Should I tip?
Answer
It is customary to tip at these type of resorts as resort workers make very little. You do tend to find that tipping gets you that extra special service (none of us ever want to go thirsty right!), however, a little goes a long way therefore we recommend bringing small denominations to tip little and often if you can - it is not mandatory!
