Punta Cana Tipping Guidelines - Suggestions

by Stella
(Calgary, Canada)

What is the proper amount to tip... whether it's the maids or restaurant servers? I would like good service and I don't want to come across as cheap or be taken advantage of. Also which is better for them, US dollars or Pesos?? We are staying at NH Real Arena Punta Cana. Where can we go to shop(markets)?

Answer:

Hello Stella,

For the maid you could give 2 to 3 USD per room/daily. In an a la carte restaurant you could give 4 to 5 USD daily. In my opinion, the Dominican pesos are easier for them because they wouldn't need to exchange them but they will be happy with the tips in either currency and they are very used to the USD also.



You can walk down the beach and check some of the small shops. There is a gift shop at the resort, there are also malls like the Plaza Palma Real (shopping center), you could go on a tour or by taking a taxi.
