Tipping in St. Kitts
Hello, everyone!
I'm wondering about tipping the housekeeping staff at the Marriott in St. Kitts. Is it OK to tip using US currency or is it better to use EC?
Thanks!

They prefer US trust me. I had a table tip the staff 100 US one night and I was going to change it into EC so it would split easier. All wanted US.
Here is why:
Here in Nevis it isn't easy for a local to get US currency for travel when going abroad. They have to buy it at the bank and it is very expensive for them. Most will take the US as tips and never put it in a bank, save it so when they travel they have it. So note to everyone. Use $US for tipping, they will love ya for it.
