Hotel Service Charge - what does/doesn't it cover in your opinion?

Hi -

Apologies if this has been covered, but didn't see anything definitive in a search of the forums.

Will be staying at a resort where the hotel charges a 15% service charge in addition to the room rate and taxes. Doesn't seem to be a resort charge which typically covers access to the gym and other activities.

I know its debatable where this really goes, but how do you handle it? Do you you still leave tips for housekeeping? Bellmen? Towel service at the pool?

Thanks
