Heading for RP in December for a wedding.

The groom and myself are avid fishermen, golfers, and well ...outdoor anything for that matter.

Anyone have any info about the fishing such as seasons, types (head boats?, charters?, flyfishing?), species or any experiences with offshore in Jamaica?

I know we get free golf thru the resort but is there other courses we should look into?

I've only got him for a day or so before he's swept into the cauldron of the wedding so any info you've offer is greatly appreciated!

Regarding the golf - green fees are free, but a cart is $40, and the (mandatory) caddie is $17 plus tip. Other courses are further away. My husband really likes White Witch in Montego Bay and also Cinammon Hills there, He always plays the Sandals course at least twice in a week and brings his own clubs.

I haven't checked the details lately on fishing, but the concierge staff can help you set this up.

Weddings at Royal Plantation are beautiful. We have seen several. I am sure you will all enjoy your stay. This is our favorite resort, so I look forward to hearing your thoughts upon your return.

HI, This is our 5th trip to a Sandals Own Property in Ocho Rios but our first trip to The Royal Plantation. We are spending the American Thanks Giving Week End at the RP.

My husband loves the Sandals Golf Course. It is not the best course in the world but very nice and he never has a complaint. Nice long fairways and the course can be a bit of a challenge.

The fishing is around 400.00 US for either the morning or the afternoon most people get a couple of people together to split the price.

Destination Weddings are always beautiful, have a great time.

My husband and I have spent the past 2 xmas's at RP. Obviously we love RP and will be going back again this xmas and new years holiday (12/26-1/2)

Last year my husband and I chartered a fishing boat through the RP. The cost was $500.00 US. As the other post stated,you can get more people to go to split the costs. My husband caught a Dolphin (mahi mahi). The RP Chef will gladly cook up whatever you catch for dinner, or you can choose through the boat captain to have you catch mounted. This is quite pricy though, so we opted to enjoy our catch for dinner, and it was simply delicious!!!

Enjoy the RP! It is a fabulous place and Good luck and congrats on your upcoming nuptials
