Have you landed on a Sandals resort, but now you can’t figure out what type of room you want? You’re not alone! With the number of categories, views, amenities and level of service offered, it can be a bit overwhelming. After reading this, you’ll have a clearer understanding of the level of service that perfectly matches the type of trip you’re envisioning.

As a travel advisor who’s had the opportunity to experience each of these room categories at the various Sandals properties, I can confidently say that they each offer unique benefits tailored to different types of travelers. Whether you’re looking for a comfortable base to enjoy all the resort's incredible inclusions, a little extra pampering, or the ultimate indulgence, there’s a perfect room category for every couple. Let me walk you through the differences between the Luxury, Club, and Butler Elite levels of service. **This applies to the majority of properties; however, there are a few with exceptions. Contact us for resort-specific information**

Luxury Level Rooms: Ideal for Couples Who Want to Spend More Time Outside of the Room

The Luxury level suites are often the most popular choice for couples who want to enjoy everything Sandals has to offer without splurging on the higher-end categories. The value here is unbeatable. These rooms are spacious and comfortable, with all the amenities you need to relax and unwind after a day of exploring both the island and the resort. While these will be more entry level rooms, they still boast elegance and the experience of being on a tropical getaway.

From my experience, the Luxury rooms are perfect for couples who plan to spend most of their time outside the suite—whether it’s enjoying the pools, exploring the beach, indulging in the wide variety of activities Sandals provides or discovering everything the island has to offer. A highlight of the Luxury category is the minibar, which is stocked with local beer, Robert Mondavi Twin Oaks® wine, juice, soda, and water, all replenished upon request.

The overall vibe is one of romance and relaxation, with the emphasis on the fact that while you have everything you need in your suite, the true beauty of Sandals lies in its stunning location and all the activities it and the island offers.

Club Level Rooms: A Step Up with Exclusive Perks

If you’re looking for a little more luxury, the Club Level is a great option. From my many stays, I can say this category really elevates the experience with thoughtful details about the suites and extra services that make your time at Sandals even more special.

The suites at the Club Level put more emphasis on the details of the room as well as the amenities offered to make your stay more indulgent and relaxing. From the soaking tubs to the more impressive views to the swim-up suites, the Club level rooms are a great choice while still being budget conscious. Sandal's Dunn's River has a lot of great club options!

One of the major perks of Club Level rooms is the room service, available from 7 AM to 10 PM. This was a game-changer for me—it’s the perfect way to enjoy breakfast in bed, have a romantic lunch on the balcony, or even order dinner without having to leave your suite. For those mornings when you just want to relax and enjoy the view, room service makes everything feel a little more indulgent or you can just order from your swim-up suite and never have to leave the pool! This is my favorite thing to do when we indulge and stay in the swim-up suites!

As a Club Level guest, when you check in, you’re welcomed by the Club Sandals Concierge with warm towels, and you’ll enjoy a private check-in experience in the Club Sandals Lounge. This lounge, available from 8 AM to 10 PM, offers a peaceful retreat with all-day snacks, pastries, and a coffee station. There are also plenty of additional activities exclusive to club level guests to keep you busy; From snorkeling trips to wine tastings, there’s a lot of little extras. You can even book tours, spa treatments, or private dinners through the concierge team. The entire experience makes relaxation and convenience the priority.

Like the Luxury rooms, Club Level suites include a minibar with Robert Mondavi Twin Oaks® wine, local beer, juice, soda, and water, all replenished upon request, plus an additional selection of liquors.

Butler Elite Suites: Ultimate Luxury for a Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience

If you're seeking the pinnacle of luxury and service, the Butler Elite suites are the way to go. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted with a level of service that’s truly unparalleled. In my experience, staying in a Butler Elite Suite feels like a dream come true, especially for a special occasion like an anniversary or honeymoon.

You’ll be greeted by your personal butler with warm lemongrass-scented towels and a refreshing cocktail or champagne. Your butler will personally escort you to your suite and ensure that everything is to your liking, offering to adjust the room to meet your preferences. The check-in process is done right in your suite, adding an extra layer of convenience and comfort. Suites in these categories include over-the-water bungalows, private island Rondoval suites, and even suites with their own private pools on a bluff. Some of the suites even come with the use of a mini-cooper to explore the island!

One of the standout features of the Butler Elite Suites is the personalized service. They can reserve chairs for you each morning at your favorite pool or beach spot so you can leisurely enjoy your morning without the morning rush. (And they will provide a personal cooler with your favorite beverages for the day at your chairs as well!) You will also have a personal cell phone to reach your butler anytime you need assistance, whether it’s booking reservations, arranging private dinners, or even organizing activities outside the resort. During one of my trips in which we had a butler suite, I unfortunately injured my foot and had difficulty walking. Our butler Camille was nothing short of amazing- from escorting us to dinner in a golf cart, grabbing my hat from the room when I had forgotten it, to having meals delivered to us at the pool, she ensured that our trip was absolutely amazing despite the unfortunate situation.

The butlers can bring you drinks and can even arrange for lunch and dinner to be served on the beach, by the pool, or in your suite, right from the restaurants, which is different from the club level as those are limited to a specific room service menu. It’s the ultimate level of service that makes you feel like royalty.

Additionally, Butler Elite suites offer a fully stocked minibar with a premium selection of liquor, sparkling wine, Robert Mondavi Twin Oaks® wine, local beer, juice, soda, and water, all replenished upon request. Some butler suites even include luxurious private airport transfers by boat or Rolls-Royce, so your entire experience feels seamless from start to finish.
