TIPPING

Tipping is highly subjective and even more so at an all-inclusive resort. Tipping is not common across Northern Ireland so we want to share a little bit of a guide to help the Europeans and anyone else that may not have previously visited this type of resort.


When you purchase an all-inclusive vacation package, it states that gratuities are included so you are under no obligation or expectation to pay additional amounts to the staff throughout your stay.


You will find that the staff at the resort work incredibly hard to make your stay as special as they possibly can. If you want to give something extra, we tend to use the following guidelines (based on two people):

  • Drinks: $1-2 each round
  • Breakfast: $2-$5
  • Lunch: $5
  • Dinner: $5-20
  • Housekeeping: $2-5 per day
  • Private Transfers: $5-20

Both local money and US dollars are usable for tips within the resort. We highly recommend that you bring small bills with you if you plan to tip during your stay. Do not wait until you are at the resort as the ATM will run out of small bills quickly and it is not replenished each day.
