What can we say about Sandals Royal Plantation, aka our home away from home? This place is the best kept secret of the Sandals resort family. It is a small, step filled resort on a hillside that boasts beautiful beach views from what I believe is almost every room and sunsets that will take your breath away. The team that operates this gem of a resort is what makes absolutely all the difference. Every single person encountered is absolutely wonderful, kind, and make you feel special. I will be listing some but I am sure I may forget some, and for that I hope I am forgiven. As you may or may not know, this resort is a butler only resort. We had the wonderful experience of having the dream team combo of Bebeato & Marvin. Just the two kindest, easiest going and sweetest humans. Nothing asked is ever a problem and everything was always delivered with a smile. From the moment they walked us into our awesome room with an AWESOME view, with sweet anniversary greetings, to the moment they had to sadly evict us. Marlene made sure our room was always clean and turned down by the time we returned. We were so glad we got to at least greet her on our last day. In terms of food - this place is top notch. I am unsure how many chefs are around that make the culinary magic of this place, but every meal was divine and the service that goes along with it is second to none. We had the wonderful experience of being served by Sherika at the Royal Grille on our last day (because we're spoiled by our butler team who brought us food daily at the beach or to our room), and Deaundre at the Terrace. They made sure every detail and ask was delivered on and then some! The beach butler team made up of the amazing trio that is Daniello, Trevardo and Romaine are simply the best! Daniello even treated us to a sweet surprise to go along with our drinks on our anniversary :) These guys work hard under the Jamaican sun to ensure we all keep our cups filled with a cool beverage. Not far from the superior food team service, then comes our wonderful bar team. There are not enough words to describe the smiles and fabulous drinks created by the amazing Crocodile, Garnett! But let us of course do a shout out for the amazing Junior & Jahvaine who also ensure your drink is never empty at the bar. And if you choose to sit outside to watch the stars or watch the evening entertainment, the wonderful Treselle is there taking care of you as well. Which transitions us into the unmatched entertainment team. We LOVE the SRP Entertainment team. This was our first time meeting Marvin and Nataki and we look forward to getting to know them better in future stays. They ensured that we knew what guaranteed line ups we could expect and even prepared us for our New Year's return :) But I can't keep going without letting you know how the mighty King Alex has stolen our hearts! He keeps us all super entertained, has a gorgeous singing voice and is just an overall gem! Brandon has the patience of a saint a
