Tipping etiquette...what do you think?

If you are not basing your tips on quality of service you only do harm to the whole industry in Negril. There are people that should get tips for their service and some that should not but if everyone based their tipping on service you would find the industry gets better. Do you ever go and offer the kitchen staff a tip?

I do for the resort where we go the most. Jennifer made me pretty much anything I asked for. She got a cash tip and one of the handbags we took for all the ladies last year.

I agree with this 100%, and practice it every day. It takes some really bad service for me to go below 10%, but great service gets 30% from me (depending on the total paid).
