I stayed in a 5 star hotel earlier this month and tipped nothing, except with the meal.

No need to tip hotel. Just if staff have been helpful, i.e. waitress/waiter... porter etc...

[DJerba]

I'd say between �5 - �10 how many nights you staying? May be worth tipping the bar staff get served first etc

only tip porter if he carries your case.
only tip in restaurant if you are happy with the food
only tip in the bar if you are propping it up for most of the night! or drinking lots of complicated cocktails.

otherwise treat it as any other hotel experience - and don't forget to have FUN!!! ♥ ☺

Marfy - You could email them and ask what their policy is on tipping. Or their website may have a FAQ section that addresses it already.
