What a wonderful week! We have been to several Sandals resorts but never a butler resort. Wow is all I can say! The resort is a small resort however that is a plus. The beaches were small but nice, there are two sides of the resort, both have a beach. The grounds were beautiful as is the case with all Sandals resorts. The food was delicious however servings were kinda small however you could order as much as you like. The staff were excellent! From the GM Omar to the servers all were exceptional. A few I would like to mention are our Butlers, Adrian “Bigs” and Alrick! They were so attentive and met our every need. Garfield at the front desk was always willing to help. The beach servers Danielle, Tara, Trevardo, Devoy never had us waiting for anything! My wife went to the spa twice and said it was wonderful! Her masseuse was Shirley who she said was amazing! So many others that I wish I could recall. There is also a shuttle that takes you to the other resort Ochi that’s worth the ride! I mean it’s only five minutes. Room service was great also, always right on time! I could go on and on about how great everything was so I’ll just say we will return again soon!

Our second time at this beautiful resort and we’ve rebooked already for next year.
We had the most amazing relaxing week. We had requested a higher floor which on arrival wasn’t what we were allocated but upon meeting ‘Biggs’ the best butler ever he quickly sorted this and had us moved the next morning. All the rooms are lovely and have fantastic views so we hadn’t asked to move but it’s this sort of service that really stands Royal plantation apart.
We were looked after so well from day 1 by our butlers Biggs and Ricky, nothing was too much trouble. The new manager Omar was also a delight, knowing all of his guests on site by name and always happy to chat. All the staff are so welcoming, happy and helpful. Also must mention Alex the entertainment guy - his voice is amazing!
We can’t wait to go back next July.
