Tipping at a cuban all-inclusive resort?

My wife and I have booked a week at Sandals Royal Hicacos in Cuba for the 23rd of February. I have done much research on the resort and others because we are first timers to the all-inclusive Caribbean travel. I am getting a lot of mixed views on 2 certain Q’s on sites such as tripadvisor and so on. I am hoping to find some help here if you could be so kind.

Q #1) My travel agent says to tip in Canadian Dollars which I believe is not so, because I think the loonie or twonie is virtually useless to the cuban staff as they cannot exchange coins. So I guess my Q is….What currancy?..How much?.. and How often?

Q #2) We have a gardenview suite which is the low end I think. This dosen’t matter to us since we don’t intend on being in our room much. But again our agent says there is a stocked (weekly) mini bar fridge in this room. When I checked this out it shows nothing for gardenview but in the premium and concierge have them. So my Q ….Is there a stocked fridge in the gardenview suites and if not can we get it stocked?

Thank You much for any help, and any other tips would be appreciated too.
