Can someone help me on what is the proper tipping amount

I am going back to Aruba again, and have not found not how much to leave for tips. Every bar or restaurant I went to included a %16 percent tip. But when the bill was brought to my table it was marked in bold black letters for another tip. Everywhere in the world I have gone to so far, when the tip is included , that was it. But if you tip another %20 on top of the %16 then Aruba becomes very expensive and you are tipping %36 percent . I ask a few times, and was told the the bar/restaurant/hotel collects these tips, keeps them, and does not give them to the employee's, and this was upsetting to me. I have ask other people who have visited Aruba and all have said it made their trip unfomfortable also.

Any help in this area please.

Thanks,
Brad
