Butler Service with Sandals

Imagine sitting on Seven Mile beach, book in hand, soaking in the sun as the Caribbean Sea gently laps at your toes.  Up walks Shemoi, one of the butlers at Sandals Negril, with your favorite drink and a quick reminder that you have reservations at Brava, the tapas restaurant this evening at 7:30.  You thank him and ask if he wouldn’t mind bringing by pizza from Bella Napoli around noon when your husband returns from his scuba diving adventure.  Shemoi assures you he will, and you return to your morning of bliss, sipping on your hummingbird, reading your book, relaxing by the sea.

Fast forward a few hours, a few cocktails and a lot of Caribbean sun later and you head in from the beach to get ready for dinner.  You almost forgot, it’s your anniversary!  But your butlers haven’t forgotten!  They have decorated your room with flower petals, a special anniversary message on your bed, and have even drawn a bubble bath and left champagne and chocolate chip cookies (they remember how much you loved them from the first night when you asked if they wouldn’t mind bringing more)! You and your husband enjoy the bubble bath before getting ready for dinner and at 7:25 your butler Christopher arrives to walk you to Brava.  He notices you didn’t have a chance to enjoy the champagne and cookies and says not to worry, the champagne will be chilled, and cookies will be waiting when you return from dinner!

And…when you return…the champagne is chilled, and the cookies are waiting!  You go to bed knowing that your butlers will have a chair reserved under the shade at the beach for you tomorrow…or did you tell them you wanted your favorite spot at the quiet pool tomorrow?  No worries, you can call them on the cell phone they provided you in the morning and ask where they set you up.  Either way, there will be a cooler with water, beer and your favorite sodas.  And you’ll be free to enjoy another day in paradise without a worry in the world.

How does that sound?

It sounds PERFECT to us!  As travel advisors we always recommend Sandals’ butler service to our clients.  We have used it ourselves on several occassions and describe it as a service that allows clients to truly relax on their vacation, allowing someone else to worry about the little things!  We asked clients who traveled to Sandals Negril in June 2024 to share their experience with Sandals Butler service with us and here is what they had to say:

“From the moment we arrived, our butler was there to greet us with a warm smile and a refreshing drink. The check-in process was seamless and stress-free, setting the tone for the rest of our stay. One of the biggest perks was not having to worry about standing in line for pizza or missing out on a restaurant we wanted to try. Our butler took care of all our dining reservations, ensuring we had the best tables and escorted us, ensuring we were there on time and didn’t go in circles trying to find where to go. 

It was incredibly freeing not to be the one always planning and coordinating. Our butler knew all the ins and outs of the resort and shared valuable information with us so we wouldn’t miss out on any of the amazing activities and events. Whether it was securing prime spots for beach lounging or arranging excursions, every detail was handled with care and precision.

Our butler even went the extra mile to personalize our experience. From drawing a romantic bubble bath to surprising us with our favorite snacks and drinks, every thoughtful gesture made us feel incredibly special. It allowed my partner and me to focus solely on each other and enjoy our time together to the fullest and completely unplug from the rest of the world.

Having someone else take care of the little details meant we could truly relax. We didn’t have to worry about a thing, and that peace of mind was invaluable. The butler service at Sandals is more than just a luxury; it’s a necessity for anyone looking to have a truly stress-free, romantic, and unforgettable vacation. If you’re considering it, I wholeheartedly recommend going for it—you won’t regret it, especially if you are like me and build a spreadsheet for each family vacation, plan and cook the meals and plan out for every detail and not feel like you truly experience the vacation.”

The next time you’re looking to book a Sandals vacation, give Butler service a try!  I promise you won’t regret it!
