Is Sandals a no tipping resort?

You'll be happy to know that except for butlers; tipping is included, and you won't need to shell out any money for tips while on vacation. The resort handles the tipping, and you're free to enjoy your vacay.



Yes, Sandals Resorts operates under a strict "no tipping" policy for the vast majority of its staff, as gratuities are already included in your all-inclusive vacation price. This policy is designed to provide a "carefree" environment where you don't need to carry cash for bartenders, waiters, or housekeeping. In fact, most employees are not permitted to accept tips, and doing so can jeopardize their employment. However, there are three major exceptions to this rule: Butlers, who are expected to be tipped for their highly personalized service (often $25–$75 per day); Massage Therapists at the Red Lane Spa; and external Tour Guides or drivers for excursions. For these specific roles, cash tips are customary and appreciated, but for all other resort facilities, you should consider the service already paid for.
