Examples of what a Sandals Butler can do for you:
There was a guest who requested to have breakfast on their balcony
each morning. On the last day before their departure the butler located a
ladder, climbed up to their balcony (on the third floor) and laid breakfast
out. Then called the guest and asked them to open their balcony door.
They were speechless when the saw the butler on the balcony with
breakfast elegantly arranged for them.
A guest went sailing every day, they always brought Red Stripe out with
them. Knowing that they would be out of beers soon the butler got the
rescue boat and bought an additional cooler of beers for them while they
were still sailing.
A guest had booked a candlelight dinner, however the weather did not
permit them to dine on the beach. The guest was quite disappointed
about this and wondered what they will do. The butler booked a spa
treatment and they went to the spa. While they were at the spa the butler
re-arranged their suite, elegantly arranged the table, got some bags and
covered them with sand. The butler also had some glow in the dark stars
and hung them from the ceiling, played a CD with ocean sounds and
placed palm trees around the table. When the guest returned from the spa
they could not believe that they were standing in their room. They had a
