    Hey,

    I read a post from a year ago that said a guy tipped the front desk manager $20 after having waited 30 mins for a room and that tip got him on his way to a room in less than 5 minutes and a nicer room.. Any of you have experience with tipping to better your room/wait? I wouldn't mind tipping them to get on my way faster, but would really hate it if i tip them and end up with the same room, and having to wait aswell lol.

    money definitely talks...they love tips, but not all of them go for it. Just the majority

    I would pay more than just 20 bucks to get a room upgrade.

    definitely tip in advance. I remember tipping 20 bucks in advance and got drinks faster than i could even drink them :) Just like everyone else says, money definitely talks in cancun.
