    Ask at a BdeC. They may be willing to get them for you - a bigger one may even have them in stock

    But that's an awful lot of tips.......

    Have you looked at the exchange rates recently, a single dollar isn't much of a tip.

    Since the resort will be collecting lots of dollar bills I'm sure they will be happy to change larger notes for you.

    Tip in pesos as much as you can rather than dollars - although enough small change sometimes seems hard to get hold of.

    Marks and Spencers, good to tip in foreign bills as the locals live off the tips and usually work for board and lodgings.
