Do you tip housekeeping in Mexico?

Short answer

$40–100 MXN per night

40–100 pesos a night, left daily.

CommonCash preferred

Housekeeping tips are genuinely expected in Mexican hotels and resorts, and staff rotate between rooms, so leave it each day rather than at the end. Leave it somewhere obvious with a note so it isn't mistaken for forgotten money.

Cash or card?

Card terminals ask '¿propina?' and let you add a percentage, but cash, ideally pesos rather than dollars, reaches staff more directly.
