 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with Angela with Blissful Travel Escapes over this last year of planning our 50th Wedding anniversary has been "over the moon"!! She responds so quickly to my inquiries. We had a party of 15 with our adult children, spouses and grandkids and that is no small feat to coordinate. I will use her services again for sure!

Angela with Blissful Travel Escapes planned the most incredible trip to Curaçao, and I truly cannot recommend her enough! From the very beginning, she made the entire process completely stress-free and thought of every detail to make sure our vacation was perfect.

Her recommendations and attention to detail made all the difference. Everything from the Sandals resort, sailboat excursion, and overall experience exceeded our expectations. It was so nice to just show up, relax, and enjoy paradise knowing everything had already been taken care of.

Curaçao was absolutely beautiful, but having Angela’s expertise behind the scenes made the trip even better. I would definitely recommend using Angela with Blissful Travel Escapes for your next vacation, especially if you want a trip that feels effortless, memorable, and perfectly planned. We can’t wait for her to plan our next adventure!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the pleasure of working with Angela to arrange a Royal Caribbean sailing on Star of the Seas for a large extended family, and the experience felt seamless and thoughtfully curated from start to finish.

Angela made coordination feel effortless. With a busy schedule that makes phone calls difficult, I greatly appreciated her responsiveness via text and email. Her communication style was efficient, clear, and always timely, which made planning a large group trip surprisingly simple.

She managed every detail with care, from securing our reservations to thoughtfully arranging our staterooms so our group was conveniently located on the same floor and near one another. Dining coordination was handled just as smoothly, ensuring our family could share meals together without stress or confusion.

What truly sets Angela apart is her attentiveness and precision. Her reminders were always well-timed, her follow-through impeccable, and she frequently stepped in to communicate directly with family members when needed, removing me entirely as the intermediary.

Working with Angela felt like having a dedicated luxury travel concierge—proactive, composed, and deeply detail-oriented. I have already recommended her to several family members, and plan to have her help plan our next family cruise for 2027 soon.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've booked 2 Disney cruises with Blissful Travel Escapes and both experiences were amazing! It was an extremely easy and stress free process. Our agent Natalie was very prompt in answering any questions I had and guiding me through the entire trip with anything I needed. I'm already booked for another cruise in September! 10/10 would recommend booking with them.

Resort FAQs

Is Sandals Royal Plantation adults-only?

Yes, like all Sandals Resorts, this is an exclusively couples-only, adults-only destination designed for romance.

What is the “All-Butler” experience?

Unlike other resorts where butlers are an upgrade, at Royal Plantation, every guest receives the highest level of service to handle everything from unpacking your bags to reserving your poolside cabana.

Do I have access to other resorts?

Absolutely. Guests have full access to the amenities, 16 restaurants, and 11 bars at the neighboring Sandals Ochi via a complimentary shuttle.

What is the difference between Sandals Ochi and Royal Plantation?

The primary difference is the atmosphere and exclusivity. Sandals Royal Plantation is a quiet, boutique-style resort with only 74 suites—all of which include butler service. In contrast, Sandals Ochi is the largest Sandals resort, featuring 519 rooms, a high-energy social scene, and a trendy beach club. While Royal Plantation offers intimacy and “old-world” elegance, Ochi offers variety and nightlife.
+2

Expert Tip: Guests at Royal Plantation have full exchange privileges at Ochi, meaning you can enjoy the quiet of your boutique suite and take a 5-minute shuttle to Ochi for its 16 restaurants and speakeasy.

What is the most highly rated Sandals Resort?

As of 2026, Sandals Grande St. Lucian consistently ranks as the #1 rated Sandals Resort due to its stunning peninsula location, calm waters, and 360-degree ocean views. However, for those seeking the highest level of service, Sandals Royal Plantation often holds the top spot for guest satisfaction thanks to its 100% all-butler, all-suite configuration.

How is the beach at Sandals Royal Plantation?

The beach at Sandals Royal Plantation consists of two private, white-sand coves tucked into a coral bluff. Because it is a boutique resort, the beach is exceptionally quiet and never feels crowded. One cove is dedicated to relaxation and sunbathing, while the other serves as the hub for included water sports like kayaking and snorkeling.

Where is Sandals Royal Plantation?

Sandals Royal Plantation is located in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. It is approximately 90 minutes from Sangster International Airport (MBJ) in Montego Bay and just 15 minutes from the smaller Ian Fleming International Airport (OCJ). The resort is perched on a bluff overlooking the Caribbean Sea, just minutes from the famous Dunn’s River Falls.

Can you walk from Sandals Royal Plantation to Sandals Ochi?

While the resorts are essentially neighbors, walking is not recommended. There is a busy public road with no sidewalk between the two properties. Sandals provides a complimentary, frequent shuttle (the “Hop”) that takes about 2-5 minutes to transport guests between the two resorts.

What is the most inexpensive Sandals Resort?

Sandals Ochi in Jamaica is typically the most inexpensive Sandals Resort, frequently offering the lowest entry-level rates in the entire portfolio. Other great value options often include Sandals Negril and Sandals Regency La Toc in St. Lucia.
