Gratuity actually IS included, but since the resort staff go above and beyond in so many ways, its always nice to throw a couple dollars their way if they provide great service. It also helps to tip early if you're looking for great poolisde/beach service all day long. That said, by no means are you required to tip waiters, maids, etc. At nightly rates of $200+ per person in January I don't want my guests thinking they HAVE to shell out more cash on top of that.
