Sandals Royal Plantation

It's not the building, views, or even the food that keep us coming back. We just completed our sixth stay here over the past 15 years and some of the same employees are still there. Getting to know the staff is truly the best part. The managers, Omar and Marvin, are running this place as if it was their own home. Always checking on guests by name, checking the food, and really caring about the experience. You will certainly find prettier rooms with fancy bathrooms all over the Caribbean, but you'll never find better hospitality and personalized service. If you want anything all, just ask. They'll do it! Special lunch? Unique drink? Just ask! They even provided coffee beans in my room so I could grind my own coffee. Those little touches make all the difference in the world.

My spouse and I recently returned for a stay at the Sandals Royal Plantation. This resort is such an incredible place to rest & relax. It’s a boutique-style experience that we love! The service here is exceptional! Every team member we encountered was kind, attentive, & genuinely committed to making our stay memorable. The service feels like it comes straight from the heart. A special thank you to General Manager Omar Robinson. It's not every day you meet a GM who takes the time to greet guests by name. You will feel seen & valued during your stay! That personal touch adds so much to the experience, & is a big part of why we keep coming back. If you’re looking for a place to disconnect to reconnect, this is the place! We look forward to returning.

We’ve been to various sandals and SRP is by far our favorite. The entire staff is wonderful and friendly. You feel so welcomed! I believe it all starts with Omar the GM who I cannot say enough about. The fact he knows every guest by name is amazing! He walks around and is present even made ice popsicles 😁 as I told him he should make them and did not disappoint. Our butlers, Duwainey and Richard are out of this world with class and we call them our friend!!! Another individual I want to mention is Simone who gave so much of herself not only to us but to all the guests. This is our second visit to SRP and looking forward to our next visit August 2026.

Firstly apologies for taking so long to write a review as we stayed in September 2024, I am sure I wrote one but can not find it, so here goes. This was not just a holiday for us. We actually got married at the resort, just the two of us for an intimate wedding. We had a few concerns before arriving as our experience of the Sandals UK call centre was not the greatest. However, these were taken care of before arriving following the intervention of Omar from the hotel, who assured us that it would be perfect for us. Everything was just amazing. We were looked after by everyone at the hotel and our wedding day was just perfect. The hotel is beautiful, and the location with its two cosy beaches gave us a sense of being in an Agatha Christie novel, small enough to feel like you are an invited guest to a private resort. Whilst we ventured out to the other resorts nearby, we were always so glad to return to our hotel where the food and services were so much better. Our perfect days were a swim in the sea before breakfast. We ate a relaxed breakfast in the outside area overlooking the sea, followed by a on the beach, with drinks being served non-stop at our beds, a bit of paddle boarding, and just chilling. For us, the peaceful surroundings, no loud music, and well behaved fellow guests made the experience one to remember. We have just booked to come back again (September 2025) for our 1st anniversary and look forward to seeing Omar and his crew again.

My recent email and review to the GM at Royal Plantation: Good Morning Omar! Tim and I arrived home safely yesterday evening with all of our art carvings intact! I apologize in advance for the length of this email but I would be remiss in not giving a shout out to you and your staff....... I am not sure where to begin to thank you and your amazing staff for probably our best vacation ever. Your energy is palpable and it reflects in each and every staff member we encountered throughout the week. I hope they all know how appreciated each and every one of them are to us. I am sure I will miss some names here but I'd like to give a shout out to those we have known over the years and those that we met for the first time this year. They are all special people and each one went out of their way to make this trip special for us. I start with Andre and Johovan. They are nothing short of amazing. We consider them friends and family. Their attention to detail, their spirit, all of the special touches throughout our stay were just wonderful. I can't imagine a vacation there without them. Sherril holds a very special place in our hearts. She was one of our very first butlers in 2014 and her infectious laugh and spirit continue to warm our hearts. Even though we were not her guests, she took time for us to catch up and reminisce over the past and it was lovely. In 2023 we met dear Vanya at The Terrace and we were thrilled to see her again this year. She has the most wonderful warm smile. We were also blessed to see Tiana and Stephne and we met Sherika for the first time and enjoyed her lovely personality at The Terrace and The Grill. We also met Sheena, Giovanni and Romaine for the first time at dinner and they were so warm and engaging. In 2023 we also met dear Chevon (Chevy) up in La Papillon. He holds a corner of our hearts and we were thrilled to reconnect with him again this year. He brings pure joy to everything he does. To Chef Martin and Chef Vinroy, we cannot thank them enough for the wonderful food they produced each and every day and the special lobster dishes (yum!) and of course our private meal on our balcony. They are simply spectacular! A huge shout out goes to Daniello, Trevardo and Romaine down at the beach. We have known them for many years and they are fantastic beach butlers. They made our time down on the beach so much fun. They are all three wonderful individuals and work so very hard. Of course there is the Wobbly Peacock. It was wonderful to reconnect with Tressel. She makes the #1 espresso martini I have ever had anywhere! There of course was also Garnet, Junior and Jlee. All of them were so much fun! At the spa, Dianna was fantastic and it was a pleasure spending some time with Trecia, the head of the spa. To Marvin.... he was and has always been a great person to have conversation with and his love for what he does clearly shows in everything he touches. I huge shout out to our room attendant, Nariesha. She was always so polite and clearly cared greatly for her job as she had amazing attention to detail throughout our stay. I hope we can have her again in 2026! There are also all of the beach attendants who took care of the beach each day. I wish I had their names. I would watch them prepare the beach each morning and it was just amazing what great care they took to make the beach ready for everyone every morning. Finally, many thanks to Sequoia for showing us a couple of new room options and helping me to book our next three stays at Royal Plantation .

We enjoyed every minute of our anniversary trip here. The staff from the managers to the cooks were all courteous and amazing. They made us feel at home as if we were family. Marvin, Omar and the rest of the staff made sure we didn't miss a moment of our wonderful experience. Every need was taken care of to the smallest detail. We will be coming back to this location to visit our new found family!

Very luxurious and premium all inclusive resort. My wife and I have stayed here 3 times and will be back! This is an all butler Sandals property and Omar and his staff are very friendly and accommodating. You don't have to lift a finger if you don't want to. Hospitality is the name of the game at this resort! The staff know you by your name and really care about your stay. The food and entertainment is also top notch! Our room was very clean and tidy, not to mention comfortable! I love the overall layout of the resort as well as the overall size of the resort. It's a smaller resort, but it's very well done. A must stay!!!

Just came home from the most wonderful stay at the Royal plantation. Before we got to the resort, I was concerned about making the right choice. I worried it would be too small and quiet for me and my partner. The pictures do not do it justice, After a couple of days of being there, the resort stole my heart. It is truly a magical place. The beach is beautiful and so calm. The hotel is so elegant and charming, I lived on champagne and lobster pure heaven, but the best bit of this wonderful place is the staff, you can tell they're all really happy there and all love their jobs, our butlers were amazing they made us feel like royalty, nothing was ever too much trouble. I felt really emotional there as it was just perfect I really did not want to come home, the royal plantation will always hold a special place in my heart
