Coffee? Tea? What else?

So I can tell that you get coffee and tea. Maybe clothes packed/unpacked and even pressed. But if you are going to a StR where there is pretty much nothing around (Bora Bora) what else can they do? Arrange for scuba/snorkeling? Bring the gear? Get you a golf cart or bike?

I'm not used to someone waiting on me and really don't think this is a huge benefit personally, but am I missing something? I'm not trying to be snarky or disrespectful, but can you ask them to hop over to the market and pick up some Hinano so you don't pay $15 each at the resort? That would be handy and I would certainly compensate them for their time.

I guess I'm just trying to determine if I will even use a butler or not.
