I've never been to an all inclusive before, or even Mexico in general, so I was wondering what the general code of conduct on this sort of thing is.
When I was on my all inclusive cruise this past while the tipping was done at the end of the cruise, but it was still around 15%. I would say that's a good rule of thumb... bring a wad of US$1 bills man... they come in super handy for everything.

Also, if you stick to one bar and there's always the same bar tender, tip heavy when you first get served because they will take care of you big time. As in... triple highballs for single prices, sometimes free drinks, etc.
