Sandals Royal Plantation Resort in Ocho Rios, Jamaica is one of my favorite adult-only all-inclusive resorts! I visited this resort and LOVED it. This Sandals resort has 74 ocean-view suites, making it a great boutique-style resort with butler service in all rooms. This resort overlooks the Caribbean Sea and the views are gorgeous. You’ll find 2 private beach coves, 5 world-class restaurants, and Jamaica’s only caviar & champagne bar located at this resort.
While some are not a fan of a small boutique-style resort, I loved it!! It is so quiet and truly relaxing, making it the best place to enjoy a vacation with your significant other to truly relax and enjoy each other’s company. I can’t wait to go back to this resort!

Private candlelight dinners, the 5 Senses of Love Experience, and other options are available for special occasions or celebrations for an additional cost.
If you plan to visit Sandals Royal Plantation, you will also have exchange privileges to visit Sandals Ochi Resort. This resort is much larger than Sandals Royal Plantation and has great restaurants and nightly entertainment. This is a great resort to visit if you’re looking to experience other Sandals resorts nearby as well. Only Sandals gives you two vacations in one in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, with their exclusive Stay at One Play at 2 Program. Your dining options expand to 21 restaurants. Round-trip transportation is included between resorts. Read all about my experience at Sandals Ochi here.
Overall Review
I love this boutique-style resort! It’s much smaller than other Sandals resorts, but I really like that. This may not be for everyone since entertainment is limited and it’s a very quiet resort, but this could be the resort for you! You do have the option to stay here and also visit Sandals Ochi, so that way you can get the nightly entertainment but still have the smaller style resort that you may want. Having butler service regardless of room category is another great perk when staying here.
