This was our fourth Sandals resort visit and our third experience with a butler. While we always look forward to celebrating our anniversary at these resorts, our recent stay in Montego Bay didn't quite meet the high expectations set by our previous visits. We genuinely appreciate the butler service, as it greatly enhances our trips, making them both amazing and romantic.
During our stay, we noticed there was no clear schedule of events, which led us to unintentionally stumble upon the silent party after dinner. We also encountered a small hiccup with our snorkeling excursion; unfortunately, we didn’t receive the boarding pass we needed. Additionally, we returned to our room without any surprises to celebrate our anniversary, which was a bit disappointing since past resorts have always shown such thoughtfulness.
Usually, when we meet our butler, we are asked about our plans. However, this time we didn’t have that opportunity. We typically tip well, but this trip included a request for tips, which was a new experience for us. While some team members were friendly and approachable, we occasionally felt a general atmosphere that made us seem like a burden.
On a positive note, the beach was gorgeous and is now my second favorite among all the places I've visited. We even decided to upgrade the couple we invited so they could enjoy the same experience, although it didn't quite match those of our previous visits. We truly appreciate the efforts made by the staff and hope to see improvements for future guests.
