Tipping in Puerto Rico

Customary: 15%–20%. As the mainland: 18-20% is expected and staff are paid on the assumption.

At restaurants

What is customary: A share of the bill, at any size

Worked example

On a $50.00 bill, 15% is $7.50, so you would hand over $57.50.

Tour guides

On a “free” walking tour, the tip is the fare: about $10.00 per person.

On a paid tour, 15%–20% of the price on top.

Guiding is a tipped job here on the same terms as waiting tables. Rainforest and bio-bay guides expect it.
