The hotel

The most exquisite all-Butler resort to ever call the Caribbean home, Sandals Royal Plantation quite simply redefines luxurious island escapism. Sitting on a bluff overlooking not one, but two silky sand twin-cove beaches, the intoxicating sanctuary grants each of its 74 sumptuous suites heart-stopping views of the ocean and exclusive Butler Service. Bask blissfully on glorious golden-sand coves, where you can spend countless hours soaking in the sunshine and sipping on 'mangosas' delivered by unobtrusive Beach Butlers, or unwind with a relaxing treatment in the exclusive Red Lane® Spa.

What can I say about SRP that hasn't already been shared below? If you're looking for a resort where you just want to lay back and relax, where you can enjoy the sound of the waves crashing on the beach, and where the staff take care of you without ever being asked, then this is your spot! As always, though, it's the staff that makes the experience so special. Someone is always asking if you need a beverage, or a snack, or anything else to make you comfortable. There are always fun surprises....like when our butler, Adrian just sat down at the piano in the restaurant and started serenading everyone.....fun and magical. We did a candlelight dinner to celebrate our anniversary and it exceeded our expectations, really living up to the hype of providing a romantic dining experience with elevated food and impeccable service. Adrian (woop! woop!) and Ricky took care of us from the moment we stepped out of our transfer to our final hug goodbye. Junior, at the bar, was there for us mixing up some amazing cocktails. The entire staff at the spa gave us a relaxing couples massage. Jessica at the travel center basically read our mind and drew up a trip proposal that matched exactly what we wanted for our next trip (without us even having to tell her we were going to come in and reserve). And finally, Omar was out and about every day checking in with all the guests, addressing all of us by name and wanting to make sure we were having a great time (which we were). We just finished our third visit to SRP and already have the 4th trip booked. Read less

I just returned from an amazing four night stay at Sandals Royal Plantation. The staff were wonderful. During the sunny days at the beach I was never without a frosty cocktail thanks to Danielle and Trevardo the beach butlers. Thank you to Sherril one of my butlers for suggesting Lobster Thermidor for lunch at the beachside restaurant. She requested it the night before and it was absolutely delicious. My other butler Gladstone arranged special dinner reservations for me and he always made sure that my requests were met. The pub was always a great place for a fun time. I especially enjoyed the general manager Omar’s karaoke song . I loved that he knew every guest’s name and always took time to visit with the guests. Overall my stay was excellent. Read less
