Sandals Royal Caribbean Resort And Private Island

An introduction to Sandals Royal Caribbean Resort And Private Island

The Sandals slogan 'Love is all you need. Everything else is included' couldn't be more apt at the Royal Caribbean. Not only is it backed by a forest of palm trees, it borders a cove of pure-white sand that's for the sole use of guests. And just across the turquoise seas is Sandals Cay – the resort's private island. Ringed by a beautiful beach dotted with four-poster cabanas, couples are whisked over by dragon boat. There's not much here – a pool with swim-up bar and the gourmet Royal Thai Restaurant. But that's the idea. It's ultra-romantic. You can hide away in the resort's grounds just as easily. There are acres of tropical gardens to explore, filled with manicured lawns, white pavilions and roaming peacocks. And this is also where you'll find the Royal Caribbean's five swimming pools with whirlpool tubs. All individually designed, they're surrounded by tranquil sun terraces with cushioned sun loungers and parasols. The Royal Caribbean itself is just as impressive. With its classic Georgian architecture and grand driveway, it exudes old-world splendour. And it's the same throughout the resort. The elegant lobby sets the scene with mahogany panelling, Regency-style chairs and chandeliers. Likewise, the spacious bedrooms come with solid wood king-size beds and polished floors. And if you're celebrating something special, you can upgrade to a Royal Swim-up River Suite which opens out onto the lazy river and come with extras like four-poster beds, whirlpool baths and butler service. You'll find the same attention to detail in the five restaurants. With its arched French doors, gold decor and sea-view terrace, the Regency Suite is like a grand ballroom. It serves top-notch international cuisine, too. And the Mediterranean-inspired Le Jardinier scores points for its intimate setting. Hidden in sun-dappled gardens, its wrought-iron tables and bougainvillea-wrapped pergola create the most romantic setting. You'll also find five laid-back bars dotted around the resort including a piano and a cocktail bar. Factor in impeccable service, evening entertainment and first class facilities, including a luxurious Red Lane (R) Spa and watersports program. You really can escape from the world here!

This resort has to be one of the best you can experience. Set in acres of manicured gardens tended by very friendly uniformed staff, the crystal clear, deep azure sea is only yards away. Although fully occupied, the resort goes to great lengths to... more on this review
