One of the most exclusive resorts in Jamaica, indeed at top Caribbean luxury resort has to be the adult only resort the Royal Plantation in Ocho Rios Jamaica.



Beachfront with two powder white sand beaches, offers ocean view dining, a magnificent spa, and a great championship golf course.

It is available as a room only deal or all inclusive in which case everything including golf is covered, and this is very good value especially if your idea of paradise is to play golf every day.

The Royal Plantation is a member of the Leading Small Hotels of the World and has only 74 beautifully laid out and equipped suites, all with stunning views of the Caribbean.

It's all very well to describe the facilities available in this exclusive resort, but as you will understand, it is what actually happens, how you were made to feel, what the reality will be like that makes any luxury resort into a great resort, and the Royal Plantation is no exception.

You can expect a complimentary car for the ninety minute journey from the airport, and a complimentary beer if it isn't just waiting for you on arrival. You will be able to watch the less privileged fight for places on their buses, and realize immediately you are going to be cosseted. The air conditioned car will smoothly take you to the Royal Plantation, and from the moment you walk in the door you will just know this is one very exclusive resort, and you can begin the process of being cosseted and generally unwinding from the stresses of the world outside.

Apart from the champagne and ice cool towels, the first thing you will notice is it is beautifully cool in the hotel, and this will also be the case in your suite, which you will be escorted to after a familiarization tour of the grounds, which will immediately impress you. There is a lot of sense in opting for what they call the Royal Plan, which is the all inclusive, because if you look at the costs of the individual meals and drinks, you will spend around USD 375 a day on three meals, and that doesn't count drinks at around USD10, and then there is tax to pay as well.

A one bedroom honeymoon suite will be more than adequate for any couple, it even has two bathrooms, one with rain shower and Jacuzzi, and a superb uninterrupted view of the sea from the roomy balcony.

Everything about the Royal Plantation screams exclusive and luxury, from the high class balcony breakfasts, to the drinks bar stocked with what you have selected, to the toiletries.

Add to this the breakfasts at the Grille, the two beaches always immaculate, with staff to set up chairs and umbrellas, so no early rising to reserve a seat.

Seat availability in every restaurant, with menus in all three restaurants both mouthwatering, but also and importantly always having something you really fancy.

Finally bear in mind that the Royal Plantation is not a part all night hotel, this is a relaxing, soothing, unwinding exclusive luxury resort, possibly almost the best in the Caribbean. Quality like this costs but you'll have a glorious pampered time at Ocho Rios Jamaica.
