Tipping at Discovery Cove

We've got a cabana booked for our visit to Discovery Cove. Each cabana has a host that looks after you (restocking the snacks and drinks, etc.). Can anyone advise what an appropriate tip for a host would be please?

Thanks

We also gave ours $20. Not that they really did anything other than put drinks in the fridge once!

We also tipped $20, but as above they don't really do much.

I wouldn’t tip considering how much you’ve already paid for the cabana

I also agree that I wouldn't tip them the equivalent of £17 for putting the drinks that are free for everyone at DC in the fridge.

Ours was ace, went out of his way to bring gluten free snacks over for me, had a good chat with my son about the dolphins, made us a towel octopus, collected our photos for us so we didn't have to queue - really nice chap.

I've heard a similar story from a friend. Their host couldn't have been more helpful and my friend really appreciated her. It's one of the reasons why I asked the question, if our host is as helpful I want to make sure I don't make an ass of myself by not tipping appropriately
