I am in my 6th day of a 7 day stay at Royal Plantation. Sad that it is coming to an end.

The resort is unique in its historical ambience, intimate size and laid back feel. It is a special place indeed. The property itself is immaculate with gorgeous garden spaces and a charming central lobby building leading onto a massive terrace patio with sweeping ocean views.

The food here is exceptional. The only thing more impressive than the food were the people. Every guest here is provided a butler (2 actually). We found Adrian and Ashpole to be extremely attentive, informative and funny ! Great guys. In fact every member of the team at Royal Plantation could not have been nicer. We felt pretty special here which is a rare feeling in today s broader hospitality industry. A special shout out to Adrian at the beach bar. Adrian went out of his way to make us feel welcome and he never let our drinks go empty. A funnier, cooler guy I have never met. I will miss practicing my Patois on Adrian ! I will also miss playing Shock Box at the beach bar with Romane.

The only negative comment I would make about the resort relates to the room fixtures and furnishings. A bit outdated and starting to show age. The rooms are amazing in terms of views and cleanliness but a refurb is needed here and I suspect the management knows that. Not a 5 Star room. But all other aspects of this resort were 5 Star or better in my opinion.

I am planning to return to Royal Plantation in 2020. Sandals Grande Saint Lucian for us next year !
