Should I tip?
Tico skilled and unskilled wages are a fraction of what most of the rest of the world pays...however, it is not cheap to live in Costa Rica.  Kindness and generosity is always appreciated.
  • Your restaurant bill will include a 13% sales tax and a 10% service fee/tip.  We personally tip an extra 10% when the service and/or food is good.  
  • We tip 10-20% to non-food service providers, i.e. taxi drivers, tour guides, etc.  ​
  • Offshore fishing trip tipping standard is 15-20%, minimum $50 ea. to Captain & Mate please. Sharing fish with crew is appreciated, but not mandatory.
