Should I be tipping the bartenders, the maids, the restaurant servers? Please help.

Tip those who treat you well and you have direct contact with. The maids you don't often see but if they do a good job and things aren't missing ... leave something when you leave

Yes, I would tip them. This is what we do at an all-inclusive
Maid 2/3 dollars a day
Breakfast and Lunch 2/3 dollars each meal
Dinner 4/5 dollars
Drinks on the beach/pool 1 dollar a drink
Bartender if we are at the bar couple hours 5 dollars
Bell hop (2 suitcases) 4-5 dollars
We tip the cab drivers a couple of dollars
Shuttle drivers from the airport 2/4 dollar
Of course if the service is not there we don't.
We have always received good service in Mexico.
We bring 100 dollars in one dollar bills and twenty 5 dollar bills just for tipping for a week.

I would check with the management of the resort, because it might actually be against their policy for the employees to even accept the tips in the first place. Keep in mind that in alot of foreign countries tipping isnt really neccessary because the workers are paid accordingly. I have been to a couple of all inclusive resorts where it was against their policy to tip. We wouldnt want to get anyone in trouble or have any unconfortable situations.

tip anyone you feel deserves it as you would in the U.S. if you like the service then tip if you don't then don't i have stayed in resorts in Mexico and my family and i always tip as we do in the U.S. and i have always given tips to maids before they clean the room you know they always make an extra effort i think clean better and give more towels, which of course they have to if you request it but they normally don't get paid very well so i just like give a little more if i can have fun :)

I tip based on service throughout the hotel, everyone from the bartenders to the maids work hard, so I believe they deserve it.

Usually, all inclusive, means all inclusive, so tips are included too, unless they tell you..
But if you like somebody, or someone is doing an excellent job, it will be very nice from you to tip him/her.

When it's ALL INCLUSIVE it's all inclusive. But usually it states the exceptions. Ask whoever arranged the trip.
