Our tips range depending on how much our butlers do for us. For example, I broke my foot at Southcoast. We only had 2 butlers there and tipped $600 for 7 nights. In St Lucia and Grenada we had 3 butlers each trip. We always try to tip close to $25-30/butler/day. 👍

What is the pool/beach chair situation like in the summer? We are trying to choose between Butler level and Club level (I like to be on the beach). Willing to upgrade to Butler and be away from the beach if it means being guaranteed a lounge chair. :) Looked empty and a non-issue in your video, though.
@PenyakTravel2 жыл бұрын
Hi Kelly!! Thanks for watching! We were there during lower occupancy. The butlers will guarantee you a space on the beach (a nice one!). They will reserve you pool or beach chairs with your name on it and a cooler full of drinks. Our next podcast episode will be “butler or no butler.” We will probably release it this week. Honestly, we love the butler service, if you haven’t had one at sandals we highly recommend it. There’s no other personal service like it at any sandals resorts.

Hey John! Thanks for checking out our channel! If you pause the video around the yellow floating rings you’ll see people in the water. It’s very swimmable and has pretty good snorkeling right off the beach! The yellow floating rings are sturdy rings grounded to the bottom of the water and you can lay on them hang out by them (great to hold your drink while your floating in the ocean!). We enjoyed the beach here (and the swim up bar in pool too! 😃). Hope this helps!

Hi Nia! That’s a good podcast episode for us to do (Grande St Lucian VS. Grenada). We’ve been to both recently and have a vlog on the Grande.

Grenada has more of a laid back feel. Hope this helps!

Other resort brands offer a butler level service and they don’t really match the personal service you’ll receive from a sandals butler. If you can swing it, it very much worth it!!

Great video! However, I was hoping for more info on COVID protocols. In particular, in the unfortunate event you *do* test positive and can not return to the states; where must you quarantine? Can you stay in your same room? Or must you go to a particular part of the hotel and remain there until you can test negative ? Can you leave your room for at least a walk on the beach? We want to book a reservation here, however it is unclear what happens in worst case scenario. I've tried researching this online, but I can't get clear answers. It seems to be very safe there in regards to Covid, but I'd be concerned about a false positive. Thank you in advance!
@PenyakTravel2 жыл бұрын
Hi Margaret, thanks for watching! In the event you test positive the day before you leave you could be moved to a different room. You can’t leave the room, you can go on the balcony. You have to quarantine for 5 days. These are United States regulations, not local Caribbean. If you do test positive, you can test again every day, if you test negative before the 5 days are up you can leave quarantine early. At the end of the 5 days, regardless if you’re still testing positive, you can return to the U.S.
