@polished.notperfect: What I wish I’d known before tipping our Sandals butlers. 🩵 Follow along because soon I’ll be sharing my personal travel essentials. #sandalsresorts #traveltipsandhacks #over50women #traveltips #jamaicatravel
As Americans it’s okay not to tip everywhere we go!

So our trip at St Lucia is in October and I’m confused on tipping…? When we booked our trip it told us gratuity was already included in the price we pay so can someone help me out?💀

Always tip your butlers in cash so they get 100%. Only use a credit card if you must.

How many butlers per day do you have? We reserved a butler room for a vaca next year and it will be our first time with a butler

1-we always take thank you notes. Some for the butlers, and extras in case we have cabana butlers, and other staff that go out of their way to 2-I plan tips ahead of time to make sure we have the minimum for tips. 3-skycaps, drivers, butlers, excursions, spa staff etc…. Then we take extra $ just in case. 4-yes you can pay tips at checkout, we just never do. (We have heard they prefer cash not on cc). 5-when we first meet the butlers, I will ask “when will be the last day we will see you during our stay”. When we know the last day we will see them, we can personally give them the thank you card with the tip $.

Love your advice about the note! and I would add that you can distribute your butler tips however you like, at checkout. Some butlers go above and beyond to make your experience wonderful. Don’t feel like it needs to be split evenly amongst them.

I see that recommendation 20-30 a day per butler. But how many butlers are there any day?

While tipping isn’t required, always always bring lots of cash to tip at all inclusives. Any good travel agent will tell you this. We tip everyone who provides us service. They are often very poor, they live in dorm type environments, and sometimes their family live on other islands. Even it’s just leaving $3 on the table at each meal they really need it. Most tip

We didn’t purchase butler and had THE BEST TIME! It’s not necessarily y’all.

Do you have the same butler the whole time of your stay? So if you tip at the end, the butler will still be there a week later to receive the cash? I’m thinking about shift changes and if you have a new butler.

No need for Butler. Walk around and learn the resort. Much more fun.

Each butler at the end of your stay they prefer bills no larger than a 20 because they have a hard time using them outside of the resort, usually tip out butlers 200 each but we have had one really excellent butler and 1 not that good so one got more than the other

What is considered the appropriate amount to tip your butlers at the end of the week? We are going to Royal Plantation in December.

Remember You are tipping per shift. Although we almost always have 3 butlers, they rotated and we generally had 2 per day with the other one off. I have also been told they much prefer cash to leaving it on your credit card. Crisp bills are also preferred.
