Bequia is a simple island and tipping is very much appreciated by the staff at the properties and in the restaurants. The average national wage seems to be somewhere between 15USD - 30USD a day.

For villa guests staying in St Vincent and The Grenadines we are often asked for some guides. 5 to 10 up to 15 - 20% Tip depending on the task and service is usual.

Given at an amount you feel comfortable with.
Tipping is a personal choice and it should be given for general good service throughout the days of your villa stay. It is usually anticipated at the end of the stay but we would recommend sprinkling a little along the way as you go.

Tip as you go...
We would encourage a gentle amount of tipping ongoing throughout your stay as this builds a feeling of mutual appreciation from day one. This makes for a great atmosphere where good service is seen to be clearly appreciated and will flourish.

Tip what you liked best
It also makes great sense to reward any specific action which you found particularly helpful or kind from your staff. This helps to reinforce the best bits of your staffs service and lets them know clearly what you really appreciate.

Make sure that you give the tip to the staff member personally rather than leaving it for them or giving it to another person - this saves any mix ups.
