Great advice all around. We also love Charela and the staff is unbeatable -- many of them have been there 20 plus years. And your recommendation on over-tipping is spot on. For the housekeepers, waiters, beach guys etc, a few extra dollars can make a big difference. At the end of our stay, I leave an envelope at the front desk to be passed around among the staff to tip the people you don't see (in the kitchen and the grounds keepers). And we can see directly how pleased and appreciative they all are -- and helps get everyone through the slow times in the summer.
