Have been to DR & Cuba and have always left gifts for the maids. Is this done in Jamaica? Do you have to leave a note saying its ok to take?

Hi, Caribbean_travelers!

No problem, mon! Very nice of you to want to give something during your vacation. When I brought gifts, I gave it to them personally, to make sure that the right person got it, and to have the chance to say thank you in person.

I went and bought some small lotions and perfumes from Victoria's Secret and gave them to those who made my stay really special; they seemed to be really happy with that. Someone else mentioned bringing scented candles or some type of homemade food like jelly, and that sounds really nice as well.

Whatever it is, I'm sure they will be very appreciative, and much respect to you for your kindness.

Hope that you have a great trip to paradise!!

-Leah
