On the untouched South Coast of Jamaica, Sandals Whitehouse European Village & Spa is a 50-acre seaside fantasy within a 500-acre reserve. In an impressive European village, you can stroll an expansive Italian piazza reminiscent of St. Mark's square in Venice... and be surrounded by the sophistication of France, the passion of Italy, and the charm of Holland with restaurants, duty free shops, and magnificent formal gardens bordering an endless stretch of pristine beach.
Whitehouse is as alluring as it is rich in the history, distinctive culture and creative fare that makes Jamaica's south coast the next hit vacation spot. Home to the newest 360 room Sandals Whitehouse resort, Whitehouse is a flashback to Jamaica's colonial past, as it is the setting for what's hot in Caribbean vacation getaways.
In a class by itself, Sandals Whitehouse provides a noble escape in a European-style village setting. This resort is truly a Jewel in the South, and an ideal location for adventure travelers and those who want to just relax.
Enjoy Europe's Unique Flavors Beneath the Caribbean Sky
Stroll through an Italian piazza as you explore three distinct European villages—French, Italian and Dutch—that have been created solely for your pleasure with fine dining, duty free shops and formal gardens. Revel in the delicate style of French architecture as you sample Italian pizza and decide whether to indulge in some authentic Dutch chocolate before heading back out to take a dip in the unmatched turquoise waters of the Caribbean. Here there are absolutely no borders to cross and no boundaries to overcome—there are no limits to your joy and our commitment to satisfy your heart’s every desire. |
Resort Highlights

Property amenities
Overlooking a half-mile of white-sand beach near the town of Whitehouse, this 50-acre resort lies within a 500-acre natural reserve on the still unspoilt southwest shore of Jamaica. It features 360 guestrooms and suites distributed among three themed villages (French, Dutch, and Italian) and surrounded by landscaped grounds. The resort has four freshwater pools, including a zero-entry pool, three spa tubs, and a European-style spa with a full menu of treatments and therapies (extra fees) offered in 10 treatment rooms and a hydrotherapy room. Use of spa amenities such as saunas, steam rooms, lockers, and the fitness room is complimentary. Seven restaurants and six bars offer a smorgasbord of international cuisines and a retail arcade houses a gift shop, clothing store, and duty-free jewelry store.
Entertainment
Daily activities and nightly entertainment are designed to keep things busy almost around the clock. Entertainment options include a welcome party, nightly shows, nightly disco, karaoke, talent shows, piano sing-a-longs, guest and staff talent shows, beach parties, games and slot machines. The majority of amenities, activities, and gratuities at this resort are included in the room rate; guests will not be charged extra for the majority of amenities and activities. |

Dining
Breakfast is either a la carte or buffet (the latter has an enormous display of options as well as custom-made items). For lunch there are several options, including a buffet, a pizzeria, a southwestern restaurant, or the grill/restaurant in the French and Dutch villages. At night there are usually four or five options for dinner: Italian, Asian, Caribbean, international and southwestern. All are very good, and the Asian and Caribbean restaurants are exceptional.
Making all of the restaurants even better is the service; it is friendly, prompt and accurate (somewhat unusual for the Caribbean). Between meals, the pastries and hot beverages from the Cafe de Paris are very popular. The area outside the cafe is also the spot for pre-dinner music from a variety of performers. The resort offers special dinners, such as barbecues, several nights a week.

Hi, I am looking into visiting Jamaica. What are the main differences between Riu Negril and Riu Palace Tropical?
|
|
|
|
|
| Riu Palace Tropical Bay is more upscale than Riu Negril. It has larger, more recently upgraded rooms, slightly more upscale food, and a nicer lobby. Guests staying at Riu Palace Tropical Bay can use the facilities at Riu Negril, but not vice-versa. We'll be glad to assist you in getting rates for both properties (and others we like in Negril). |
