We stayed at Sandals Royal Plantation in the Villa Plantana. It was the best vacation I have ever taken. Our butler was so wonderful, he endeared us to love Jamaica and it's people. The food was wonderful, and the entertainment was top notch.

Amazing experience! Our butler Anthony gets 5 stars! We will be requesting him next time. He deserves lots of recognition! Uton and Bobby were great bartenders. Lovely to talk to. Food was great as well as all the staff was very accommodating. The showers in the room could be better. We did have a bad experience at the Sandals next door at the Italian restaurant called Valentino with Taneika. She gave the men in our group a hard time because they didn’t have a collar shirt on. Then in the end tells us to come in after berating us like children. We did not end up dining here. It’s a ridiculous policy that should be dropped. We spent $5k per couple on this trip and should not be pressured to wear certain clothes to eat dinner while we are relaxing on vacation.

This was our 11th stay at a Sandals or Beaches resort and it did not disappoint! Very unique property; low key, quiet and relaxing but what made it different than any other was the level of personal attention. We have never had butlers before and weren’t sure what to expect but because everyone had them it leveled the playing field at this resort. Oren and Marvin were amazing! From any request we had to the fun surprises they planned we were blown away by the level of service they provided. Resort gets very quiet at night but no worries, head to Ochi on the shuttle if you want more of a nightlife and by all means check out the Rabbit Hole if you go! Kayan and Jeannine at the Red Lane Spa were phenomenal; thoroughly enjoyed the massages! Food was fantastic, drinks were great, especially the espresso martini! Daniello, Trevado and Adrian were fun and entertaining beach butlers who kept us hydrated. All in all a wonderful resort that we hope to visit again in the future!

My wife Dephane and I celebrated our 34-year wedding anniversary at Sandals Royal Plantation in Ocho Rios, Jamaica and are still at a loss for words to adequately describe the experience. The word amazing is simply insufficient!

My wife and I absolutely love this place! Can't wait to return!! Staff is so wonderful. Food can't be beat! We absolutely love the classic feel of the hotel and the quietness and quaintness of the place. Close enough to the larger and louder places you can go get your taste of things there and then come back to solitude and luxury!
