Sandals Royal Plantation Ocho Rios: Jamaica Style and Luxury

Are you in need of Old World charm, luxurious pampering and something special? The couples-only, all-suite Sandals Royal Plantation Ocho Rios in Jamaica, set on a bluff 25 ft above the sea and surrounded by eight meticulously maintained acres of tropical gardens, is the answer. Two private, white-sand beaches, exchange privileges with a sister resort next door and complimentary access to a championship golf course are a few reasons why we love this luxury resort.

Guests of this resort enjoy two private-cove beaches, both featuring loungers, shady umbrellas and palapas, as well as beachfront cabanas. The resort's main freshwater pool boasts a joined Jacuzzi and offers its own set of comfy loungers and plush towels. Be sure to squeeze in a lunch break at any one of the three gourmet restaurants. The Terrace offers a feast of tasty Mediterranean fare, while Le Papillon treats your taste buds to the best of French cuisine. And if you're really looking to step it up, there's Jamaica's only caviar + champagne bar, C Bar, where you can indulge to your heart's content. The Wobbly Peacock Pub and Afternoon Tea on the Terrace offer traditional British favorites.

Catch a wave while windsurfing, take a glass-bottom boat ride or spend the day sailing, it's all included. If you yearn to explore the underwater world, schedule a scuba expedition every day, because Sandals Royal Plantation offers unlimited scuba diving to every guest. Challenge your partner to a round of billiards, day or night tennis, or see who has the best workout routine in the state-of-the-art fitness center. And don't forget there's complimentary golf at the incomparable Sandals Golf & Country Club. Afterward, schedule a visit to the resort's Red Lane(R) Spa.

A Roman tub, 24-hour room service, and full-time butler service are just a few of the available amenities for the top suites at this Jamaican wonderland. Take full advantage of your own, personal Jeeves by scheduling a candlelight dinner for two or a custom bubble bath followed by champagne and caviar.
