Sandals Royal Plantation

For over 10 years now we have been spending time at what feels like our very own private home away from home. This boutique, 70 room resort is the perfect getaway! While this resort is quiet and subdued, perfect for relaxation, Sandal's has hourly transportation to Sandal's Ochi right next door if you are in the mood for more energy and party atmosphere! Royal Plantation itself if in need of updating, but part of it's charm is truly the nostalgic decor. For us what makes the resort and the vacation is not the resort itself but the people of the resort that take care of us while we are there. We wanted to highlight a few of this people. The current General Manager Omar started early in 2024 and is doing a nice job. He is approachable, personable, and remembers every single guests name and greets you by name! Omar's righthand team member overseeing all departments and operations on resort is Marvin Boyd. He has been with Sandal's over 10 years and is a shining example of service! While we were there we had a couple special requests, that despite some obstacles, Marvin came through, with no hesitation! The head chef as well as Chef Vinroy did an exceptional job and took the time to make special lunches just because! This resort is an all butler resort. These folks take care of you during your stay. We have worked with Orayne the Butler on every stay at Royal Plantation, and he is exceptional! His partner Safiya is also amazing. On a previous trip we also had the opportunity to work with Carlos. We ran into him on this trip and he remembered us by name, despite us not working with him in over three years! This entire Butler team is amazing! The two Beach Butler's that deserve total credit for the food, drinks, energy, and service on the beach are Dantello and Trevardo. These two team members also remember guests from year to year, remembering drink preferences, etc! Very impressive when they have a new group of 140 guests every 7 days. Finally, the three bartenders at the Wobbly Peacock, Collin, Garnet, and last but definitely not least Junior. These gentlemen not only made exceptional cocktails, but they also took the time to interact with guests, showing a genuine interest in all patrons. This resort, and these PEOPLE are why we have been spending time at Sandal's for over 20 years, and at Royal Plantation for over 10 years. Thank you Royal Plantation Team!

From the moment we arrived at Sandals Royal Plantation, it was clear this resort is something truly special. What sets it apart isn’t just the beauty of the property or the serene, boutique-style atmosphere—it’s the exceptional customer service and the dedication of the staff. Every single team member we encountered went above and beyond to make us feel not only welcomed, but genuinely cared for. The attention to detail, warm smiles, and willingness to accommodate every request made our stay feel effortless and luxurious. The leadership at this resort deserves special recognition. Under the guidance of General Manager Omar and Marvin, the staff operates with such professionalism, passion, and heart that you can feel it in every interaction. Their leadership is evident in the way the team works seamlessly together, anticipating guest needs and ensuring every moment is memorable. Sandals Royal Plantation isn’t just a resort—it’s an experience of hospitality at its very best. If you’re looking for a place where the people truly make the difference, this is it. We can’t thank Omar, Marvin, and the entire staff enough for giving us such an unforgettable stay.

Another exceptional trip! Hard to imagine it could get better, but it did. Deletectable food! Caring staff - from our amazing butlers, Anthony and Robert, great Bartenders-Junior, Garnet & Kims(misspelled sorry) Vanya’s beautiful smiling face- Sherika, Stacey-Ann, Tiana and Orneila who made our dining lovely. Sooo many thanks to Chef Vinroy! Daniello - beach butler extraordinaire! Danianna at the spa pampered me again. A couple of last shout out to Kenmarnie- who made our entrance and exit safe- you went the extra mile. Also Michael our driver- Sequoia. Sooo looking forward to seeing you all again next year!

Welcome home 💚 We are returning guests and this will forever be our favorite place to stay. Omar the general manager is amazing! You will see him through out your stay and he will greet you by your name. Every single team member makes you feel special! They are the elite! Our butlers Neil and Chase made our week amazing! If you have never done the couples tropical paradise massage it is a must! We can’t wait to come back home!

‘Welcome home’ in all its finery. We are returning guests, and after a wobbly start this was our best trip yet, no doubt linked to the excellent management and leadership team. Omar, Marvin, and Samantha, what a team, working tirelessly to ensure that our holiday was everything and more. Beautiful souls, beautiful food, we had the time of our life. The hotel continues to deliver, and is better than ever, peaceful, intimate and personal. The freshest of fruit and seafood daily. The stand out of the show is the ‘your wish is my command’ concept, feels as if anything (reasonable) is possible, and the entire staff team do all they can to ensure your holiday is wonderful. Anthony our butler was fantastic, his smile and joyful demeanour is a wonderful addition to a beautiful Caribbean day. Anthony is a credit to Sandals, fulfilling any promise he makes, professional, helpful, and takes the initiative, you don’t even realise you want a hot bubble bath until you get back to your room and it’s there (with beautiful flowers too). The spa and a massage from Shirley were delightful, our best massages to date (no easy task given we enjoy massages throughout our travels). Omar I cannot praise the GM enough, our expectations are high and Omar exceeded any expectations we have. He is present, visible and connected to the guest and their experience at all times. Where in the world does the GM go to the local supermarket to purchase a new hair comb for you because yours is lost, within hours of my hair comb being lost I gratefully received replacements, and Omar did not consider it resolved until I had exactly the right replacement. The team at sandals continue to do what they do best, they smile, laugh, sing, cook the finest and freshest food, deliver anything that you ask for, and thank God for their blessings, beautiful and humble souls.
