Are Gratuities REALLY included at Sandals Resorts? Q&A #sandalsresort #allinclusiveresorts

Are gratuity— are gratuities really included or is that a trick? So I can see like, because sometimes in the cruise industry things are a little wishy-washy, or maybe some other resorts, but Sandals, everything's included. So when they say gratuities are included, there's no tipping. You tip your butler if you have a butler, you can tip them. And if you do spa services, you could tip the person who gave the spa service if you want. But that's pretty much it. If you do excursions that are like island routes, not included excursions, they take tips. And then your transfers to and from the resort are not Sandals people. They're a transfer company, so they would take tips. Or if you're in the airport and you use one of the porters to help you with your luggage, they are not Sandals So you would tip there. Uh, other than that, I just lock my wallet in the safe and that is it. So there's no tipping.
