Tips and gift ideas for the
resort staff
Tipping during
your vacation
Many guests don't have
clear idea on tips and gift ideas for the resort staff. When
you go on
vacation, you will notice that the hotel staff of a quality resort will
work very hard to make sure your stay is enjoyable.
The resort
staff works quite hard to make sure your Punta Cana vacation is
comfortable and
fun. The hotel staff, however, does not always receive the proper
payment for their services. As a result, they will often rely upon tips
to make a decent weekly earning.
So,
for those who may need a little help, here is a brief look at the
proper way to tip.
The term “resort staff” can be a
somewhat catch all term. Major hotels will have a large staff that
performs several different duties. The amount of money that you want to
tip them should be
based upon the services they perform. You will want not to over tip or
under tip them, that is why is good to understand the proper amount of
tips and gift ideas for the resort staff.
 As soon as you reach
the hotel, you will come
in contact with the bell hops that will carry your bag to your room. As
you are well aware, it is not always a joy to lug these bags but it is
also not a major burden. So, depending upon the weight of the bag, you
will want to tip $1 - $2 per bag.
When
you are settled in your room, there will be two members of the hotel
staff you will have contact with. These staff members are maids and
room service. Maids generally will venture into your room when you are
not there.
However, it is best to leave $2 to $3 in tips out in plain
sight per day if you think they have done a good job. They work hard to
make sure the room
is presentable so why not reward them for their effort? As for room
service, it is best to tip them the same you would tip a waiter about
15%.
However, it is important to check whether or not gratuities are already
included as part of the bill. In some resort they already are.
Some
travelers may also provide small gifts or trinkets to hotel staffs as
well. For example, for the room maid you can leave: some makeup,
toiletries or inexpensive jewelry; with a little note saying "Gracias"
which means thank you. Remember that this
is fine when added on to a monetary tip, which is more important. To
give only small gifts without a bit of cash is not very appropriate,
because their salary is not enough.
Tipping the hotel staff in your Punta Cana vacation is not only a way
to show your appreciation for the work
they perform, it also ensures that your stay is an enjoyable one. After
all,
a happy staff will certainly treat you very well.
