Sandals Grenada! Butler Service, Tour, Food, Drinks, Room, & Trip! 

Yes!! It’s definitely a bucket list resort and destination!!

Go gamecocks!!

We can make that happen ☺️

Us too!

Yes! We love this resort and island! One of our all time favorites! Having the private pool off the room was 👌!! ☺️

Thank you!! It was amazing!! ☺️ thanks for watching our channel!!

Hi Debbie! We'd love to help you if you would like us to, our link is here: PenyakTravel.com/contact either way, thanks for stopping by our channel!

Yes!! We loved them too!! Really enhanced our entire stay!!!

Newbie here. Can you tell me what the average tip per day for the butler is?

Our tips range depending on how much our butlers do for us. For example, I broke my foot at Southcoast. We only had 2 butlers there and tipped $600 for 7 nights. In St Lucia and Grenada we had 3 butlers each trip. We always try to tip close to $25-30/butler/day. 👍

@@acouplecaribbeantravelers Thank you

Glad you had a great time at the resort!! Thanks for watching!!

Thank you so much for subscribing to our channel!! ☺️

You should! It’s great! ☺️

We enjoyed it and will be back!!

Hi! So sorry for the delay! We LOVE Le Blanc resorts (we’ve been as well). They are fairly similar but I would give Le Blanc the edge in food. Grenada is much more about the destination. That said, Grenada is our favorite Sandals and the destination won’t disappoint. Enjoy your trip!! ☺️

It’s fun!!

I can tell 😁 i absolutely loved your videos you have a new subscriber here!

@@lesliegayeman8680 Awesome! Thank you so much! We appreciate it!!

Hi Kelly!! Thanks for watching! We were there during lower occupancy. The butlers will guarantee you a space on the beach (a nice one!). They will reserve you pool or beach chairs with your name on it and a cooler full of drinks. Our next podcast episode will be “butler or no butler.” We will probably release it this week. Honestly, we love the butler service, if you haven’t had one at sandals we highly recommend it. There’s no other personal service like it at any sandals resorts. Hope this helps and feel free to reach out to Janet anytime Janet@PenyakTravel.com ☺️

Hey! Thanks for watching! Grenada is probably our favorite, but all of the resorts are different, so it would depend on what style you’re looking for.

Hi!! We’d love to help you plan the perfect anniversary trip! Grenada really isn’t limited by weather so anytime of the year is great. It’s one of the southern most Caribbean islands so the climate is fairly consistent. We do plan Disney, Universal Studios, and Vegas packages. Thanks for the subscription too! ☺️

Enjoy your trip! You will be fine without the upgrade to get dining reservations (I do not believe they favor room category when it comes to placing a dining reservations). We like the club level rooms, it would come down to personal preference. Hope this helps!! Thanks for tuning into our channel!

Hi Nia! That’s a good podcast episode for us to do (Grande St Lucian VS. Grenada). We’ve been to both recently and have a vlog on the Grande. Grenada is newer and is a good bit smaller than St. Lucia. I like the dining options at Grenada alittle better. There’s more off resort activities to do in St. Lucia. Grenada has more of a laid back feel. Hope this helps!

@@PenyakTravel definitely a good postcast topic! Especially for us Sandals newbies. Thanks for the helpful reply!

Hey!! I’m honestly not sure the name of it, typically its their “local specialty” it was good! I do remember that! 🏝☺️

Hi! In Grenada all guests have to be vaccinated. However, we feel that feeling safe is really up to the individual, what one feels is safe another may not feel as safe. So it’s a hard question to answer. Personally, we felt fine there, but that’s just us.

Hi Stuart! Thanks for tuning into our channel! The airport is close, but there's little to no noise from it. There's a fairy large hill in between the resort and the airport. Also, the Grenada airport is very small and does not see many flights at all compared to other Caribbean destinations. Hope this helps!

Hi! Thanks for watching! The beach at Grenada is nice, it’s not the biggest, like what you’ll find at Negril or Antigua but it’s very very swimmable and has really nice views and blue water. If you’re choosing between Barbados and Grenada we would definitely pick Grenada over Barbados, we’ve been to both resorts and Barbados as recent as a few weeks ago.

@@PenyakTravel Thank you for your reply! We are trying to find the best beach experience overall. Love to do snorkeling, so you would say Antigua over Grenada in terms of beach? What about St. Lucia? Thanks again!

@@ballerbreaks6337 of those listed above, if it’s just about the beach than Antigua is the best!

Hey John! Thanks for checking out our channel! If you pause the video around the yellow floating rings you’ll see people in the water. It’s very swimmable and has pretty good snorkeling right off the beach! The yellow floating rings are sturdy rings grounded to the bottom of the water and you can lay on them hang out by them (great to hold your drink while your floating in the ocean!). We enjoyed the beach here (and the swim up bar in pool too! 😃). Hope this helps!

Hi Joe! Thanks for watching the video and checking out our channel! Yes! There are the Skypool butler suites that we have a video of on our channel. The views are stunning! It’s one of our favorite room categories!

Hi!! Thanks for watching! Everyone has different budgets and options when booking. Personally, we feel the butler service at Sandals particularly is worth it! Other resort brands offer a butler level service and they don’t really match the personal service you’ll receive from a sandals butler. If you can swing it, it very much worth it!!

Yes!! Grenada has some of the best too!! ☺️

Hey Ron! Thanks for checking out the channel! It probably is, we certainly can’t recommend that as travel professionals, that said, it’s your room and your privacy. 👍

Hi Sheila! It’s about 3 and a half hours from Miami. Thanks for watching ☺️

Hi Margaret, thanks for watching! In the event you test positive the day before you leave you could be moved to a different room. You can’t leave the room, you can go on the balcony. You have to quarantine for 5 days. These are United States regulations, not local Caribbean. If you do test positive, you can test again every day, if you test negative before the 5 days are up you can leave quarantine early. At the end of the 5 days, regardless if you’re still testing positive, you can return to the U.S.

We were there in February a few years ago and the pool was comfortable. You should be fine, if you have heavy rain it could lower the pool temp but overall you’ll be good! 🏝☺️

Hi!! Thanks for watching!! Sandals Emerald Bay would top that list ☺️

About 5 minutes! It’s very close but the hillside prevents noise from the planes! It’s great!

Hey Matt! At the 10:05 mark we head to the beach, we also went for a few sunsets. It’s not the biggest beach but it was very relaxing spot! 👍

The butlers escort their guests to dinner as a gesture of service. They will also seat you and grab your first drinks and water. It’s an enhanced level of service.

The pricing will vary depending on the time of year you travel and availability at the resort. As an example this October 29th is $1,700 per night for the room we had. Thanks for watching! ☺️

Hi Matt! It is our top Sandals resort, it is really hard to compare the smaller island all-inclusive resorts to larger destinations like Mexico. It would really depend on the individual traveler travel style. That said we LOVE this resort!!

Yes! But it’s soooo worth it 😀🏝

Hi!! We believe they were probably around 80% occupancy. The resort is nicely laid out, we’ve been during peaks where the resort is nearly full and it feels the same. You can get resort certified at the resort and they do dive trips daily! We didn’t do one but have done them at other sandals and they are a lot of fun! ☺️

@@PenyakTravel thank you. I want to go but I was hesitant about huge crowds. I noticed the Sandals beach front wasn't too big, or was that an optical illusion, looked like there were two rock jetties on both sides of the property making kinda small. Which Sandals resort in your opinion has the best beach?

@@rustybaxter9606 the beach here is maybe a tad on the small side but very swimable and has pretty good snorkeling right off the beach. Antigua and Exuma probably have the best beaches out of all of the sandals resorts. If you love a nice beach I would start with those! Sandals Southcoast in Jamaica also has a really nice beach!

Hi Dennis! Tons to do, we go to this resort often and did not to much off the resort during this particular trip. They have good scuba/snuba diving, snorkeling, 4x4 tours of the island, deep sea fishing, tons of historic tours, river tubing, and a lot of non motorized water sports at this resort. Hope this helps and thanks for tuning in!
