Just wondering if we should use only peso's, for payments for Boobs Cruise, tips, shopping. If we convert to US dollar we lose 25-30%. USA Transfers also takes Canadian money as well. Advice?

Boobs Cruise has to be paid in US only we thought. We are bringing Boobs Cruise money in US and everything else in peso. We did it yesterday so we got whohoooo 80.5 cents on the dollar for US. Just trying to get the best without leaving it to the last minute.

Actually you can pay in Pesos or CDN but the exchange rate fluctuates so I cant say an exact price until the day, but whatever is the equivalent of $110 USD.

We all suffer the exchange blues, however unless you plan on doing a ton of shopping, you really should not need a ton of dough! it is after all all inclusive. As for shopping, our experience is that goods are the same price as in Canada now with the exchange. the local market outside TTR is ridiculously cheap for souvenirs too, exchange or not, but bring pesos for that (and know your conversion and haggle even if you think its a good deal, its part of life there and can be quite entertaining) Duty free, depending on how you fly......, buy from the airline duty free in CAD$. Tips should not make you crazy either, all staff appreciate the tip but its not expected, tip the pool bartenders $20 + when you arrive and tell them what you want, tell them your name and remember theirs, they will recognize you all week. they are awesome. Find us, we are premier memebers and happy to get you top shelf liquor. Its gonna be an awesome

time, dont sweat the $$, Like G&M we can just make more and in 3 months you will only remember how you want to go back!! Cheers Roger and Sarvy

Glenn and Monique bring 100.00 a day for tipping bartenders and staff. If we stay at the resort the bartenders and staff do well. If we leave then others on the cruise or whatever then that staff or bartenders do well too. Basically that is how we budget it. 100.00 a day and it works well. We also bring money down for Chinos Cancer cause and will be sending a kid to Disney this year as well.
