I wasn't planning on bringing a lot of cash, as Desire is an all-inclusive resort, and we pre-paid for the ride to and from the airport. But I've been reading a lot of different reviews, and I'm hoping to get some consensus from this group.
I've read that I will need cash for tipping the waiters by the pool and at the restaurant, housekeeping and bartenders. Do people generally tip at the end of the trip, or with each service?
I'm a big believer in generous tipping, but I have a foolish newbie question: where on earth do you keep your cash at a clothing-optional resort?
I've also read that there are a lot of additional fees and charges that will need to be paid for (presumably added to our credit card bill), such as fees for reserving beach beds, fees for premium meals (not sure what this means), fees for premium liquor (not sure this will be an issue, as we're happy with the cheap stuff), and a fee for using a kayak (again, not a necessity, though it would be nice.)
Are there any other fees we should know about before we leave?
