Tipping

[London_1989]

Being from the Uk we hardly tip, Whats best to tip everytime and how much or tip for the night and how much do people normally tip ?

This is how i handle it :

Guy carrying your bags to the room : 2-3 US$ per bag
Maid: 1-2 US$ / day and 10 when i go home (if happy with her service)
Bartender at the Resort (occasionally 1-2 bucks)
Bartender at the Clubs 15-20bucks upfront , so he always keeps the drinks flowing
Waiter at Restaurant 10-20% of bill (depends how happy you are with the service)
Cabdriver 1-5US$


This is not a guide, just for you to figure it roughly out. With the numbers above i always had a great service.

We're looking to do something like the following:

Front Desk (this if we want to get a better room/quicker service, optional) – $30 or 300 pesos
Restaurants – 15-20% of bill
Maid - $2 or 20 pesos per person per day
Bellboy - $2 or $20 pesos per bag
Bar Staff – $1 or 10 pesos per drink

If we want the waiter to keep the drinks flowing and to serve us as a priority we need to hit them up for a bigger tip upfront like $10 or 100 pesos.

Then top them up during the night.

Hope this helps dude.

I get where your coming from mate ! I work as a barman part time and hardly ever get a tip , the odd quid now and again . I think when we go to places like Ibiza etc we take it for granted, we never tip and leave the place a mess .
