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!!!

OMG. Omar has upped the game on this resort. Everyone is so pleasant, polite and happy, they all treat you like an extended part of their family. They all go above and beyond, nothing is to much trouble. It’s was great to see a few familiar faces from our previous stays, Marvin, Lorna and Marcie. Also great to meet new faces to, Sequoia who was excellent company during our signature return guest dinner. Every good ship needs a great captain, behind him he needs a great crew, I believe that is what’s happening here. It’s well worth a visit

This resort is fantastic! We have visited 4 Sandals resorts. Negril, Royal Caribbean and St. Lucia (Halcyon). This one is the best so far. It is a quiet and quaint resort, which is what we prefer. The service is so personalized. Every encounter we made with the employees was awesome, from grounds keepers to the GM. The GM is Omar, and he is amazing. First of all to have interaction with the GM of a vacation resort is rare to non existent. Omar was a part of our every day experience. He remembers and greets you by name! He greeted us upon arrival, handed out popsicles at the beach. "Boozy or non Boozy". He would even stop by the restaurants and say hi, and ask if there was anything we needed. This is an all Butler resort. Our butlers were Andre and Johovan. They were great! Whatever you needed and whenever you needed it. Everyone said hi to you as you passed, The food was delicious! Choices are limited, due to the size of the resort. Only 75 or so rooms, but Sandals Ochi is right next door and is only a short 5 minute shuttle ride away. Rooms are what I would call old world. Dark solid wood furnishings. Some my call it out dated, I would not say that as the rooms are very clean and maintained. There are renovations underway in some of the rooms. We stayed in the Imperial Oceanfront one bedroom(All rooms are oceanfront). We liked it so much that we decided to book another trip to this resort. We are Sandals select members, so you get additional loyalty discounts when booked on location. A small deposit is all that is needed.

When we were looking for honeymoon destinations, we thought that Jamaica would be great for the beach and excursions, and we also thought Sandals would guarantee us a good quality resort. We sadly left Royal Plantation a couple of weeks ago, and wish we could have stayed! It is an all butler resort, so everyone is treated to the same exceptional service. You also get to visit the other local resorts, Dunns River and Ochi for a great variety of evening food and entertainment. We stayed for two weeks, and when people have asked what it was like, to summarise: beautiful place with beautiful people. The room and resort has a lovely old style about it, that feels homely and luxurious in comparison to the more modern resorts. It only had 70 rooms, which meant there was plenty of space on one of the private beaches or by the pool. It never felt busy or crowded, so it was a great escape. Most people were middle aged and older, but there were a few young couples like us on their honeymoon and because we could access the other resorts (which are younger) we had plenty to do and were able to go out drinking etc. we didn’t realise until later on in the two weeks but the wobbly peacock pub actually becomes a bar half the nights where you can dance etc. at the other resorts you have the rum club and the rabbit hole (which were awesome!) Our butlers were Robert and Anthony- they both have a heart of gold and are so lovely to get to know. They made our honeymoon special at every opportunity, thank you so much! We also wanted to mention some other amazing people that we met, that made our stay extra special: Vanya and David at breakfast- so funny and warm, we really enjoyed getting to know you. The beach butlers were awesome and remembered what we ordered- very attentive and had lovely chats with you. I also have to mention Lorna and the girls in the gift shop- the store didn’t have my size in water shoes and they arranged for them to be ordered in for me… Despite me encouraging them to take a dip in the fountain to cool off lol. You were all so friendly, and warm and welcoming and made our holiday. Royal Plantation is so special, because it is filled with amazing people. Usually towards the end of a two week holiday, you’re ready to go home and we were not. It felt like being at home. The food was great, especially the jerk chicken! Our maid Morena, kept our room beautiful and clean for us. The whole resort was beautiful and very special- when we left, Omar (general manager) and the team sang to us, which was a lovely surprise. To summarise, just book here- you don’t need to think or worry about anything, they will look after you and you will not regret it. Thank you so much everyone, and especially Anthony and Robert. When we have the money, we will be back 100% and look forward to seeing you all again!

Keanio and Delgado were the most incredible staff and truly made our trip so special. Their level of service, attention, and spirit made the Plantana Villa a wonderful vacation and birthday trip. Shanique maintained our rooms impeccably and always kept our space enjoyable. Thank you for a great trip!
