From humble beginnings to building a legacy: The Calleecia Myers story

Growing up in the rural community of Ashton District, Westmoreland, Calleecia Myers never imagined that her journey would one day lead from the quiet hills of Jamaica to corporate leadership in the United States and, ultimately, back home as a hospitality entrepreneur and investor. Raised in a close-knit community grounded in faith, family, hard work and perseverance, Calleecia credits those early values with shaping both her personal and professional success. At age 18, she migrated to the United States to pursue higher education.

Over the years, she built a successful career in financial services, rising to the position of vice president and senior manager. Alongside her corporate achievements, she pursued her entrepreneurial aspirations, Calleecia and her husband are co-founders of Irie Jerk Grill, a Jamaican food truck and catering company based in New Jersey. What began as a dream has evolved into a respected Jamaican brand throughout the tri-state area, serving corporate organisations, universities, hospitals, municipalities and private events across the Northeast.

The company has catered for major organizations including Toyota North America, Pepsi Beverages North America, the New York Giants and Arm & Hammer, among many others. Despite her accomplishments abroad, Calleecia says her connection to Jamaica has never diminished. That connection inspired her latest venture, Luxe Loft Penthouse, a luxury hospitality property located in Ironshore, Montego Bay.

For Calleecia, the property represents more than a vacation rental. It is an investment in Jamaica, a celebration of Jamaican hospitality and the realisation of a dream that has brought her journey full circle. A Luxury Experience Rooted in Jamaican Hospitality Designed for travelers seeking more than traditional accommodations, Luxe Loft Penthouse offers an elevated Caribbean experience where luxury, comfort and entertainment seamlessly come together.

The property features approximately 4,500 square feet of indoor and outdoor living space, including two spacious bedrooms, 2.5 luxury bathrooms, private elevator access and expansive covered balconies with breathtaking 360-degree panoramic ocean views. Inside, contemporary design is paired with thoughtful amenities such as remote-controlled zebra blinds, LED bathroom mirrors, oversized closets, a safe deposit box and private laundry facilities.
