⚠️ 2026 Travel Alert: To bring guests an even higher standard of luxury, JOIA Rose Hall is temporarily closed for a major refurbishment from June 1, 2026, to November 30, 2026. During this closure, we highly recommend booking your stay at the adjacent Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites!
💡 Insider Tip: JOIA guests enjoy exchange privileges with the neighboring sister properties, meaning you have access to over a dozen restaurants. However, the upscale French atelier restaurant right on the JOIA side is the hardest reservation to get—make sure to email your butler a week before arrival to secure your preferred dining time.
