Bringing a small gift is a great idea
What about renting a cabana with a butler? Can you tip them and should you do that at checkout also?
In my humble opinion it is a little more confusing than the video describes but then again it can't be. We are going on three Sandals trips this year which will be our 17th, 18th & 19th Sandals vacations. We are not Butler people but we have had Butlers the past couple of times, it is growing on us for sure and 2 of our 3 trips this year will include Butlers. On our last trip which was 14 nights I kept a daily log as to who took care of us because we had two primary butlers and a third to handle days off for the other two. It was at Sandals Grande St. Lucian and it included our 2nd Free Week. Let me say that the Butlers were AMAZING and were worth every penny and then some. After keeping my log and distributing 3 separate envelopes I learned that the tips are pooled by the team. We tipped BIG so my team was VERY HAPPY. So my advice is ask them at the beginning if the tips are pooled because it will relieve a lot of the stress that I felt to keep track of who did what & when. BE SAFE & HEALTHY ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love your videos! Informative and fun 😁 I'm ready for vacation today!!! 😆
Thank you for answering this question I’ve been worried about as a 19 year old that has made it well enough to afford a butler suite. looking forward too it in September!!!
So what’s considered “big” for butlers for over the water bungalows? I want to make sure we tip appropriately.
when you say tipping others is forbidden, who does that include? is tipping at the restaurants or room service expected?
I am a Club Sandals Concierge. If you rent a Cabana at Sandals Negril, it is expected that the Cabana Butler/Server is tipped.
So is it 20$ per day per butler? Our last trip we had 3 butlers that we saw equally everyday.
Solid advice. These are hardworking people with families certainly rigs true.
I think the only other modification would be the additional gift idea. Ultimately cash is best in the strange economic times due to the pandemic.
If you have space for a gift consider other options to contribute towards the "Pack for a Purpose" program which brings much needed supplies to local island communities. The Sandals Foundation and the resorts will assist in the redistribution.
Always tip in cash. If you tip with a credit card, they butlers are taxed on that amount and they get less money.
we were told not to tip our butler ??? we usually tip but was told at our sandals resort not to and would be rejected
If I am wanting to play a round of golf while we are at Sandals Ochi, is this something I should schedule ahead of our arrival or is this something our butler can get scheduled when we arrive? What's the best way to do this?

Thank you for the great video! is the 20.00 or so per day per person or per couple?
Great video. Informative. Thumbs up
What about the wedding coordinator on site. We chose to Re-tie the knot for our 25th anniversary. We are doing the ceremony with the cocktail reception, honeymoon breakfast and dinner; however it is just us two. No guests. What is the tipping policy for the wedding planner, officiant, photographer and server?
What sort of trinkets, or gifts 🎁 can we bring coming from California for our butlers? I’m drawing a blank.
Sandals has a strict no tipping policy so I'm not sure where this information is coming from.
In 2019 we stayed at the Royal Barbados it is was our third time at a Sandals but the first time having Butlers. We were not sure if it was the right choice at first but we really ended up enjoying the experience. We had 3 Butlers over the week and all went above the call. Now we only book Butler rooms.
This is one of the more informative videos on a confusing all-inclusive subject. We tip each butler $25 per day for each day they work, you will typically have two butlers each day. If anyone does something above and beyond we recognize that with a little extra at the end. We put the money, with a thank you note, in an envelope and give it to each butler the last time we see them. The butlers usually service 6 – 8 rooms at a time so keep that in mind when asking them for something.
We tip our butler at Sandals Bahamas very good at the end of our stay. Will only book a butler suite.
How about tipping your house keepers
$20 a day is not enough. Not sure where you got that from.
I read somewhere else that tipping for others besides butlers is allowed at the Barbados resorts by law, but discouraged by Sandals. What are your thoughts on this, and will tipping bothers result in better service?
