A few weeks ago we were at Papagayo and I checked the bill against the menu price. There was no tip included in the bill, so I added mine for the excellent service. I don't mind tipping for good service like the maids at Club O. If they don't get one usually and after my $5 tip I can see them feeling appreciated. As one person said, the service is good tip or not. I don't really care what they are paid anywhere else, but I do care that the people that serve us feel like we care. I figured out the cost of the trip and what we paid in tips and it comes to about 2 to 3 percent of the total cost and that is only to the ones that we personally see (taxi drivers, maids and meal servers). My tip is for appreciation and I hope all that served me feel appreciated. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />
