    As a long time Sandals traveler, we keep track of the shifts of the butlers and tip the $20 or 25 per shift, because one butler will usually be primary and carry the load of your service.

      That's a good way to do it. Thanks for sharing!

    I believe you are mostly correct about upcharges on food and beverage except I know that there are some dining options where you have the option to incur an upcharge for some higher quality wines. I know that was offered at the La Toc French restaurant in St. Lucia.

    • @ACoupleTravelers
      @ACoupleTravelers  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, that is an option to splurge on high end wine but we’ve never felt the need to do that and they don’t push it!

      I've seen the "managers wine list" at both Sandals Ochi and Sandals Montego Bay, as well as Beaches Ocho Rios.
      Our trip to Montego Bay was the only time I ever felt they were pushy on it though. We were asked to buy a bottle almost every day, and long before dinner.

    Wow I didn't expect to have to tip staff? No hate it just didn't cross my mind as someone from the UK. I would only really tip if they did something exceptional, glad I saw this as I don't want to come across as rude for not tipping

    • @ACoupleTravelers
      @ACoupleTravelers  ปีที่แล้ว

      You don’t tip staff! Only butlers are if you go to the spa.

    Question about exchange policy... If you go on a shopping excursion do they accept credit cards or do they give American $ currency for change?

    • @ACoupleTravelers
      @ACoupleTravelers  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It depends if they take cards but I always see them take US currency and have change. Never had an issue.

    Last evening we booked one of the last minute discounts and our firefighter first responder discount could NOT be added according to the representative.

      King beds only and price is based on two guests. As long as two friends don’t mind sharing a bed, it’s OK!
