Sandals Royal Caribbean Resort: Hip, Hip, Hooray!

Ready to turn, "yes, ma'am," into, "yah, mon?" Welcome to the only Jamaican resort that comes with its own island. Just four miles from world-famous Montego Bay, resting on the alabaster-white sands of a pristine Caribbean shore, the couples-only Sandals Royal Caribbean Resort offers a Luxury Included(R) escape, full of elegance and Old World traditions. Just a short, shuttle ride away--or a kayak paddle if you're ambitious--the resort's private island awaits your arrival with acres of secluded, white beach to lounge on, a pool, complete with a swim-up bar, and a spicy Thai restaurant.

The main beach offers supple sands washed with gentle tides and features a number of complimentary loungers and shady palapas with plush towels for your basking comfort. Three freshwater pools at the resort, complete with whirlpools and swim-up bars, offer lovers of wave-free water a sanctuary of their own. For an additional fee, guests can rent private cabanas and spend the day being spoiled by a Cabana Concierge.

Guests of this luxury resort have seven gourmet restaurants to choose from, including the Mediterranean a la carte cuisine of Le Jardiniere. You might also want to indulge in the classic British-style teatime each afternoon, for a delightful touch of old-world charm. Nighttime activities offer an array of choices, from the on-site piano bar to talent shows and theme nights, while the daytime hours challenge guests to partake in a game of beach volleyball or squash. Schedule a scuba-diving expedition, visit The Red Lane(R) Spa for a rubdown or grab a canoe for sea-top rowing. Take an excursion to the Jamaican town of Negril, on the virginal North Coast, where you'll experience a quaint, local village. While there, you can stop off at Sandals Negril to enjoy seven miles of one of the world's most celebrated beaches.

But whatever you do, save ample time to thoroughly enjoy the hotel's outstanding rooms. The Grande Romeo & Juliet Honeymoon Private Stairway One Bedroom Crystal Lagoon Suite comes equipped with optional butler service, a whirlpool bath and a private, over-sized balcony with a stairway leading down to the Crystal Lagoon.
