One of the hardest things to do when booking a Sandals Resort is to choose the room to book. There are several rooms with similar names.
Three of the butler options at Sandals Royal Caribbean are the Crystal Lagoon Honeymoon Oceanview Butler Suite (OR), Crystal Lagoon Honeymoon One Bedroom Butler Suite (PS), and the Crystal Lagoon Honeymoon Penthouse Oceanview One Bedroom Butler Suite (Category PO)
Each of these rooms is similar, offering top-notch service, in-room dining, and access to all the perks that come with Butler Elite status, but there are a few key differences that might make one a better fit for your style and preferences.
Crystal Lagoon Honeymoon Oceanview Butler Suite (Category OR)
Location: 2nd Floor, Buckingham Building
View: Partial Oceanview, Pool, and Garden
Vibe: Bright, breezy, and romantic
This suite is situated in the Buckingham Building, it overlooks the Crystal Lagoon pool with a peek at the ocean in the distance.
Inside, you’ll find a four-poster king-size bed, a flat screen TV, and a fully stocked premium in-room bar. The bathroom features dual vanities, mosaic tile details, and a shower/whirlpool tub combo that’s great for couples looking to unwind after a beach day.
The room is actually fairly small and the bathroom is a bit outdated, but is very large.
Crystal Lagoon Honeymoon One Bedroom Butler Suite (Category PS)
Location: Clarence Building
View: Pool and Tropical Garden
Vibe: Romantic, cozy, and a little more spacious
Though it’s called a “one bedroom,” this suite is more of a junior suite layout with a defined seating area rather than a fully separate room. That said, the extra space makes a noticeable difference, especially if you enjoy relaxing in your room or ordering room service meals.
The living area has plush seating and a second TV, giving you a mini “living room” feel. The bedroom still features a handcrafted king-size bed, premium in-room bar, and of course, butler service with 24-hour in-room dining.
The bathroom is a bit more spacious and includes a large whirlpool tub, double vanity with marble countertop, and a walk-in shower, which feels a bit more elevated than the combo tub/shower in the OR suite.
It’s a great choice for couples who value a little more room to spread out or want to enjoy private, in-room dinners at their dining table on the balcony, served by their butler.
Crystal Lagoon Honeymoon Penthouse Oceanview One Bedroom Butler Suite (Category PO)
Location: Top Floor, Buckingham Building
View: Expansive Oceanview over Crystal Lagoon pool
Vibe: Elevated and indulgent with the best view in the building
This resort is the same layout of the Crystal Lagoon Honeymoon One Bedroom Butler Suite. The only difference is the balcony.
While the other rooms have a balcony and view, this room is on the top floor with a large patio. You get a view of the surrounding gardens, but can also see the ocean in the distance.
Which to Choose?
The location of these rooms is very similar, and they both all butler service, but the big difference in the amount of space and the balcony. Since the price difference is not huge, we recommend the Crystal Lagoon Honeymoon One Bedroom Butler Suite over the Crystal Lagoon Honeymoon Oceanview Butler Suite. If you don’t mind paying extra for the penthouse we things it is worth it.
