I should start my stating that my husband and I had high expectations of our vacation. We read the reviews of Sandals Royal Plantation and have stayed at other 5 star resorts… unfortunately this resort did not meet our expectations. The resort itself is beautiful. It is very small, however it is well appointed. The landscaping is picturesque and the... More

My husband and I enjoyed a great week at Sandals Royal Plantation from May 25 - June 1st. Our travel agent, the wonderful Amy McHugh of Dream Makers Vacation Services, booked this for us after we spent a week there last May and decided we had to return. This week was as good,if not better, than our previous week. Amy... More

It saddens me to write this review because my wife and I went to this resort on our honeymoon 5 years ago and had one of the greatest trips of our life. We decided to go back and have another amazing week in paradise. Sadly, we were very disappointed. This resort was not a Sandals back in 2008. It was... More

We regret to hear that we did not meet your expectations for service and quality during your return visit. We have many guests who feel the direct opposite and have boasted of our luxurious accommodations and stellar service. I'm surprised to hear of your conversation with one of our managers. Maintaining a high level of service provided has always been... More

This was our first visit to an all-inclusive and the Royal Plantation not only dispelled our preconceived notions about Sandals/all-inclusive resorts, but proved to be the best vacation we have ever taken. We do not like repeating trips because there is so much of the world to see, however, the Royal Plantation has so much to do and is so... More

My husband and I recently stayed at the Sandals Royal Plantation for a family destination wedding. Everyone working at the resort was more than accommodating and very friendly. The rooms were nicely decorated and the beds were comfortable. I loved being able to open the french doors to let in the ocean air everyday! While the food at the restaurants... More

We had never been to a Sandals before, and were somewhat wary of all-inclusives, but this intimate, luxurious property exceeded all our expectations and more! We went in late May, when the resort was only 65% full and our every need and want was tailored to our specifications. Our butlers were Tafari and Shelley Anne and they are magnificent, always...

This was our 3rd stay at the Royal Plantation and our 11th Sandals holiday. There had been a large staff turnover since our last trip only 18 months ago but still the same great service and fantastic food. It's a pity to hear that Peter Fraser is moving to Sandals Grenada as he is a great character and really was... More
