Tipping in the Dominican Republic: A Practical Guide for Visitors and Expats
Tipping in the Dominican Republic works differently than in the U.S. or Canada. Restaurants add a 10% service charge (the propina legal) to your bill. Leaving an extra 5-10% in cash for good service is standard. At hotels, tip bellhops 50-100 pesos per bag and housekeeping 100-150 pesos per day.
