Sandals Resorts Room Categories: Luxury vs Club vs Butler

You’ve got your heart set on a romantic Sandals all-inclusive holiday in the Caribbean, but just can’t seem to decide on a room category. You are not alone!

With so many wonderful suites to choose from, sprinkled on islands throughout the Caribbean, it's not easy to choose the right one! To make things easier, we’ve compiled a list of Sandals room categories which can help you find the perfect luxury accommodation.

So, whether you’re looking for a tropical, clifftop villa with amazing ocean views, a swim-up suite, or even an Over-The-Water Butler Villa with its own infinity pool, Sandals has you covered!

All rooms and suites at Sandals are divided into three room categories: Sandals Luxury, Club Level, and Butler Elite Level. In short, Sandals Luxury are Sandals' entry-level rooms, Club Level rooms offer room service and Butler Elite suites come with personalised butler service.

The more private and luxurious Butler Elite suites are referred to as Love Nest Suites®. Besides being more luxurious, expect Love Nest Suites® to have the same amenities as the other Butler Elite suites.

The different room categories at Sandals:

Sandals Luxury

The Luxury category appeals to many guests because it makes it possible to enjoy all the inclusions Sandals is known for, without spending more than necessary. This category is ideal for couples that plan to spend most of their time outside of their suite. In the Luxury level suites at Sandals, romance meets relaxation in the best way possible.

Luxury Level rooms include free to use minibar with juice, soda, water, Robert Mondavi Twin Oaks® wine, and local beer replenished upon request.

Did you know? All Sandals Resorts have water filtration plants on property, which makes the water in your room perfectly safe to drink. Bottled water is provided in each suite and replenished as needed at no additional cost.

Club Level

Club Level rooms are slightly more luxurious than Luxury Level rooms and come with free room service from 7 AM until 10 PM. This is one of the main reasons guests are willing to upgrade from a Luxury level suite.

Sandals’ room service gives you the opportunity to order breakfast in bed, and to have lunch and dinner delivered to your suite. Ideal if you don’t feel like dressing yourself up for the restaurant, or when you want to have a romantic dinner on your balcony or patio.

But it doesn’t stop there. If you book a Club Level room, you’ll be met on arrival by a Club Sandals Concierge. Expect warm towels (or cold) on arrival, private check-in at the Club Sandals Lounge, in-room and private resort orientation once you’re escorted in, a Club Sandals Welcome packet, and more.

In addition, you’ll have access to the Club Sandals lounge from 8 AM to 10 PM. The lounge includes a high-definition flat-screen TV, board games, books, novels and the list goes on. There’s also a tea and coffee station and all-day snacks and pastries. The lounge is a perfect sanctuary to enjoy your time on the off-chance there's some rainfall, while waiting for the sun to come out again.

The Club Sandals Concierge can also help you plan holiday activities and book reservations, tours, private dinners, a private beach cabana, spa appointments, and anything else you might need. The Club Level experience certainly makes it possible to indulge in a blissful Sandals holiday with relaxing and unwinding in paradise being your utmost priority.

Club Level rooms feature a well-stocked bar - free to use - with juice, soda, water, Robert Mondavi Twin Oaks® wine, local beer, and a variety of liquors replenished upon request.

Butler Elite

The Butler Elite suites are the most luxurious suites at Sandals with the most breathtaking views. This category of accommodation takes service and luxury to a whole new level as it includes a personal butler trained by the Guild of Professional English Butlers.

Butler suites at Sandals offer the 'once-in-a-lifetime' experience, ideal for that special occasion!

If you choose to stay in a suite of this category, you can expect that your butler will greet you on arrival with lemongrass-scented hand towels, welcome cocktails or champagne, and even culinary treats. Your butler will escort you to your suite and fill you in on the various resort facilities, and you can check-in from the comfort of your suite.

Once you’re checked in, you can tweak accommodation preferences, tour the resort, or just relax – you’ll get a personal cell phone to reach your butler whenever you need assistance.

Butlers can even serve you lunch, dinner, culinary treats, your favourite cocktails, and champagne from any restaurant or bar on the beach, at the poolside or in your suite.

Butler suites boasts a fully stocked bar - free to use - with juice, soda, water, sparkling wine, Robert Mondavi Twin Oaks® wine, local beer, and your selection of premium liquors, replenished upon request.

Some butler suites even come with luxurious private airport transfers.

Love Nest Suites®

Sandals Love Nest Suites® are the best pick for couples who want a Caribbean holiday that has it all — and by all, we mean an elegant and romantic setting, peaceful ambiance, and all the inclusions you'd expect at Butler Elite level rooms.

Sandals Love Nest Suites® are a top choice for guests who want suites that are a bit more private. Suites in this category can be found at all Sandals Resorts, and their popularity has to do with their deliberately intricate design and charming layout.

Guests selecting Love Nest Suites® will know just as soon as they get into their room that they’ve made the right choice. Even the bathrooms are something to talk about, with stylish free-standing tubs, stone accents, rain showers, his and her vanities, and more.
