Sandals Royal Plantation All Inclusive - Couples Only

Our 3rd trip ‘home’ and it didn’t disappoint! So much to say about this beautiful resort that I don’t know where to start! The grounds, the accommodation, the staff - all are exceptional. We stayed in a royal monarch room and although we didn’t get the floor we requested we were happy with our room. All the rooms we’ve stayed in so far have been lovely. They have recently had a little facelift too which is nice but kept the traditional Caribbean style which we love about Royal Plantation. Our housekeepers kept our room beautifully clean and our bed was turn-downed every night. We had Alrick and Adrian aka Biggs again for butlers as requested and they were again fabulous, nothing was too much trouble. The staff is really what puts this property above and beyond, to mention a few - Sherika and Stephanie at breakfast who really looked after us also Vanya with her conversation and smile. The beach butler’s Daniello and Trevardo who made sure you always had a cool drink! Those mango Daiquiris were delicious! And the always smiling Garnet in the wobbly peacock who when they didn’t have any st Germain liqueur for a Hugo spritz he made me a delicious alternative drink which we named the Becci Spritz haha! It was sooo good! Also Junior and Tressel ( sp could be wrong! ) always looking after us. Another mention was the chef Leroy - he cooked the best steak down at The Grill one night, omg it was better than what we had in the French restaurant! It was lovely to see the fabulous GM Omar again, still bossing it as GM still remembering every guests name wow! Also Marvin and Wayne doing great jobs. Food was all pretty good, service a little slow at times in the French restaurant, maybe under staffed. But didn’t affect our enjoyment of the meal. I do think maybe a rotation each week on menus could be good as if staying for longer than a week menus can feel a bit limited. The same with the entertainment, I do think that this is one area that needs to be addressed at RP - it’s very limited and predictable. Yes I know you can go other to Ochi etc to the rabbit hole but RP is beautiful and honestly we would rather have better entertainment there than have to go to Ochi. The entertainment staff seems to have lost a bit of their sparkle and feels like they are going through the motions a little. We did the blue mountain biking and hiking trip which really enjoyed but it’s a long day and drive so just be prepared and we were also lucky enough to be there for a turtle release! A bucket list experience for sure ! We have rebooked for 2027 and I’m missing my morning mimosa and that beautiful view already! Oh talking of views my other moan why do the catamarans have to be moored up in front of the hotel?! It really ruins the view when sitting on the beach or dock and especially at sunset just a little gripe. We used club Kingston on both arrival and departure and it’s a must in my opinion. Transfers were smooth and pretty quick despite the distance to ho

Wonderful visit to Sandals RP. Made to feel welcome and at home the moment we stepped out of the transfer taxi. All the team from GM Omar and Customer Services Director Marvin to the lovely interns in the restaurant’s and working around the pool were committed to ensuring everyone had a truly memorable holiday. A huge thank you to everyone for a wonderful time. Marvin and Bebeto were once again outstanding and provided a service second to none. A special mention to Stephanie and Sherika and all the ladies in the Terrace who provided the perfect start to everyday. Also to Garnet and Tresell in the Wobbly Peacock who ensured our glades were never dry and mixed some devilish cocktails, the Martini night was one to remember, or so I’m told ‍‍ The food in all the Restaurants was top class and the service and atmosphere were superb, the speciality nights on the terrace were lovely and the evening entertainment was great. Sadly , I cannot remember the names of the beach butlers, but they work so hard to keep everyone fed and watered and demonstrate amazing skill as the balance drinks and plates as they move around the resort. A huge thank you to everyone we cannot wait to return next year

An amazing stay at SRP, it was bliss from the first welcoming smile to the final wave and goodbye song. Exceptional resorts need exceptional Managers to guide and lead and GM Omar excels at this, he is so hard working and he runs a tight ship. He doesn’t just manage he gets stuck in doing tasks around the resort and his hard work and dedication filter down through all his hard working and smiling staff. A special mention has to go to our 2 outstanding Butlers Adrian and Alrick, the Double AA team. They were the team that just made everything extra special for us, day in day out. We’ve never had personal Butlers before and now we are already worrying how our next vacation will be if we don’t have them as they had such a massive positive impact on us! Food, service and drinks are were all great, you’d never be without a silver tray served drink in your hand, whether by the pool, beach or bar. The resort is in pristine condition and the plentiful flowers and plants look beautiful as you walk around. Downsides? We came here directly from another Sandals down the road which is ultra modern, so the rooms at SRP looked slightly dated but they are in great clean condition and of a generous size. SRP feels like a boutique country club hotel, it’s unique and has won a special place in our hearts.

A big thanks to all the beach butlers, Daniello, Romaine, and Trevardo. You are the best at what you do and always keep our cups and coolers full. Thank you for making our stay stress free. And of course our great friend Lorna in the gift shop. What an amazing person she is and a great friend. We always enjoy your amazing attitude and great smile. Others in the gift shop that were especially nice Doneil, Karen, and Ashley. And our amazing butler Adrian. Just unbelievable what you do on a daily basis to make, not just our stay great, but everyone you come in contact with. Our thanks will never be enough. Anthony, Dulwainey, Delgardo, and Richard also helped out and were generous to lend their time for a day or so while also tending to their own clients. Thanks to all the amazing wait staff who go about their business with a smile on their face and a greeting to put a smile on yours. I cant name them all, but the ones we mostly encountered on this trip were Wilton, Stefnie, Sherika Tianna, Wayne, Delmarco, Romaine, Delmar. A big shout out to Chevon and Hushane who were at almost all of our dinners. You guys rock and do a fantastic job. Roshane did an outstanding job resolving a security concern and was prompt and attentive to our situation. Thank you Housekeeping was excellent as always, Avery, Natalia, and Natalie. To the people raking the beach, great job as always. The beach always looks amazing!! Finally the spectacular spa staff Rona and Marva, you were awesome and made our massages great. We cant wait for the next one!!!

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.

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.
