Cash
Paying cash in hotels and/or resorts, same with purchases of other goods have not worked well for me here, as cash is just too damn tempting for employees. The hotel, the shop, the establishment, the country is not really the point I don't think. It's the integrity of the employee. Of course it reflects on the hotel/business. Maybe you can argue it's a hiring, screening or training issue but when someone flops cash down on the counter that represents big money to the receiving employee it is certainly a temptation , and cash is cash, with or without receipts, and can't be trailed as easily, or canceled as readily as credit cards. And if the employee gets fired, even if it's 'justa causa', they still win a lot of court cases on technicalities. Most companies don't even bother if they have a lot of employees, they pay the legal requirements and move on. I guess they/we find it worth it.
All that said, I agree with Chiri not posting the hotel's name.
