Cancun Palace Resort - Tipping the Servers - Part 5

Welcome back to Palace All Inclusive Blog...

Travelers always ask me whether they should tip the servers or not. Although tips are included in the selling price of accomodation at the time of booking, it is up to you to tip them or not. Normally $1 or $2 is more
than enough. $1 for the servers is a lot of money since it seems that they are not payed that well.
It is your personal judgement. If you feel that your server went overboard with his / her duties, I don’t mind giving her $1. Why not? When you give a tip, simply notice their big smile and the gratitude they show you – trust me. As I said for us $1 is nothing but for them is a lot. And better not leave the tip on the table, but give it to them directly.

If you are also that kind of traveler that leaves the room in a mess every morning, it would be a good idea to tip your room cleaner. She will definitely appreciates it.

NOTE: You don’t need to tip to get an excellent service. You will still get an outstanding service if you do not tip them, but believe me you will find servers who go overboard with their duties to help the guests at the Palace Resorts. I am glad to tip such people as an appreciation for their efforts and excellent service.

I also tip the bellboys. Once, I was at the Aventura Spa Palace and had 5 luggages extremely heavy since I was on trip for around a month in Cancun. The bellboy did not let us carry any of the luggages. He had loaded them into the golf car and unloaded them, carried all of them up to the second floor, all down the corridor and into our room. Of course we immediately felt it was so worth to tip such person.

This takes me to my next point. All the Palace Resorts do not expect you to tip their servers. Unlike other porters / bellboys who stay at your room door waiting for the tip or charge you a percentage as a service fee as tips in many USA / European restaurants, the servers at Palace Resorts do not expect you to tip on any occasion. As a result of this, guests staying at any of the Palace Resorts need to be assured that they will not find any surprises during or after their stay.

In the next post series we will discuss Cancun Palace pool and the beach. What’s so special about these?
