sunshinegirl Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Did you guys tip the drivers? How much is appropriate? In pesos or dollars? How about in the hotel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacklynrae Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Yes about $1 a bag but since my hubby and I only had 1 we gave him 2 or 3 whatever we could grab. Take several ones and just tip as you go. Don't worry everybody is so nice down there and the exchange rate is about 10 to one so at least our dollar is worth more there!!

fat2nrml Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I only tipped the hotel staff I didn't know that we should tip the driver to and from the hotel and airport?? I made sure I had ones on me and gave them $2 American, I didn't get any Mexican money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazn Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I also used American money. We tipped the driver $5 each trip and tipped the hotel staff a couple of dollars for helping unload the bags and taking them to our room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynna Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I tipped the hotel staff as they helped me. I tipped Francisco when he dropped me back off at the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeBe Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I tipped Francisco $5 each way to and from the airport. I tipped the hotel staff as follows: $3 to the guy who brougt my bag up (the only other bills I had on me were 20's, and he wasn't getting THAT much! LOL!), 20-50% to waiters and the room service guy (I tipped larger when it was a small order like Jell-o). I only brought my american currency and used credit cards when I had to (had to make a run to Office Depot for a new mouse). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacklynrae Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I guess so because I also tip driver $5 both ways. Maybe instead of paying for fills we could just ask to drive the van for a couple of days haha! Just kidding I would get everybody lost! But I am sure it would make a lot of money for those that know where they are going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
