Sandals Royal Plantation

Ocho Rios


From the neoclassical lobby decked in Victorian furnishings to the orchids that grace the garden areas to the pillow menu for your room, the all-inclusive Royal Plantation goes the extra mile. All rooms face the sea and feature marble bathrooms, and there are three gourmet restaurants, notably Le Papillon, an intimate French offering with a smart dress code. An array of water sports is on offer, as well as a spa.
