re: Tipping etiquette at an all-inclusive resort

I had minor tipping anxiety at first all inclusive place we stayed, especially on day 1. It was a nice place in St Lucia. They did had an option to tip at the very end of your stay and allocate to who you wanted. We contributed at the end and were pretty generous since we had great service. But it wasn’t required.

Place we stayed recently in Cancun strictly stated that tips were included in the all inclusive price. No one ever brought a receipt to sign at dinners or poolside or beach drink service. That was nice not to even have to think about it. I did see people tipping bartenders with cash occasionally, but I kept no cash on me anyway.
