Taken from the Recommendations Maldives Hotel thread

I've stayed at quite a few hotels that have offered butler service. So far I cannot differentiate what they offer from what a hotel with a very receptive front desk + concierge can.

I must have been staying at the wrong properties then.

Also, I don't remember butlers in Aman but they certainly provide what is in my opinion (shared by quite a few of you here) the pinnacle of service.

Please share your butler experiences and tell me what I should actually be expecting from a very good one. Thanks!
