Understated elegance and exquisitely private, this is Sandals Royal Plantation - an intimate all-butler resort of just 74 ocean view suites tucked into a magnificent coral bluff. You can spend your days lazing by the pool with cool libations delivered right to you by a beach butler. Tee off at nearby Sandals Golf & Country Club, followed by a spot of afternoon tea on the terrace. Renowned for unmatched attention to detail, this enclave of retro-chic sophistication showcases roaming peacocks and manicured lawns. This historic resort has long been a favorite hideaway for the international jet set and literary elite, with the likes of Ian Fleming and Noel Coward seeking its casual island elegance and authentic Jamaican vibe back in their day. Today, exquisite original furnishings and new innovations like Jamaica’s only champagne and caviar bar are what make Sandals Royal Plantation one of Ocho Rios’ best all-inclusive resorts.

Must read.. Amazing place and people, we have been going to Sandals for years now and recently due to medical reasons (cancer) I stopped drinking. I was nervous about going to an all inclusive that I love to indulge at. We notified the butlers (Andre and Johvan) they informed the manager of food and beverage (Wayne and Collin) and Roshane the manager of guest relations went out and purchased non alcoholic beer for me. AMAZING !! Ever time I would see the GM and Hotel manager (Omar and Marvin) they would make sure I was taken care of “as they do with all guests” but just making sure it was going good with the non-alcoholic drinks. Every night we would hang out at the pub and Junior and Garnet would make me a different special mocktail every night. They do have a menu of mocktails there FYI. So after being nervous about not drinking it was 100% comfortable. So anyone that’s thinking of going and not drinking they will definitely take great care of you as they have for us for years. Just passing on the extra mile sandals goes for all guest.

This was the most relaxing vacation ever Our butlers (Dewaney and Richard) were the nicest people as were Marvin and all the other staff!! Nothing was too much trouble and as always the food and drink was off the charts. We can’t wait to visit again. Sandals never disappoints!

My husband and I spent a week at Sandals Royal Plantation celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed and cared for. The resort is beautiful and intimate, but what truly makes it special is the staff. It is clear that General Manager Omar sets the tone through the way he personally interacts with guests and makes everyone feel at home. Our butlers, Richard and Duwainey, were exceptional. They surprised us with thoughtful touches throughout the week, including snacks, notes, sparkling wine, a bubble bath, and even my husband’s favorite bourbon. They anticipated needs before we even knew to ask. Daniello and Romane took wonderful care of us on the beach, where we spent most of our days. Brandon brought great energy and fun to the entertainment, while Andre, Nicole, and Stefenie were always warm and welcoming. Devoy made us feel special from the moment we arrived, and Demario provided wonderful service during our meals. Lashauna was especially memorable. She was incredibly kind, warm, and genuine, and she made breakfast each morning feel special. The entire team helped turn an important milestone into a week we will always treasure. We left feeling rested, grateful, and genuinely sad to say goodbye. We cannot wait to return to Sandals Royal Plantation.

This is a top pick of Sandals properties for my wife and I. It is a smaller location and we like that. Plantation is not the woo-woo crowd place to go. We are a bit older and so was most of the guests. If you are looking for a relaxing and respectful break, this is the place. Super chill and laid back. The dinners were really good. This is a top Sandals property for quality dinners. Everyone is so nice and helpful and our butlers were great. Although you can take a quick trip to Ochie we did not. We had some friends that went to Ochie for dinner and they had a good time. Our butler went to Ochie and got us lunch from the Jerk Shack and it was exactly like the old island restaurant on Sandals Royal island. We loved this property so much we already booked again. The manager is the best and clearly demands a high level of service from all that work for him and it shows in a good way.

Returned to SRP as part of a split stay for our 2nd renewal at Dunns. Hadn't been back since 2021 during our first ReTie the Knot and we've missed it! Though Arnold's no longer there, Omar is continuing the tradition of taking care of this little secret hideaway. We are sorry we missed the VIP luncheon this time-but definitely for next visit. Special Kudos to Marvin, ops manager for taking care of the property and guest when we visited. Working hard, talking the talk and walking the walk. We see you. Okeen may have been the hardest working server on the terrace for Italian alfresco. Beautiful beach and "plunge" pool thank you to Romane, Daniello, and Trevardo for excellent service. Delish dinner (our fav!) at Le Papillion with Joseph. JLee at the Peacock/Grill was the friendliest. Thank you to Tian and Vanya at Bfast each morning/Peter w/ room service. Horatio at Insiders club was efficient and so professional. (We recognize that having a game room/Insiders club w/ AC is a jewel) Lastly, Orayne and Safiyalee (along with/ Gladstone and Sherrill) are the hosts with the mostest-the barbifry chicken and the shepherds pies at Blue Shadow (and dominoes) were so special-thank you.
