Suggested Gratuity Guide

Members often ask about the proper amount to tip cabana crew and other beach club staff members. For your convenience, the following is a suggested gratuity guide.

The cabana crew are responsible for keeping lockers, showers, cabanas, courts and beaches clean. They set up and put away the cabana seating each day, as well as all lounge chairs and umbrellas on the beach and in the courts. When tip day comes around, please take into consideration any special services the crew performs for you, such as filling and emptying your kiddie pool, making sure any personal cushions are placed on your lounge chairs and put away safely, or taking your kids to the restaurants to choose ice cream. The cabana and locker crew work in teams in each court or lockers section. Because of this, you need only tip one crew member from your court. When the crew members provide food delivery service from the restaurant for you, please tip as you would if being served in a restaurant.

If the cabana crew is not performing to your expectations, don’t hesitate to bring this to their attention. If the problem persists, please bring it to the attention of our management team.
