Tipping the Butler ??? |
|
Staying at Sandals in one of the villas in Oct. I read on their website that tipping at the resort is not allowed except for the butler. I realize that it would depend on how much we use his service and how good he is ,but I don't have a clue what a good tip would be! any help would be appriciated. |
|
I asked this question before, and while I haven't been to the resort yet, and don't have first-hand experience, the answers I got led me to believe a $50 to $100 tip is appropriate at the end of the stay, for the 7 days we would be there. Keep in mind that there will be multiple butlers, depending upon the time of day you request the services. I did not get any answer as to whether or not they split the tip among all the butlers, or the last one who helps you out the door gets it all... Good luck on the trip, Rick | ||||||

Sorry - I'm just rereading my response... the recommendations were really $50-$150. I missed the 5 in there! Thanks, Rick | ||||||

Thanks for the info Rick! Seems a little high, but if they really do a lot for you then I guess its worth it. I've read that some people have them set up chairs on the beach with a cooler!!! | ||||||

Yes, they will set your chairs up on the beach anywhere you like with a cooler so you don't have to get up early and reserve your own. They will make dinner reservations for you as well as book any excursions you would like to do and make spa appointments. You will probably have 2 butlers--one morning and one late afternoon/evening and you can tip them at the end of your stay. We tipped each one separately the last time we saw them, and they can be different amounts, depending if one was more helpful than another. Hope this helps. | ||||||

Wow, maybe staying at the villas is a completely different experience. But when I stayed there, it didn't even occur to me to tip the butler $5, nevermind $50 to $150. They did nothing for me during my whole stay. Hardly ever even saw them at the butler's desk. | ||||||
