Do I need to tip for carrying luggage at Soneva Jani Island Hotel?

Tips are required for porters of luggage at Soneva Jani Hotel.

1. Help carry luggage when checking in at the hotel

Tip suggestion: about 2 US dollars. Generally, when checking in, the hotel staff will have already moved your luggage to the door of your room. When everyone walks to the room, the staff delivering the luggage has already left. If you encounter someone on the way to the room, Remember to give them 1-2 US dollars, this is very important to them, this fee cannot be saved.

2. Butler

It is recommended to tip 5 to 10 US dollars (the rich are free to do so). On the day you arrive on the island, the butler will introduce you to the rooms, facilities and meals, which is quite tiring. After the butler introduces you, you can just tip once to express your gratitude. For islands with a personal butler, he or she will be responsible for all activities and meals on your island.
