This year will be our first year staying onsite. In fact we will be 5 days in a hotel near DTD and 9 nights at the Poly.
All other trips have been in a villa offsite so we have not had to think about tipping as there is no housekeeping or anything. (My Mum and I were the housekeepers!!!)
So help me please? In the UK you don't really tip housekeeping. We don't tip as many people as you do in the US. We are not being mean its just not such a huge part of our custom. We tip in restaurants, taxis, hairdressers but can't think of many others. We only tip if we have had good service. If we don't get good service then there would be a lesser or no tip. Some people never tip, even in restaurants.
I just don't want to get it wrong in US hotels! Who should I tip and how much? Should I always tip regardless of level of service?
Thanks!!!!
