Do you tip at all-inclusive resorts?
With gratuities included, you have the freedom to choose whether you want to tip or not, and if you do decide to, they can be tipped the amount that feels right to you based on the service you received. Under no circumstances, however, should you ever feel pressured to tip in an All Inclusive resort. While tipping is not required at most all-inclusive resorts, it is certainly encouraged. Keep in mind that you don’t need to tip every time, and usually the people you’ll tip are those providing a personal service, like wait staff, bartenders, room attendants, tour guides, etc.For a one-week stay at an all-inclusive resort, a couple should budget to spend about $150 USD (or the local currency equivalent) total in tips. That means you bring about $20 in small bills to spend on tips throughout the day.
