Panama Tipping / Gratuity guidelines
Taxi
Drivers do not expect tips. Any intended gratuity should be figured
in with the pre-trip negotiated fare.
Hotel
Generally, a 10 percent service charge is figured into the overall
tab. Tipping individual staff directly is sometimes appropriate.
Hotel Porters
50 to 75 cents per piece.
Hotel
Chambermaids
Usually over-looked, probably those most deserving of a gratuity.
$1/ day would be a nice tip.
Restaurant
If a restaurant does not include a service charge, tip 10 to 15 percent.
