Everything will go for the cleaner: chocolate, Snickers bars and others, any sweets are just in a bag and they respect our seeds very much, 1 dollar. they charge 10-25 more expensive, but feel free to refuse for these sums per day, you should not overpay. On the first day, give the bartender 2 bucks, and on the second day, a pack of cigarettes and they will not pour you poison and remember your preferences for 5-9 days. In the dining room, give the waiter 1 bucks and he will carry wine at lunch without restrictions, while not forget to smile, thank and in a day (so you don't forget) let's squeeze our sweets - and a clean table will always be waiting for you. It’s not stressful for the money, BUT YOUR REST will change at times (checked more than once in Egi). By the way, in Greece, somehow, they didn’t want to clean the room, but we silently and persistently: clearly every day we leave either chocolate or sweets, then the money struck on the 4th day: the room was perfectly clean, a bottle of wine, a bouquet of flowers, although there were no swans

Our chocolate is very popular. Just take milk preferably without filler. Cigarettes, vodka, that's all clear. Ordinary sucking sweets like barberry go very well too. At the reception it is naturally better to give dollars.

So it’s clear about dollars, but there’s very little one at a time ..) Yes, and something doesn’t really happen in the exchanger

You know, people who have a lot of complaints about the number are often surprised on vacation, THEY DO NOT REST - they run, get nervous, call the reception, catch cleaners, change towels, get indignant at the bar, snort at the waiters and at the same time DO NOT SPEND ON TIPS AND 1 USD . for the whole rest. Like, everyone owes me!!! Then advice - choose an expensive hotel - and you will be happy.

The issue of 1 dollar is solved very simply: go to the cleaner (ONLY NOT TO HIS OTHER HE WILL NOT LEAVE EVERYTHING FOR TEA) to anyone you meet on the territory or go to another building and up to 50 bucks he will easily change for small ones for 1 y .e. By the way, they understand this request in any language, even those who are not belmes do not speak our language (verified). At the reception with such a request, do not poke your head, it is better to talk about the exchange with a Russian-speaking girl near the reception, she will also help. GOOD LUCK!!!

+1 for the fact that they calmly change for one-dollar bills from the cleaners-porters, once when buying a visa with 100 bucks they gave me a pack of a buck or two, they were enough for tips on the next trip. I take chocolates, I give them along with a buck, otherwise a buck is not enough, but + chocolate, and I don’t want to give more than a buck, otherwise in one hotel they frankly demanded five instead of a buck, although tea is a voluntary matter.

Enough already bullshit to suffer. Tipping must be done with MONEY! No dollars - give me pounds, they also found a problem for me. I immediately remember some old movie with a secretary, whom everyone presented with chocolates, but they already can’t stand them.

And we had a towel stolen from the balcony, so as not to pay on departure, we just went up to the bartender, told everything, showed a bottle of vodka (then it cost 80 UAH) and oh my. We have 2 cards for towels in an hour. I advise you to save something until the last day. In our case, the damage would have paid $ 15

Chocolates fit and they love them very much. We gave the porter $2, and he asked to exchange a dollar for a chocolate bar :-)

I know that the seeds give ...
but I’m somehow ashamed, and as a humiliation of dignity, to an outsider for his work, in a country where tips are accepted, to give food, alcohol, etc.
Immediately associations, sitting in a cafe on the bill put a bar of chocolate instead of a tip.
And something I have never seen foreigners tip food, and then we wonder why the attitude towards us is worse.
it is natural to change small dollars at bartenders, waiters and other service personnel.

You need to look at the place according to the situation. I personally asked our cleaners what was the best, chocolate, cigarettes or $, I didn’t offer alcohol (it would come in handy), but invited me to drink wine (they didn’t refuse). If we talk about the best rooms, then you first need to at least see what they have, and often from the words of the staff they are the best. Thank you for the early check in.

Fully agree with AllOverTheWorld. I also think it is humiliating for people to tip them with chocolates, seeds, etc., instead of money. Is that as a hotel in addition to a tip in $

Six days since returned from charm. On the transfer, they literally gave the guide and driver a candy bar, they just treated us. They were very happy, the guide at the check-in asked at the reception to immediately check us in (it was 7 am), at the reception as a present a bottle of Nemirovsky and a couple of chocolates - and we have a good number and bracelets on our hands at 7 am.

You know, it's a shame to give chocolate, seeds. Are you serious? Yes, half of OUR people don’t bother with tips at all, they don’t give ANYTHING, but they don’t want a number, but they demand super, they yell at the reception for an earlier settlement and food after the check out (many people know everything, but we have children, etc.) WITH THIS EVERYTHING EVEN DO NOT SMILE DO NOT THANK. We were not in an expensive hotel in December (so 1000 bucks for two), and so even there the cleaner was happy with chocolate and seeds, and the grandmother from the next room put some kind of bar and waffles, so then she admired her on the beach for three days swans and asked to admire her photo of everyone. Somehow we were sitting at the reception (waiting for a tour) and saw a couple approached the canteen worker in the morning and gave a couple of dollars, a bottle of our Ukrainian vodka and a package of bonjour, for which he let 2 adults and 2 children into the canteen without bracelets (I didn’t even know this and made a DISCOVERY for myself that it’s possible to eat in Yegi without an early check-in, maybe not in all hotels, but for some trifle they will still let 1 person in)

It is clear that a restaurant needs money for tips, BUT even in Dubai I saw how a quite decent couple, after having dinner, put the rest of the food in a box, smiled sweetly (I don’t know if they tipped over the bill) and presented a small Alenka to the waiter, for which, he was delighted, ran to personally open the door and babbled something in gratitude. In short, the conclusion is this: who is ashamed, not convenient, not pleasant - thank with money, who wants to - thank with anything, especially cleaners, bartenders, who feel sorry for - smile in the dining room, bartender, etc., thanks will be heard and understood by EVERYTHING. Do not be rude , do not demand from 4 * excellent service and chic in the room and food, and make it a rule: "You live as you want, AND I SMILE YOU !!!!!!!!!!!"

_727615, I can open America for you
but even in Michelin-starred restaurants it is customary to pack food leftovers, in civilized countries this is the norm.
Nobody talks about rudeness at all. It depends on the upbringing of the person!
Tipping in Europe-America is already included in the bill. In many European countries (with a high standard of living) it is generally not customary to leave a tip for maids.
I harvest sweets for the driver, the guide and everyone else, how many sweets do you need to bring?;)) Poroshenko must be told to let him pay for the Maldives with sweets, otherwise he spends like a fool half a lama greens on vacation when he has these sweets, like shoe polish;) ))))))

They love our chocolate very much. Take it, it won't hurt. When we checked in, at the reception they gave $ 10 to quickly settle in, and our friends gave just a chocolate bar, and they were given a room much faster and better than ours. So... So money is money, and chocolate also works wonders, as it turned out! )))

I am for giving something with both hands. I remember for a long time, our first trips to Yegi and a trip on ATVs:. when we went out to the Bedouin village, the children immediately ran up to the group and began to beg. Everyone began to brush them off, and one girl took off her bright elastic bands, hairpins and presented them, and I dug in my bag and found some caramels and a pen. Candy immediately began to eat. You should have seen their joy .... Of course, they don’t settle for chocolate earlier, and money is needed in the restaurant, BUT TIPS and presents are NEEDED AND THE POINT ...

This year, we made such great friends with the cleaner, treated us with sweets, gave cigarettes, talked with us at any free time (a company of 20 people + 4 children (+/-10 years)), before leaving my wife brought a bunch of bottles (she took a little for decency , she does not suffer from this sport from me to take everything from the bathroom) and offered a cash prize, he refused.

They love our chocolate very much in Sharm. They even ask sometimes. At the reception, upon arrival, I give a box of Ukrainian sweets. They take it with pleasure. How many times I have been, they always help and respond to every request. each time is not enough, because I want to thank everyone for the excellent attitude. I wish you all a good, positive holiday.
