Firstly, if a bellhop assists you to or from your room with luggage you should tip them 2 or 3 dollars (around 40 to 60 pesos) for their help or more. Likewise the housekeeping staff should be tipped 2 to 3 dollars (40 to 60 pesos) daily.
Is $2 a good tip in Mexico? It is not necessary to tip an additional amount. A minimum of $1-$2 U.S. (20-40 pesos) per round of drinks is customary, or if you're running a tab, leave 15-20% of the total as a tip.

Restaurants: For good service, a 10% tip is standard. For really good service, anything between 15% and 20% is acceptable. Street food: Again, tipping is not required or expected, but it is appreciated (saying “keep the change” is sufficient). Taxis: If the driver helps with bags, 10–20 pesos is a good tip.

To make things easier we have drafted a rough guide on how much to tip when staying in Cancun. When drinking at either your All Inclusive Resorts Hotel or in Cancun's infamous Party Zone, it's customary to tip from $1 per round of drinks.

Ideal places to make change You can take large bills to any retail bank and ask for change, and by law you don't have to be a customer of the bank to request change from them—but this is time consuming as lines tend to be long, especially on paydays, and it just isn't convenient to do each time you need change.

For a tour that only lasts a few hours, tip your guide 10 percent to 20 percent the cost of the tour. How much you tip also depends on the size of your tour, so you should tip more for a more personalized experience. For a multi-day tour, you should tip your guide $5 to $10 per day on the last day.
