    Subject: Re: [roatan] Tipping




    Tipping is allowed and as said about 10-15% which is normal, although I found a place on West End that charged an additional charge for the "cook". I didn't understand it all since I thought the cost of the food would have covered wages. In any case, I never went back as it was the only place where I ran into that type of charge. By the way, it was over and above the tax for the government and tip for the waitress.

    It was kind of unexpected and several of my friends on the island had never seen anything like that, anywhere.

    some of the restaurants do add a 10% service charge on
    to the check, but others only add the 12% goverment
    tax. the norm is 10 to 15 % of your bill. if you have
    great srvice, then leave a great tip as salarys for
    workers are very low on the island and in the whole
    country. dian/dian's garden of eat'n
