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.
