we had 2 males clean our room for the 5 weeks we was in Bali, so remember they are not always maids(females)
As everyone has said they are happy with anything!
Make sure they have done a good job that is worthy of something as you wouldn't want to give them wrong idea if they are slack ;-)some can be good and some not so good, and make sure it goes to the right person too if they are on their day off that would be sad. We always wait till our last couple of days and go around and give to the ones who have been special this doesn't just mean the room cleaners, what about breakfast servers and the staff in general around the hotel who has also made your stay memorable and special.
I just got my 1st sms off one of the hotel staff for valentines day she use to make breakfast so special (ahhhhh I miss her, I wait at the breakfast table every morning and wonder why she isn't coming over to me:-( I wish she came home with me....I wish I was in Bali)
