With stunning beachfront locations, gourmet dining, and top-shelf cocktails always included, it’s no wonder Sandals and Beaches Resorts are go-to choices for luxury Caribbean escapes. But once you start exploring room options, things can get confusing—Butler? Club? Luxury? Swim-up? Rondoval? What does it all mean?
If you’ve found yourself overwhelmed while browsing resort maps and room lists, you’re not alone. Here’s a breakdown to help you confidently choose the right room category for your vacation—and make sure you’re getting the best experience for your travel style and budget.

So… Which Category Is Right for You?
