Tipping is not compulsory but the resort has a Fijian staff tip box in the office and all funds are distributed at the end of the week. A typical amount is $50-100USD per guest. We particularly request that guests do not make gifts of alcohol to the Fijian staff, as staff members are strictly prohibited the consumption of alcohol on the Island. Please also let management know if you’re giving an item to a staff member as a personal gift, otherwise we may think you left it behind unintentionally. Our surf guides, fisherman, doctor/medic and yoga instructor are here on an unpaid basis so tipping here is at your discretion also and greatly appreciated. You can tip these volunteers in cash in person - $20-$100USD each or you might contribute to the payment of their bar tab. Alcohol gifts are ok for volunteers. When tipping fishing charter guides or outside tours we recommend 10-20% of the value of trip total. We also have a Village School Fund which is donated to our local charity to help with school supplies and uniforms for the kids related to Namotu Island $20USD. You can ask about this at the office.
