yes... at all inclusive where tips are already included, it is customary to add a little more. maybe $4 for a'la carte dinners, $2 buffet.

maid/housekeeper....if not at an all inclusive and if there is service every day, the tips can be something like $2 - $3 per person per day.
if at an all inclusive and tips are already supposedly included (like the tamarijn or divi) the housekeeper should get maybe a couple of dollars per day if the service is good. if service is great, tip more.

cab drivers....umm maybe 20% on regular taxi run $25% on multiple stop run 25% for a taxi sightseeing half day excursion.

bellman....$2 per large bag $10 max. (if he unpacks and puts away your stuff tip more )

this is a great topic that will have many many opinions

If you purchase an all inclusive package, do you still tip at resturarants?
