    Just get pesos and take your bank card when you need extra cash (tell your bank). There really isn't a compelling reason you need to go the effort of getting USD as a Canadian (it's not even worth that much any more)!

    Paying with pesos & tipping with dollars seems to be general consenus. I'm going with this. Hopefully will have a few dollars left from Vegas :0

    Tipping in dollars is more powerful in cancun. It is like the difference between moet and laurent perrier. Lol

    Dollars or Peso's? INFO PLEASE!

    Hi there,

    My vacation to Cancun is fast approaching and my UK travelagents (Thomas Cook) have called me saying that in Cancun they now prefer the Peso as most clubs and bars wont accept Dollars?

    Is this the case?

    It;s not i dont trust them but i prefer to hear it from someone who is either in Cancun already or is due to go....or someone who knows a bit more!!

    Thanks
