Classical Georgian architecture, rich mahogany paneling, antique-laden rooms and manicured grounds welcome you to a place reminiscent of the grandest British manor houses. Sandals Royal Caribbean transports you to a timeless experience of impeccable service, genteel manners and effortless sophistication, all set against the vivid aquamarine majesty of the Caribbean Sea. And, when you’re ready to venture even further afield, our offshore island awaits, burgeoning with the exotic allure of the orient.
Regency Suite
Dark-wood floors, polished to a high sheen, pleasing gold-painted walls and royal purple ceilings, the piano’s gentle lilt and the remarkable sweep of arched French doors all opening out onto a terrace directly over the sea—impressive and ornate, like a grand ballroom of yesteryear, this dining room offers international fare to satiate your appetite for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The Courtyard
Impossibly romantic, this intimate restaurant curves between white columns and planters filled with lush greenery. Overhead your only ceiling is a thick canopy of vines laden with gorgeous pink and white bougainvillea blossoms, rustling delicately in the tropical night air. Feast on freshly prepared Mediterranean cuisine, grilled before your besotted eyes in the salmon-pink-tiled open kitchen, as you murmur in hushed tones to your beloved. Candlelit, wrought-iron tables for two, bougainvillea petals raining softly down and the sweet chorus of crickets calling out to one another in the night—all adds up to an unforgettable evening.
The Pavilion
Under the dark island sky filled with hundreds of glistening stars, take your seat and prepare for a new taste sensation as you try Jamaican specialties that will have your mouth watering and your palate tingling.
Royal Thai
Get ready for a once-in-a-lifetime dining experience that begins with a sea voyage (a very short one) from the mainland to our offshore island, where you’ll take your seats for dinner at our dramatic restaurant that serves up succulent Thai dishes for your culinary pleasure. Feed one another with ambrosial morsels, said to have special sensual properties, under a distinctive Thai-style roof, with only the sound of surf and the heightened beating of your hearts to accompany your meal.
Beach Grill
Whenever you’re in the mood for French fries, burgers and all of the fun comfort food you’re absolutely craving, head on down to the beachside grill, located directly on the sand, and dig in.
The Height of British Colonial Elegance
Walk beneath the soaring Georgian portico into the sumptuous lobby and enter a time when gentility reigned supreme and British splendor ruled the day. Settle into one of our cushioned, mahogany armchairs and enjoy delectable petit fours, as our longtime Bell Captain of 35 years, Mr. Bowen, resplendent in his starched white uniform, regales you with tales of the time that Queen Elizabeth graced these stately walls with her presence. A magnificent example of British Colonial charm amidst the lush splendor of tropical bounty, this richly luxurious resort perched upon the shores of the ever-glinting Caribbean Sea and conveniently located only a few miles from Montego Bay’s Sangster International Airport, allows you to put aside the impolite intrusions of everyday life. Revel in the marvelous setting, where creeper-clad buildings stand in gorgeous, tranquil gardens overlooking the Caribbean Sea and ornamental ponds complement the exquisitely manicured, statue-filled lawns, reminiscent of the best English country houses. Drop your letters in our authentic, fire-engine-red English postbox. Take high tea, complete with scones and clotted cream, in our Tea Room, each afternoon from 4:30 to 5:30. Pose for pictures in our carefully restored horse-drawn carriage, whose wheels once bobbed over London’s cobblestones. Marvel at the strutting peacocks, who have made this spot their home. Explore the innumerable, and sometimes eccentric, reminders of Great Britain’s influence upon the islands as you wander past antique lamps and buildings named after celebrated British places and palaces. All this amidst exotic tropical blooms, musical island accents and heart-stopping views of the vivid aquamarine waters ebbing and flowing to a Caribbean beat, under the glow of the Jamaican sunshine.
Secluded Shell-Shaped Beaches, Yours to Discover
Pearl-like cove beaches, crescent-shaped and lovingly caressed by crystalline waters, invite you to take sun on chaise lounges drawn right up to the water’s edge or to seek shade beneath gracious almond trees. Separated by small stone piers, complete with gazebos, designed for stolen moments just-for-two, each scallop-shaped beach promises privacy and the chance to hide away together, fanned hypnotically by the insistent sea breezes. The sea here is a revelation. Enclosed and protected by a reef that lies just offshore, waves breaking upon it with the sound of thunder in the distance, each inlet is filled with impossibly turquoise water, pure and iridescent, like undisturbed limpid pools of liquid jewels.
Impeccable British Manners—Service Redefined
Long-forgotten traditions still hold sway here. Days that herald the approach of dusk with the serving of a traditional English afternoon high tea on the terrace, set to the strains of a violinist’s serenade. Rose-petal-strewn four-poster beds, breakfast in bed, croquet on the Roehampton Lawn, a rousing game of beach cricket, an extensive library, stocked with books for your reading pleasure, and pre-dinner cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, accompanied by the tinkling melodies of our pianist, from 6:00 to 7:00 in the piano bar—get ready to experience the unhurried, genteel rhythms of a lifestyle long-forgotten in our modern, hustle-and-bustle world. Whether you’ve treated yourself royally to a British-Guild-trained butler of your own, or you’ve opted for the consistently excellent care of our highly-trained staff, you’ll soon discover a whole new level of pampering. From breakfast laid out expertly on your oceanfront patio, to drinks, served with a smile and a joyous joke, at one of our two swim-up pool bars—there’s nothing our staff won’t do to make your every dream come blissfully true.
Magical Interludes Abound
Sandals Royal Caribbean is the answer to your secret longings. No room block is larger than the wing of an English country manor, each boasting its own secluded garden. Countless gemlike spaces await, ready be discovered and claimed by the both of you. Wander aimlessly through the grounds and you’re sure to happen upon a perfect romantic nook—maybe a hammock or wicker swing slung from the sturdy branches of our mature trees, and surrounded by the wildly fragrant petals of red, purple, pink and white blooms. Perhaps the most magnificent hideaway experience of all can be found in the River Suites, a thoroughly unique private getaway, complete with Butler Service, that features your own personal entry into a lazy river that meanders gracefully into a delicious lagoon pool.
The Mystery of the Orient—Our Offshore Island
Two vacations in one await you at Sandals Royal Caribbean. Bask in the resplendent atmosphere of British Colonial majesty on the mainland and then hop aboard our bright yellow “Dragon Boat,” the Wayang Doll, for the short sea crossing to our very own version of Asian serenity beneath the tropical sun. Sandals Cay, a two-and-a-half-acre private islet that sits at the juncture where the offshore reef meets and forms the resort’s lagoon-like coves, lets you escape to another universe entirely. Relax on pristine beaches in a silence so profound that the wind song and the waves are your only soundtrack. Explore together sandy pathways cut through the mangroves. Belly up to the island’s own swim-up pool bar and imbibe the ambrosial elixir of your choice. Dine on authentic Thai delicacies at the Royal Thai, our on-island restaurant with its impressive architecture reminiscent of a Buddhist temple in Bangkok. Or truly immerse yourself in the island’s mystical power with a candlelit dinner for two in one of our thatched-roof gazebos, where you’ll feast on fare rumored to have aphrodisiac qualities, as the moonlight plays on the water and the stars dare you to find a more beautiful place.
