Just curious about appropriate tipping rates for things such as maids, food service etc. Tips are already included in all-inclusive prices, so please do not tip as it causes problems for those who folow the rules and don't tip. In fact some resorts will fire workers who are caught accepting tips. |

tipping question
I would have to disagree. I have heard mention of resorts firing
staff for taking tips but never actually seen it mentioned in resort information. I always tip the wait staff the bartenders and the people who make up my room. We bring a bunch of US singles and give tips of one or two dollars. The only ones getting rich at the resorts are the owners. Tips help the workers improve their life. Just be discreet and don't be obvious. We also bring gifts like cosmetics and costume jewlery for the maids. |

tipping question
I have been to several AI resorts in Mexico. I follow the rules and
do not tip. When I see people who do tip, there is not much reaction from the tippee. Americans and some Canadians seem to think that tipping gives them better service. Generally, it does not. So, don't tip in an AI resort. However, if my room service is outstanding (a swan is made every day from a towel and placed on my bed and they don't hound me when I sleep in to clean the room), I *may* tip a buck per day but not until the very last day.

According to my Tour operator, you don't tip. I showed the source of my info, so the OP could see for himself, if he wanted to. Jan =============== Comment from Moderator =============== No, your tour operator says that tips are not included in the package price unless it is an all-inclusive, meaning tips ARE included in all-inclusice packages.
