my husband always tips our room boy after a couple of days,about £3,and then at intervals through the holiday.bribing? maybe but i would rather have my room well cleaned as we will tip anyway and this gives them the incentive.i always find it amusing that people often tip the towel boy more than their room boy,who in my opinion has the harder job! and its bribing the towel boy to reserve the "free sunbeds" with a daily/occasional tip!
