Restaurants at Sandals Royal Caribbean that require reservation

Sandals usually has a few restaurants that require reservations, and making them should be a top priority for you. As soon as you arrive at the resort, make sure to visit the front desk (or call them) to set up a time for these restaurants. If you’re staying in a Butler Elite Suite, you can also ask your butler to handle this for you, or you can contact Famvia so we can assist you.

There are three restaurants at Sandals Royal Caribbean that require a reservation:

  • Bombay
  • Royal Thai
  • Le Jardinier

At Sandals Royal Caribbean, you’ll find plenty of options, whether you’re in the mood for a delicious Indian dish at Bombay, fresh pasta at La Tavola, or even a romantic dinner at the French restaurant Le Jardinier.

Just a heads-up: if you have any allergies, be sure to inform the front desk upon arrival so meals can be prepared with your health in mind.

Are there Quick-service restaurants at Sandals Royal Caribbean?

The main quick-service option is actually one of the best restaurants at Sandals Royal Caribbean: the Jerk Shack. This is a classic spot at Sandals, especially for lunch, so be sure to stop by and try the jerk chicken. You can also visit Bella Napoli Pizzeria to sit down and enjoy a delicious slice of pizza, or grab one to go and head to the swimming pool.

What do you wear to dinner in Sandals Royal Caribbean?

Many guests often wonder what to wear for dinner. ‘Do I need to dress up? Should I bring a fancy dress or the tuxedo I wore to my high school prom?’ Relax, friends. As of now, not a single restaurant in Sandals Royal Bahamian requires Resort Evening Attire.

Every restaurant follows a Resort Casual dress code, so you can enjoy your meal in shorts and a T-shirt. Just a heads up: the dress code might change from time to time without prior notice, so it’s always a good idea to pack something a bit fancier just in case.

Bombay is widely considered one of the best restaurants at Sandals, especially for fans of spicy food. Popular dishes include the lamb chop starter and the Chicken Dhaba Curry. Many guests online agree that it’s among the top dining spots on the property, alongside Royal Thai. By the way, Bombay’s reputation extends beyond Sandals Royal Caribbean - the Bombay locations at Sandals Barbados and Sandals Grande St. Lucia are also ranked among the best on those properties. What have we learned? If there’s a Bombay, make a reservation and go!

Royal Thai

In the mood for some authentic Thai dishes? How about authentic Thai dishes while you enjoy the private island in Sandals Royal Caribbean? You’re in the right place. Royal Thai is a one-of-a-kind restaurant that, as far as I know, is exclusive to Sandals Royal Caribbean, offering unique dishes you don’t typically find at other Sandals resorts. Some fantastic options include the stir-fried rice noodles and the dry spiced red curry. Be sure to try the coconut crème brûlée as well. The atmosphere is wonderful, with open-air dining surrounded by the ocean.

The Jerk Shack

The Jerk Shack is one of the most classic restaurants at Sandals, and exists in so many properties that I’ve lost count. Sandals Royal Caribbean has two top tier restaurants - Royal Thai and Bombay - and a lot of dining options that I’d consider just average. I’d put The Jerk Shack above average, and it’s why it gets the bronze medal at Sandals Royal Caribbean. This is a quick service restaurant that allows you to get your favorite dish and head to the pool or the beach without wasting a lot of time. At this resort, The Jerk Shack is located right in the middle of the private island, which gives it a bit of extra charm.
