They will deduct it from your visa (for your convenience) and that is all I know. In relation to tipping any further…. we are not sure.

You can tip higher or lower depending on what you think is fair. We have always had wonderful service and tip very well since we feel the staff really goes all out to make our trip ultra uber memorable. Most of the staff are from other countries and they depend a lot on the tips since the pay isn't all that much. We don't feel we have to give, we do feel they deserve every penny especially when we saw some families who didn't show up the last meal so they didn't give a tip. Some, like us, gave them their tip the meal before since we usually dined in Palo's the last night.
