Sandals - Royal Plantation (SRP) in Ocho Rios, Jamaica December 4th - December 8th, 2022 (split stay with SRC) -For reference this was our first time at SRP, 4th time to Jamaica, and our 7th Sandals trip. Arrival day. Airport experience- We live in SoIL and typically fly out of St. Louis. We arrived at the Lambert International airport at 3:40AM for our 5:10AM flight to Orlando. We flew Southwest which required us to either use a kiosk or check-in at their desk. We walked right to a kiosk where we were able to obtain our boarding passes. We do Not check bags. We have Global Entry, which comes with TSA Pre✔️ There was no line for this. We landed in Orlando about half an hour early. Take off was a few minutes late, but we arrived to MBJ on time. We did Not have Club Mobay this trip and I was significantly stressed over it, as we've always had it and it was a Sunday arrival. I attempted to book it months ago and it was already sold out. We turned the corner to see that the lines were Not bad. One agent directed us to one line where another turned all of us around. Minus that minor hiccup, the customs and immigration was quick (<10min) and I would say Club Mobay wasn't "needed". However, I will Always recommend it and will be booking it for our future trips. I'd rather have it and not need it vs need it and be stuck in the hot airport without. We were in the Sandals lounge quickly, bags tagged, and walking to our shuttle in roughly 10min. Based on prior guests' experiences we chose to take the shared transfer provided by Sandals. We were with one other couple in a smaller van. Driver was courteous, ride was 90min, A/C worked great, and we would recommend and take the shared transfer again. SRP arrival- We arrived to SRP around 2:30PM where staff came out of the woodwork for us to graciously greet our transfer. We were taken into the lobby after identifying our bags and brought yummy drinks while we waited on our butler. We booked our complimentary couple's massage as a member of the spa staff was in the lobby. Based on prior guests' recommendations I requested Gladstone and Sherril, which is who were assigned. (You may request a butler team and/or room prior to your stay via butler preferences, when making your booking, or by calling Sandals. This is Only a request, but doesn't hurt to ask.) I was surprising Cara with a room upgrade to the villa. I told our butler representative via email prior to arrival this was a surprise. It was Not relayed, but Gladstone didn't say anything and I was able to pull him to the side before going to the room. It was all good, but keep this in mind if you're pulling off a surprise. He actually said "I know you requested 314, so we'll be moving you in the morning when the guests checkout." which was perfect because we didn't completely unpack and we knew the repack in the morning. Gladstone showed us to our room. We were in the Marquis GO category, 214. (for our first night only, as I was able to sn
