5* Royal Plantation Ocho Rios
Description / Location
The Royal Plantation only accepts guests 18 and older, as singles, couples, and groups. The hotel replicates the British colonial grandeur that once dominated Jamaica, also offering 21st-century conveniences. The grand ambience begins at a formal fountain garden outside the entrance and continues through an orchid-festooned lobby featuring a green-and-white-checkered marble floor. The resort's ocean frontage includes twin beaches separated by a dock and furnished with lounge chairs and umbrellas. Complimentary transfers are available from Sangster International Airport to the hotel. On site, one beach includes a café/bar, and sunbathers there need only stick a flag in the sand to summon food-and-drink service. Shaded by almond trees, the other beach features water sports. Located on a terrace outside the lobby, a pool, sundeck, and two-level spa spacious enough for 24 provide panoramic Caribbean views. As part of the Royal plan, guests are transported to Jamaica's signature Dunn's River Falls for a tour. Guests who book under the Royal Plan also have full, complimentary access to the facilities and entertainment of Sandals and Beaches properties within the Ocho Rios area (includes meals). The Royal Plantation concierge can make dining, etc. arrangements for guests upon request, and, upon confirmation of plans, guests will be given an access card for the specific Sandals/Beaches hotel of their choosing.
