I'll take Tyler's advice in tipping extra to housekeeping. I don't like having to ration our intake of water to avoid paying $14/additional bottle when a premium price is already being paid.
You're forgetting that any paid activity will include free water. So you don't need to ask for extras from the maids.
Of all the tropical resorts I've been to, I've never had a dehydration problem. Seriously, no $2K/night resort will charge you for water if you're actively spending money elsewhere in the resort.
