Tipping in U.S. Virgin Islands

Tipping

Many hotels in the USVI add a 10% to 15% service charge to cover the room maid and other staff. However, some hotels may use part of that money to fund their operations, passing on only a portion of it to the staff. Check with your maid or bellhop to determine the hotel's policy. If you discover you need to tip, give bellhops and porters 50¢ to $1 per bag and maids $1 or $2 per day. Special errands or requests of hotel staff always require an additional tip. At restaurants bartenders and waiters expect a 10%-15% tip, but always check your tab to see whether service is included. Taxi drivers in the USVI get a 15% tip.
