The Royal Plantation lives up to the hype; hands down. My wife and I are both professionals in our late 20's, US citizens, looking for a relaxation vacation and we sure did get it. We traveled through the second and third week of May 2008. The weather was overall great, with a couple of overcast days with some scattered rain... more

The stay at the Royal Plantation is definitely worth every penny. The staff is always willing to serve. I particulary enjoyed conversing with them on several ocassions. Since the Hotel does not have many rooms, it gives a real intimate feel....as if you were at home. I would definitely return. The food is like no other. Make sure to go... more

Need to relax? Check. Want to swim in crystal clear & clean waters? Check. Looking for "personal" service? Check. Massage/Spa? Check. Tennis courts...2 of them. Cozy rooms? Done. Water sports? Plenty. The hotel employees are excellent. They will all remember your name within hours. Very hospitable, friendly, courteous & of course professional. The bad: #1 - A little too quiet.... more

Well, like just about everyone else that's reviewed the RP here, we can only rave about our recent trip in late April for 7 days. We have been all over the Caribbean all-inclusives, but the RP is truly in a class by itself as an intimate, lodge-style resort. We booked a Honeymoon Oceanview Suite and room 301 became one of... more

This was a HUGE choice to make considering it was for my honeymoon. I let my "husband" choose Jamacia (wonder why?) and I was left to pick our hotel. I chose RP and we are so happy we did. On the way to the hotel we were starving so the driver took us to a place to eat for some... more

Let me start out by recognizing the staff -- everyone was courteous and they really go out of their way and try to get everything that you request for. We asked for coconut juice a few times, and one guy actually went to climb the tree to pick coconuts just for us. I couldn't have asked for more. Throughout our... more

My wife and I stayed at Royal Plantation from May 4 to May 11 on our Honeymoon. We are a young American couple in our mid 20s. We were on the Royal Plan. Before You Book: Check Royal Plantation’s website and their prices before using a travel agent or online booking service. Get the royal plan. Drinks are at least... more

This is a very nice hotel and the all-inclusive is one of the better deals I've seen in the Caribbean. That being said, I felt it did not live up to the gushing reviews on TripAdvisor. We arrived in Ocho Rios without a hitch, courtesy of the hotel. We were immediately offered champagne with sugar cane, which was quite excellent.... more

I booked the hotel directly, which with USD/GBP rate makes this very good value at the moment. We flew into Kingston and were met by the driver who had us on the way with a cold beer in under 5 mins. Check in was very quick. Room was very good. Although on the photos this hotel looks a little old... more
