Sandals Royal Caribbean Resort & Private Island
JamaicaTripper Review: What's the difference between Sandals Royal Jamaican and Sandals Montego Bay? Quite a bit. While Sandals Montego Bay boasts more of a party atmosphere, Sandals Royal Jamaican takes the more elegant, laid-back approach. In general, this property is much quieter than its cousin. What it may lack in liveliness, though, it more than makes up for in
lavishness. Small touches -- cool towels on the beach, herbal teas in
the gym, aromatic saunas, continental room service -- make this resort
styled after a Jamaican plantation truly royal. We stayed in an elegant oceanfront deluxe room with a mahogany On another visit, we came for dinner at Sandals private island restaurant, known for its Indonesian fare (which has since been changed to a Thai menu) and unbeatable night view of the city. Most recently the resort added the St. James River Suites, rooms that
open out onto the resorts lazy river. Like other Sandals, top tier
room categories offer Butler Service with your own butler assignment to
help you during your stay. Clientele: Like other Sandals resorts, Sandals Royal Caribbean is for couples only. Sandals no longer limits this to male-female couples. Good Choice If: you'd like a slightly
refined all-inclusive with a somewhat quiet atmosphere Bad Choice If: you don't want what
some feel is the Noah's Ark atmosphere of a couples-only resort |
