This all-suite hideaway offers the sporting and dining facilities of a world-class resort alongside the intimacy and service levels of a private villa. Originally built fifty-years ago in the classic Caribbean style, it was given an extensive make-over in 2005 and now boasts standards good enough to merit ‘Leading Small Hotel of the World’ status.

The resort enjoys a tranquil beachfront setting on ‘The Ocho Rios Riviera’, all of its 74-suites blessed with panoramic views over the Caribbean Sea. Four-poster beds, custom-crafted mahogany furnishings and fine Italian bed linens will give you a good idea of what to expect, although a collection of one and two-bedroom ‘speciality’ suites offer additional treats like oversized balconies and tumbled marble bathrooms. For the ultimate in self-indulgence, however, little beats ‘The Roman Spa’ of the honeymoon suite - it features a marble bar, ‘Cleopatra’ chaise longue, large Jacuzzi tub and wall-to-wall French windows opening out onto the Caribbean Sea. Standard comforts throughout include individually-controlled air conditioning, sitting and dining areas with in-room bars, as well as satellite TVs, VCRs and CD players.

Equally high on the list of priorities here is the cuisine, the European-trained chefs showing off their talents in three different venues. The Bayside is an alfresco restaurant offering classic or contemporary à la carte cuisine overlooking the Caribbean Sea, the Royal Café on the Beach serves anything from lunchtime grills to candlelit dinners, whilst
Le Papillon is for multi-course gourmet dinners accompanied by fine wines. The Caviar & Champagne bar is Jamaica’s
first and only.

And whilst the swimming pool, water sports, tennis courts and fitness centre might all be expected, the Red Lane Spa and complimentary play on the elite 18-hole golf course both come as a pleasant surprise. Even beach life at Royal Plantation is a delight, the ‘Beach Butler Service’ ensuring your next Caribbean cocktail or slice of papaya are never far away.
