Hi everyone, Here is the summary about Jamaica! When I come back from out
end of April trip I will post again and let you all know how it went for us.
Thank you all for you information. If anyone else has anything else to say
just send it my way I would love to here it. Linda



I was just at the Sandals in St. Lucia (the Regency).  I e-mailed them in
advance to let them know of my dietary issues.  The chef called me when I
got there and while they were very knowledgeable of what was in each dish,
they did not offer to make substitutions.  The good news was that I did not
get sick, but many of the restaurants would only have one or two of 5
entrees that were gluten free, so I ended up eating Mahi Mahi for several
nights in a row.  There are still a fair amount of foods to choose from, in
the morning they have fresh fruit, an omelet station, cheese.  I am sure
that you will manage fine, however it was not the same kind of experience
that I have had on Princess cruise lines where they will adjust recipes to
accommodate you, at Sandals it seems that a lot of the food is already prepared.

 
Though I've never been there, I would suggest you contact the resort ASAP
and tell them about your food issues.  Then, as soon as you arrive at the
resort, ask to speak to the chef.
I travel quite a bit and found that this is the best way to avoid problems.  


Went to Beaches and it was fine--they accommodated the diet very well.  RC
 

 
I would contact the General MGr of the hotel itself and also ask for the
executive chef (or whoever is in charge of all the restaurants in the
resort.  When you get there always meet with the person you spoke with
(sometimes they are off depending the day you arrive, but if you speak to
them they will advise everyone, but I always touch base with them the first
day when I get there. I haven't had anyone stay at the royal plantation, but
most decent places are more than accommodating.  
If they have any buffets, the person in charge that day of it will walk you
through and tell you exactly what you can and cannot have.  
Important tip of mine (EGGS, a lot of people do not realize when you go to
the omelet station for example.  They like to try to use the bags of eggs
(stay away) always just tell them you want fresh eggs.
A lot of those mixes with the eggs have some kind of flour in them.  


We went to the Beaches--Sandy Bay resort in Jamaica which is the same
company. They were WONDERFUL in the making food for my daughter. The chef
came to her before every meal & asked what she would like to eat &amp; made it.
When they had the wrong hot dogs they drove to town to get her a brand she
could eat. They were so sweet and accommodating. I did bring some food in
that I figured would be hard for them to do--waffle mix, maple syrup, etc.
