"A small, romantic resort that once drew Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller, the Jamaica Inn is about quiet luxury." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Thoroughly spruced up in 2007, the 47 suites are a blend of Indonesian, colonial, and retro Jamaican décor, but remain refreshingly unplugged, with no TV’s to shatter the peace." Full review
Rough Guide "The most attractive (and expensive) hotel in Ochi, tasteful and elegant, with a gorgeous private beach, pool and sophisticated oceanfront spa."
Star Service "This property is one of the few remaining traditional beach hotels, but is quickly fading into oblivion in the minds of anxious vacationers." Full review

Complimentary cocktails are served once daily to guests on the beach, and staffers patrol the beach all day to serve other refreshments upon request.

The Telegraph8.0
"Sandals Royal Plantation is at the pinnacle of the all-inclusive experience, with butler service, premium drinks and elegant dining in an old-plantation atmosphere." Full review
Frommer's "It's styled after a European mansion, complete with peacocks strutting around the garden fountains and a terrace overlooking the pool. Every suite has an ocean view, a Caribbean Colonial look." Full review
