Sandals Royal Plantation

Wow! We stayed for 10 nights and it was a fabulous experience from the moment we arrived. A stunning location and an outstanding service from all staff. The suites are perfect and spacious with a well stocked mini bar and a bed so comfortable, the sunrise was what encouraged me to get out of it every day. Omar, the general manager is always near at hand and knows the name of all guests, a real pleasure to talk to. At the beach bar, Simone mixed the most amazing cocktails and was generally fabulous. Sherika always has a smile on her face at breakfast and keeps your mimosa topped up, as well as your coffee. The glass bottom boat trip is well worth doing, you learn a lot about the surrounding area as well as being kept entertained by Fabienne, who really should be a comedian. Too many staff to mention all of them, but they are all fabulous! Our butlers Chase and Neil couldn't have been more helpful, from booking our restaurants, to checking in to see how our day went, to running us bubble baths .... the list goes on. I can only describe this resort and the service as a luxurious paradise. No wonder there were so many returners!

Fabulous is the only way we could describe our experience at Royal Plantation. We're just back from our first visit and will absolutely be back. Everyone was so welcoming and made our stay very special. Marvin and Omar have a fantastic team and everyone made us feel really valued and special. Nothing is too much to ask and everyone goes out their way without hesitation. There are so many of the team that we got to speak to but a special call out must go to Anthony and Robert who were our butlers for our stay. They made sure we wanted for nothing and that we got everything we needed from restaurant bookings to items for our room. Thanks also to Garnet (aka the Crocodile) for the wonderful cocktails, Vanya for brightening our days at breakfast, Daniello for our drinks by the pool (loved his Scottish accent), Chevon and everyone in the Spa. The restaurants are all special and morning, noon and night everything on offer is excellent. Add to that you can use the facilities at Ochi and can recommend Kimonos there. The pace of life in Royal Plantation was very relaxing which was exactly as we wanted and as visiting Jamaica has always been a dream of mine I'm so glad that we picked the perfect resort for our first visit. We can't wait to hear the words "Welcome Home" sometime soon.

Another fabulous stay at Sandals Royal Plantation! It just gets better and better. The personalized service is amazing. It is a beautiful resort with lovely beaches, plenty of chairs, beautiful terrace pool and restaurant. Le Papillon French restaurant is amazing. All the rooms have water views. We love our room butlers and the beach butlers. GM Omar is top notch and his assistant manager Marvin as well as Roshane are all about customer service. We have already booked 3 more trips!

We've favorably reviewed this all-inclusive, small Sandals resort a number of times in the past and were concerned about the aftereffects from the cat 5 hurricane last October. We're pleased to report that all is well and the resort continues to be among the very best. The team, lead by GM Omar, is upbeat, efficient and pleasant. Interestingly, they lost to large docks in the storm but they were rebuilt better than ever by March. The one caveat for potential guests is there are a lot of stairs so if mobility is an issue for a traveler, this might not be the best choice.

This was our second trip to SRP (had to reschedule from SMB due to Hurricane Melissa) and we couldn’t have been more pleased. We reconnected with staff we already knew - Richard and Duwainey (our butlers, who were fantastic), Garnet and Junior in the Wobbly Peacock, Romane, Trevardo and Daniello the beach butlers…but we also had the pleasure of meeting new (to us) staff. Omar and Marvin right a tight ship. Roshane as a guest services manager is so personable and enthusiastic. But the icing on the cake…Simone the bartender at the Royal Grill. Nobody gets away with nonsense but there’s always time for a laugh. She was kind of like a whirlwind, making drinks with multiple guests at the bar and beach butlers placing orders for guests. You never waited long and she always remembered your favorites. Our room in the West building had undergone some minor refurbishment. I’d suggest reevaluating the bed frames though as ours squeaked like crazy when you turned over in our sleep. Found out there was a block of wood holding it up in the middle. We were quite comfortable thanks to the mattress topper and memory foam pillows.
