Steve, can you shed some light on this. We were at the bank on Saturday, and the BF gets his tips and commissions in UDS..he went to have them deposited into his account and they said we don't accept uds anymore...WTF is that all about? Again, this place we call home was created for the US tourist, and now the banks don't take their currency anymore. I thought it had to do with the election and it would go back to normal. I guess not?!?
Cant really shed any light I'm afraid - presumably it's to do with money laundering. All I know is that we often used to take Dollars to the bank for exchange to Pesos. Then they stopped that and said you had to pay it into your account first and withdraw Pesos via the ATM, which wasnt too much of a problem since it went through immediately. But now they dont even allow that. The only way round it is to have a Dollar account with the bank. Will start a new thread in Life in Cancun.
i will be there sep 1-8. so we'll be leaving the day after ya'll get there.Were staying at the Barcelo Costa cancun!! Can't wait!!!!!
Alright mate....seen your post and thoought I would reply. We fly on the 31st of August pal. Going for 2 weeks so you arrive just as our 2nd week is starting. Hopefully by then, should no best places to go. I have been advised to take pesos but the hotel waiters prefer dollars. Loads of clubs to go to though as my mate has updated me. He has been twice in the last 2 years in September and had 1 hour of rain each time!! Getting excited now....only 2 of us though as 2 more backed out. Staying in the Gran Caribe resort.
Yea my advice would be just bring your bank card, I brung Pesos but got a very good rate in England. You will love it, like mentioned make sure you check out Downtown to as in my opinion the hotel zone gets very annoying after a short time.
Thank you.....you are right! I am sceduled to go in 3 weeks and the weather has been alright....i've been checking!! lol Anyway so YAH I am not as worried as I was before..... I was just wondering if you knew if the hotel would let you know if something was coming or if that would be your responsibility??? Any insight would be awesome! Thanks again in advance...
The weather has been a trillion times better then alright. It's freakin sunny, HOT and amazing. I think this week, there may have been two or three 10 min showers in the HZ. Guests were actually complaining of it being too hot. (people are never happy) If you are talking about showers, just bank on a 10 min shower ever day. The hotel will not nor will they know of any showers before you do. Keep an eye to the ocean cause that is where it comes from. Yesterday, it showered at the hotel I was at and it didn't at one three away. It's all hit or miss. BTW.. you can tan and burn in 10-20 min here....even on a cloudy day.
