Sandals Royal Caribbean

Set in Montego Bay, Jamaica, Sandals Royal Caribbean Resort & Private Island offers a unique blend of British heritage and exotic Balinese luxury. This 5-star, adults-only, all-inclusive resort is famous for its Georgian-style Great House, manicured gardens, roaming peacocks, and Jamaica’s only private offshore island—just a short boat ride from the main resort.

The resort features a total of 227 rooms and suites, nine gourmet restaurants, six bars, and three pools, all designed to provide a sophisticated yet laid-back atmosphere.
