How Much Cash Should I Bring?
· 2 min read
You want to think about your cash needs in two parts: cash for tipping, and cash for spending money.
Tipping Cash
Here is a basic guideline for the way I calculate tipping cash needs:
| Service | Amount (USD) | Frequency | Total (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maid Service | $5 | 5 nights | $25 |
| Scuba Diving (2 tanks) | $5 - $10 per tank | 3 days (2 tanks/day) | $30 - $60 |
| On-Resort Restaurants | $5 per dinner | 4 meals | $20 |
| On-Resort Bars | $5 - $10 per day | 5 days | $25 - $50 |
| Transport | $5 | 2 rides | $10 |
| Total | **$110 - $135 |
