With all the luxury services that new hotels offer, there are many more people that you will come into contact with than just the porter and the maid. How do you know who to tip and more importantly, how much to tip? The first lesson is that some resorts are all inclusive and will have a "resort fee" added to the bill (15 to 20% against the room rate) that is to be distributed as tips for the employees; no additional tipping is necessary here, and many employees will not accept them. If this is not the case at your hotel, employees who should be tipped include the concierge, doormen, drivers, pool attendant and those who offer special services, like masseurs. See the full guide for details on who gets a dollar, who gets 20% and what you should expect in return. And don't forget the maid. Leave a few dollars a day, depending on the size of the room and the size of your mess.
