    Guaranteed Rates Ect Etc

    We are Premiere Members and are going Xmas thru New Years this time around, our contract for the room was exactly what the contract states it must be. The all inclusive fee (food & drink) did up quite a bit. If you read your contract closely it CAN potentially go up based upon the Mexican equivalent of the "consumer price index of mexico". I'm Rainman when it comes to numbers and calculations and I did my research to find the AI fee went up slightly more than did the CPI for the same time frame, but it didn't amount to enough to push the issue.
    The biggest increase (which is legit) is the change in the Mexican Hotel Tax which is now 19% (up from 14% in 2011). And unfortunately we have no say in that one unless you become a Mexican citizen and start voting ! They will feel the pain when people fight back by not visiting Cancun perhaps.

    Convert to pesos instead of the U.S. Dollars. We bring some U.S. But mostly pesos nowadays. We went to Oklahoma last weekend and for 600.00 U.S. Only got 440.00. Our dollar went up today to a whole .77 cents. Whohoo.

    We used this company last time to obtain Peso's and found their rate better than the bank. They have locations at most of the larger Canadian airports.

    ICE - International Currency Exchange

    I was shocked that the US Dollar vs Peso exchange had increased. Oh my, $1 US Dollar equals 16.54 Mexican Pesos ! I don't think I can recall it ever being that high.
