And how much money do you need to prepare for a trip to Maldives? There are basically two situations where dollars will be used.
The first one is: How much is the tip to Maldives? In Maldives, you can enjoy many intimate services. Tipping is a common way to express gratitude for service, which is not only affirmation and recognition of staff's service, but also respect and reward for their work.
Nowadays, in many resorts in Maldives and abroad, people are used to tipping the service staff after enjoying the service. It is understandable to be in a comfortable environment, enjoy intimate service and give an appropriate tip. After all, your efforts should be rewarded. There is no mandatory tipping rule in Madai. Tipping is entirely voluntary and gradually becomes an unwritten rule. In Maldives, the basic salary of service personnel is generally low, and the main source of income is tips. It is suggested that appropriate tips should be given according to the service situation, and local traditions and workers' labor achievements should be respected.
Service charge: All the expenses of guests on Madai holiday island, including reservation, pick-up, dining and shopping on the island, include a charge called "service charge", which is usually 10% of the total consumption. For example, the room rate is $65,438+0,000 a night, but when it is actually sold to guests, there is a service charge of $65,438+0,654,38+0,000 a night. As long as a tip is generated, a service charge will be charged. These service fees are distributed by the hotel to all waiters in proportion.
Tipping mechanism can make waiters' good service recognized and motivate them to do better. Then, let's find out where Madai needs to tip and how much he usually gives.
1. There are many people at the airport, so you need to take care of your luggage. The environment of the airport is not suitable for tipping, so the airport doesn't have to give black. If Xiaohei helps with the luggage, he can also thank $ 1-2.
If you stay at Male or Airport Island Hotel on the same day, the airport pick-up will help you move your luggage to the transit hotel. If the service of picking up Blackie is satisfactory, you can tip 1~2 dollars when you arrive at the transit hotel.
All kinds of expenses have been included in the package of transportation expenses to that island. You can enjoy the scenery on the island without tipping, and just thank the staff when you arrive. If you are happy, you can give, but it's entirely up to you.
3. Tips for helping with luggage when checking in at the hotel: 1-2 USD. Usually when you check in, the hotel staff has moved your luggage to the door of your room. When everyone went to the room, the baggage carrier had already left. If you meet them on the way to their room, remember to give them $65,438 +0-2, which is very important to them. This cost is inevitable.
4. The butler's tip is suggested to be $ 5~ 10 (local tyrants are free). On the day of going to the island, the housekeeper will introduce you to the room, facilities and meals. Very tired. After the introduction, the housekeeper will directly give you a tip to thank you, once. An island with a private housekeeper is the person who will be responsible for all the activities and meals on your island. Some luxury islands will also give you a private mobile phone to contact the housekeeper. Therefore, if the housekeeper gives more, there may be unexpected surprises, which can easily help solve small problems.
5. The suggestion for Chinese service is $ 1-5. If your English is average, or you can't communicate in English, you can find the Chinese service at the front desk. If you feel satisfied, you can give a reward. After all, you are all from China, and it is still very hard to work in a foreign country.
6. The room cleaner spends 1-2 dollars on the bedside every morning and evening (generally twice a day). If you hang the "Do Not Disturb" sign, the room attendant will make a detour. If "tidy up the room" is hung or there is no sign, the room attendant will clean it. If there is such a demand, you can put $65,438+$0-2 neatly on the pillow or bedside table as a tip. The room attendant will also be happy to replenish fresh water and drinks for you in time.
7. The service fee is included in the ordering fee for meals on the island. If you meet a little black suit that you are super satisfied with, you can quietly put a tip of 65438 yuan +0-2 on the plate.
Besides, Madai has many dinners in personal tailor, such as candlelight dinners. It is suggested to tip the waiter $65438 +0-2 for single or double dinner.
8. If you can't snorkel in recreational activities, please ask a coach to guide you and help you take pictures. You can give some appropriately, suggesting 5- 10 dollars.
After finishing the SPA, you can give the spa a reward of 4-5 dollars.
When visiting the residential island, if Xiaohei takes you to eat fruit and pick coconuts, you can give 2-5 yuan.
To sum up, these are basically the situations that people will encounter on the island and need to tip, so it is enough to prepare a small denomination of 50- 100 US dollars. When checking in for other expenses, the hotel will pre-charge the credit card to authorize the bill consumption. Every time you spend money on the island, you need to sign a bill. Check the bill when you check out, and the remaining money will be returned to the card.
The second is: the cost of buying souvenirs and eating in the residents' island. If you want to buy some small commodities or souvenirs in Male or the residential island (the capital of Maldives), it is recommended to prepare 200-300 dollars in general. Cosmetics, jewelry and other slightly expensive items can generally be swiped.
To sum up: most of the preparations for traveling to Maldives are US dollars, that is, 50 US dollars tip +200 US dollars tip for residents' islands = 250 US dollars, that is, about 300 US dollars, which is usually enough.
Local tyrants are of course free, but it is recommended not to bring too much cash when going out.
