Tipping for Bell and Valet services at the resorts

[cieslack]

My family is staying at the PBH in late May - early June. Not to sound like a complete rube, but I normally don't use valet parking or bell service. As someone suggested on another thread, "The purpose of staying at an onsite hotel is to get rockstar treatment." Following that advice, I will likely spring for the valet and bell service at the resort. I have absolutely no idea what would be an appropriate tip for either service. I realize that there may be no concrete answer. I am asking for your opinions and past practices. Thanks in advance.

I personally give a 5 for Valet, and if the service is really good, I'll tip 3 or 4 dollars per bag..

Usually we would tip maybe $2-3 dollars for Valet, and maybe $1 per bag, plus maybe an extra $1 or 2 if it rounds nicely. (Like $5 for 4 bags.) BUT, you have to tip both times if it's a different person, e.g., one bell person takes your bags (tip), and then a different person brings them to the room later or whatever (tip). Or if it's the same person, I'd still tip extra in that case.

I agree about $5 for valet (each time) and then $1 - $2 per bag.

I usually tip $5 for valet and $3-$4 per bag for good service.
