Ocho Rios, Jamaica

5 stars

The most exquisite all-Butler resort to ever call the Caribbean home, Sandals Royal Plantation quite simply redefines luxurious island escapism. Sitting on a bluff overlooking not one, but two silky sand twin-cove beaches, the intoxicating sanctuary grants each of its 74 sumptuous suites heart-stopping views of the ocean and exclusive Butler Service. Bask blissfully on glorious golden-sand coves, where you can spend countless hours soaking in the sunshine and sipping on 'mangosas' delivered by unobtrusive Beach Butlers, or unwind with a relaxing treatment in the exclusive Red Lane® Spa.

“Sandals Royal Plantation”

Dec 10, 2025fulltimeholidayer

I echo everything said in the other 5 star reviews. This hotel is absolutely sublime. It's quite a laid back chilled vibe, but if you want a party night you have a younger party Sandals literally next door that you can go to. Everything - restaurants, bars, beaches, pool, grounds etc is picture perfect and the food was to die for. But the staff, now they are a cut above. Before we came I'd read so many glowing reviews about the manager Omar I'd been curious to meet him to see what can possibly make so many people so impressed. The reviews are all true he is the top of his game. All Sandals managers should spend some time with Omar before they are put in charge of a hotel. We've been to other Sandals resorts (Antigua, St Lucia and Grenada) and they were good but this is another level, thanks to Omar, and all the staff here. They work super hard and are excellent at their jobs. I have recommended this hotel to SO many people since our stay and I can't wait to go back.

“Amazing 45th Wedding Anniversary”

Nov 14, 2025jamminkev

We had a wonderful time at our Manor Side Villa. The accommodations were beautifully appointed with a wonderful view of the sea. Our butlers, LaDana and Jason, attended to every detail for us. It was our 45th wedding anniversary and could not have been more wonderful. The spa services were great, as well. We would highly recommend this resort.

“An amazing hotel with the very best staff, can’t wait to return”

Nov 03, 2025Clare B

Arrived back today from Royal plantation. We were 5 days late returning because of hurricane Malissa. The level of care we received during and after the hurricane was beyond amazing, especially when they and their families had been through so much. Omar the general manager and every member of his staff should be applauded for making everyone’s stay so special. A special mention to our butlers Andre and Johovan for looking after us so well and to the beach butlers for keeping us topped up with cocktails. Already planning our next trip, as I can’t imagine not returning. Stay safe and preying that Jamaica and its wonderful people recover quickly from this awful natural disaster.
