the narrative on Jamaica but also doing a lot to alleviate the fears of Jamaicans I the diaspora and showing real potential and opportunities. I'm 1st generation UK born but will be making my move in the hopefully near future 💯

    The Jamaican government, doesn't matter which party, is just horrible and deceptive! They promise that these big hotel chains would not be undermining the othe mom and pop hotels with their pricing and then turn around and let the big hotel chains do exactly that! Then to add insult to injury these big chain hotels market their resorts as being more safe, because of the all inclusive model, that in return further hurt the local hotels. So under handed! Definately some palms where greased.

      Most international investors are extracting and not helping Jamaica or Jamaicans in general. The government only caters to Europeans, Arabs and Asians so Afro Jamaicans should just stay back. In general Jamaica is a neo colonial failed state run by white and mulatto peoples locally and international.

      "Afrocentric!" Jamaicans don't call themselves "Afrocentric ".
      We are Jamaicans of many different ethnicities blended in one people.
      We know we have African roots but we are also a fusion of all the different nationalities that were transported there. It makes us a people with several cultures blended into one.
