Hi Zards, The best to give as a “tip” is money. Don´t give
cigarettes (health) !!. To the room staff it is best to give them
something at the beginning of your stay,your room will be spotless! Some clothing for kids ( maybe)? school materials are also welcome I think.
Enjoy your stay!

Cash, Cash and more cash. They make little money in the DR and $$$ are appreciated.

We did a tour in Puerto Plata and we gave the small kids candy and gum. But you can buy that there.

We are from USA so we also bring baseball hats and t-shirts from our state to give to the workers. They love it.

But money is the best gift.)
