Some tipping questions--please advise me

[barackmyworld]

So, I am going to cancun in a couple hours. I am 19, and I do not have a lot of experience in the wide world of tipping. I've heard that one should tip the front desk clerk to get a nice hotel room. My questions are--1) how much, and 2) how should this physically go down. I don't want to seem sneaky.

Any advice appreciated!

1. This subject, my friend, is a can of worms

Good luck!

2. they get a cut from the escort agency

usually $100 of the $300

it's not uncommon to throw her a $50 spot in the event of really good service.

3. Whatever you do, be really careful about them scamming you

Mexican hotels are notorious for overcharging your credit card after you leave town.

4. I go to MX a lot and have never tipped the front

desk clerk. Do you already have a reservation? We do, however, tip the maid 10-20 pesos daily to clean your room and hopefully not touch or take your stuff. To date, we haven't had a problem.
