Steve Griswold compares Sandals resorts in Jamaica, focusing on Royal Plantation in Ocho Rios. The 74-78 room property offers all-butler service and two intimate beach sections, including one tucked under mangroves for a secluded, quiet escape.
look, if you're looking for a very small intimate beach like you see in Hawaii where you see the cliffs and you're like, how do those people even get down to that beach? They walk down a lot of little rocky steps. Royal Plantation in Ocho Rios, about 74, 78 rooms, all butler. And that beach, there's two little sections to that beach. One is kind of closer to the main resort area. That's kind of where most people hang out. And then there's another one that's kind of tucked away underneath the mangroves. And we've sent clients there and they love it. They get a butler, they get their Yeti little cooler that the butler brings them full of their favorite drinks, and they just park it out there and they just spend a week. Drinking and relaxing by the beach, reading a book if that's your thing. Little quaint, little boutique kind of beach.
