The hotel

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.

Towards the end of last year following Melissa we didn’t think this holiday would’ve been possible but all testament to the Jamaican community how wrong we were. This was our second visit here and a return to our newly found happy place and it was so good to be welcomed home and to be recognised as returning guests by many members of staff. Omar and his entire team run a first class hotel and nothing is ever a problem. We had 3 butlers across our stay due to some annual leave. Neil and Chase again looked after us along with Carlos at the beginning of the stay. We didn’t ask for too much however the things we wanted we always catered for. There are so many people we could thank who made our stay so special. It’s so nice to see staff go out of their way to make your holiday special. Few to mention include Vanga , Sheree and Stephanie from The Terrace Restaurant who provided exemplary service across breakfast and lunch. Chevron from the French restaurant. Sequoia from loyalty who always stopped for a chat. Our room was situated on the first floor overlooking the beach with great sun rise views . It was cleaned daily and turn down service offered each evening. Entertainment is minimal but appropriate for the style of hotel and suited us being early risers to make the most of the daily sunshine.Food selection is impeccable with several option’s available across the resort for both lunch and dinners with varied menus available. We are already booked for next year! Read less

Great place for relaxing. The staff and butlers are amazing. My favorite bartender, Simone, at the beach bar and grill is the best!! She sees everything and everyone. Your glass never goes empty ♥️♥️♥️
