Tipping In Mexico



We often receive questions about advice on tipping in Mexico, so we have prepared this basic guide on what we have found customary.

Suggested Tips in US Dollars (see current conversion rate below)
  • Restaurants: $1-3 per meal per table, typically 15% depending on service.  However, waiters are paid very little and depend on the tips so we suggest a minimum of 10%.  
  • Bartender: $1 per round of drinks
  • Bellmen: $1-3 per bag
  • Housekeeper: $1-5 a day, more for longer stays.  If you have special minibar requests tip extra.  If there is an envelope, the will likely expect tips.  If not, be sure to leave money in an obvious spot with a note saying "Gracias" (Thank You) so they know they can take it.  It is recommended to either tip daily or at the beginning of your stay for the best service.  
  • Pool Boys: $5 if they save you prime chairs by the pool
  • Concierge: $5 if they get you into a fully booked specialty restaurant
  • Shuttle Bus: $2.50-$5/person
  • Spa: 10-20% depending on the service, be sure to check to see if gratuity is automatically added.  
  • Tour Guides: $5-$10/person for a full day tour, depending on guide knowledge, service and experience.
  • Drivers: $1-$3/person

What Our Clients Are Saying

​Amazing travel agent!!
My husband and I went on our first trip out of the US this year thanks to the hard work by an amazing travel agent. She was able to find us a beautiful vacation spot within our budget and helped us through the entire process of booking the vacation and answering all of our questions about obtaining passports.  She gave us a step by step brochure to take with us which had all information needed for the trip, and booking all of our excursions while in Cabo. I highly recommend Tasha at Pack and Play Travel. Every vacation we go on will be through her agency!!!
