Yes, in Jamaica it is customary to tip. Tipping is a way to say thank you for good service and hospitality. It is recommended to tip 10-15% in restaurants, bars and cafes if a service charge is not already included in the bill. It is also appropriate to tip tour guides, cab drivers and hotel staff who provide excellent service. However, tipping is not expected for every service and is at the discretion of the individual, depending on the quality of service received.
