Visit Costa Rica - Do You Tip in Costa Rica?

Visiting Costa Rica is Amazing with Incredible Beaches, Surfing, Volcanoes like Arenal & So Much More. But Do You Tip When You Are in Costa Rica? You Do Tip Your Guides, However at The Restaurants You Do Not Have to Tip as There is a 10% Service Fee Added on To Your Bill. You can always throw 5-10% on top of that 10% if you like, but the locals tend not to tip on top of the already included 10%.
