Solo Tipping

[lynn71092]

Doing my 1st solo and I have a question.
What is proper for solo tipping in the resort?
We usually leave $1.00/day per person but if I'm alone $1.00 seems kind of cheap.

I leave $2/day. If Mousekeeping goes above and beyond (leave towel animals, etc.), I'll leave $3 or $4/day, but my general rule of thumb is $2/day.

I am a solo and tip $2 daily when I stay in hotels.

From what others tell me, I tend to leave things a bit messy, not dirty, just a little disheveled. I don't put things away; I untuck the bed completely and don't pull the covers back; I turn the iron off, but leave it out; etc. So, I tip $5 a day - more if they go above and beyond. They work hard and deserve it.

One this is I don't do is "Mousekeeping" envelopes. My first solo trip, the housekeeper wouldn't take it because it didn't say Housekeeping. She was afraid she'd get fired for taking something that didn't belong.
