    Hello, I have a question for you. This is our first time in Jamaica and we are also going to RIU Aquarelle. On the other hand, I don't know the tips policy in Jamaica. Should you give tips to the restaurant? In US dollars or in Jamaican dollars? And approximately how much? THANKS :)

    • @s2h1adventures
      @s2h1adventures  2 місяці тому +2

      We went 2 times in Jamaica, and we gave tips in US dollars. There was other people tipping in Jamaican dollars as well, but the US dollars are widely used and probably easier to calculate as the Jamaican dollar so devalued. The store on site is even priced in US dollars. The amount depends on your budget and if you are happy with the service.
