Mexico and Caribbean Resorts Providing Butler Service
Getting away to the Caribbean or Mexico can seem like a dream come true, but you should plan carefully if you’re booking for a special occasion. A honeymoon or anniversary trip should really include something special, whether you opt to stay in a five-star property, upgrade to a room with its own private pool or make sure your suite has a private terrace with space to marvel at the starry sky.
Reserving a room with butler service can also be a treat, mostly because having a butler helps you relax while someone else handles the details of your vacation. For example, butlers frequently take care of boring tasks like booking dinner reservations, coordinating activities or stocking your room with your preferred snacks and drinks. That said, butlers can also take steps to make your trip more romantic, from planning private dinners on the beach to setting up surprises or decorating your room with balloons and rose petals.
Which resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean have butler service? Quite a few, actually. In fact, you can enjoy butler service in select room categories at a variety of Sandals resorts, as well as adults-only Palladium properties, Royalton all-inclusive properties and Grand Velas resorts.
