Tipping butlers at sandals.
Butlers are some of the highest paid employees on property and therefore tipping is always at the guest s discretion.
The only people allowed to accept tips are butlers and spa personnel.
Therefore when booking butler service rooms at sandals resorts you should budget anything from 50 100 a day in addition to your holiday budget.
What about cabana butlers.
It is considered standard to tip a butler who provides good service 5 percent of the room rate.
This includes both butlers assigned to you and in the case of some resorts those serving the beach or other areas the beach butlers at sandals royal plantation are especially tip worthy.
I use 50 per butler as my great service starting point and adjust from that point.
There are a lot of thought on how much you should tip your butler.
Tipping of butlers is not necessary but when good service dictates it is encouraged.
Regarding the amount of tip we tell our clients the more you use them the greater you should tip just remember that sandals butlers are the only ones on the property that will be able to accept tips besides spa personnel.
If you stay at any of the sandals or beaches resorts that offer a private cabana rental you ll be assigned a personal cabana butler for the day.
I recommend 25 to 75 per day per butler.
You can bring cash to tip them or if you wish you can have the tip billed to your room on your credit card just ask at the front desk or club sandals lounge.
I know that sandals has a general no tipping policy but the exception would be for butler service.
Sandals assigns you 2 butlers so you will be tipping two people.
Butler tips may be paid in cash directly to your butler s but most sandals and beaches guests prefer to add the desired amount of gratuity to their room bill and pay by credit card.
During your sandals vacation you ll notice that the butlers pay attention to detail in a way that guests are never left disappointed.
Your do tip your butlers.
That said how much you tip your butler is ultimately up to your discretion.

Guests making extensive use of butler services may consider a higher amount and guests that rarely interact with the butler may be comfortable with a nominal tip.
Can anyone suggest the proper tips for the butler.
Butlers can be tipped in cash or tips can be added to your bill at.
For example if you stay at a place that costs 250 per night for four nights the total room rate would be 1 000 and the butler s share would be 50.
Sandals have a strict no tipping rule in all their resorts but this does not apply to their butler service.
