A costly practice
Wondering if you can find and buy cigars inside Sandals Resort? The answer is… yes! Yes, you can. Cigars are available in basically every Sandals Resort, but there is a catch.
Firstly, many guests find that the cigars are quite overpriced. This means you could end up paying 4-5 times more than you would at a regular store. Additionally, the quality of the cigars often falls short of expectations. While Sandals Resorts offer a special selection, including Cuban cigars at some locations, purchasing them onsite comes with a much higher price tag.
What should you do?
Many people opt to bring their own cigars to the resort, and this could be the smartest choice. Not only do you save money, but you also ensure you have the cigars you truly enjoy, which may not be available during your stay. While packing cigars might not be the first thing that comes to mind when heading to a beach resort, remember that doing so can save you both time and money.
Another option is to purchase cigars as soon as you arrive at the airport. Look for a gift shop and buy your cigars there. While they may be more expensive than what you would pay back home, the selection available to you will likely be broader than what you'll find at Sandals, and the prices may not be as high.
Your third option is to contact your butler, provide them with money, and request that they purchase cigars off-site. This option is available to guests staying in the butler-suite or those who have chosen to hire their own personal butlers. It's important to note that you'll need to provide your butler with cash for the cigars and transportation, as well as tip them for this service. Despite this, many people find that this option is cheaper and preferable to buying cigars on-site.
Your fourth option is to stop smoking. Smoking is bad, people! Okay, sorry, I’m not here to lecture anyone.
We hope we helped answer some questions when it comes to buying cigars in Sandals. Again, it’s a bit disappointing that so many guests think that the cigars are overpriced there, and you need to get your cigar off-site.
Remember to smoke in designated areas and always be respectful and considerate of other guests. Now, sit back, relax with your margarita and Cuban cigar, and have a fantastic time at Sandals!
