Question Tipping... how much?

Looking for a bit of guidance...

I've read through some trip reports on here and notes on other sites and I don't get a real sense on what the approriate tip is for various services. I do get you should tip as you would anywhere else in the world for good service, but I'm not sure how much is approriate. Is a few US dollars ok, or should it be closer to $5. Also is it ok to tip in USD or should it be in pesos? I don't want to be disrespectful as I know tipping is important so your help would be appreciated.

Can someone help me out with what would be appreciated by the receipient in the following areas:

Housekeeping @ AI resort
Bartender @ AI resort
**Is there anyone else we should be tipping in an AI resort?
Guide on a tour
Tour Driver - not a cabbie (ie from airport to resort or from resort to a activity)
Also if we were to take a cab (which we would probably only do in a pinch as it seems like there are plenty of other easily accesibly ways to travel) do you tip them too?

Thanks in advance for your words of wisdom!

Cheers,
Katie
