In Response To: Re: Tipping at all-inclusive (Galindy)

I always tip at an AI, so long as I get good service.

Maid: $2/day
Turndown/minibar: $1/day (most of the time)
Bellboy: $2-3
Bartenders: $1 every few drinks
Pool server: $1 every few drinks
(sometimes extra at end of trip)

Meals:
Breakfast - $1 if I get coffee without asking
Lunch - generally no since I do buffet, but if its sit-down, usually $2
Dinner - $2-5 depending.................

In the total scheme of what you've spent for a week at an AI, the extra doesnt really amount to much.

At an AI tipping is allegedly included, but I doubt that much of the money you pay to a hotel "trickles down" to the staff.

Also, when giving a TIP in a resto, I give it VERY DISCRETELY, to make sure the Bell Captain is not . . . uh. . . involved.

Also: for transfer driver (airport/hotel): usually $5

Some good ideas here--and I don't tip near managers either!
