We are happy to advise that at O2 Beach Club & Spa a service charge is already included in your All-Inclusive room rate and the total amount goes directly to the hotel and back of house staff monthly.

However, if you feel you have had extra special service, you may tip hotel staff directly. Alternatively, you may choose to leave a team gratuity by handing an envelope to the Front Desk Manager labeled as such, and this will be shared with all hotel and back-of-house staff members.
