It also comes with a fully stocked bar including beer, soda, juice, water, Robert Mondavi wine, and premium liquor, plus a coffeemaker with Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee; 24-hour inroom dining; and personal butler service.
Your team of butlers will take care of all your needs plus arrange special extras, doing things like helping unpack, making dinner reservations and spa arrangements, reserving chairs by the beach and pool, bringing you snacks and drinks throughout the day, booking excursions, and more.
Note that these rooms have a traditional décor that some guests find dated but others love. (We felt like it’s almost so outdated that it now has a vintage feel.) These suites are scheduled to be refurbished, but the process will be slow as it needs to happen when occupancy rates are low. If an updated room is important to you, be sure to ask when booking or look at suites that are in the East Wing, which has been renovated.
The room code is GR. Rates currently start at $700 per person per night.
Sandals Royal Plantation Overview
The smallest Sandals resort, Sandals Royal Plantation has just 74 suites. All of them are oceanfront, and all come with personal butler service. This makes Royal Plantation one of the most popular Sandals resorts for honeymoons and other special occasions.
We loved our visits here and find the level of service to be amazing and the vibe to be peaceful and relaxing. Plus, whenever you want more activity you can hop on the free shuttle to nearby Sandals Ochi, which as the largest Sandals resort has plenty to do (along with 16 restaurants and 11 bars to try). You also get free green fees at and transportation to a championship golf course.
Something to note is that the décor here is quite dated. This is because a very loyal clientele prefers it and doesn’t want things changed. Some people love the retro feel, and some do not.
Sandals Royal Plantation is located in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, and has 5 restaurants, 2 bars plus bar service at the beach and pools, 2 pools and a whirlpool, and 2 beautiful beaches.
