    Does anyone know if the resort will make change in American for tipping? For example, provide $20 American in $1 bills for a $20 American bill.

    I guess I'm a little worried that it's one of those situations where they know you are stuck and they say that they only exchange into pesos or something crazy like that. I totally agree with you that money is money and it "shouldn't" be a problem. You'll have to pardon my lack of faith in humanity, lol

    .
    In our experience, what will happen is, you go into the little store (or the jewelry store, whatever) and you use your $USD to buy something, and they give you back change in pesos, which you then use to tip....

    Or, on your way there, you break a $20-spot or aC-note if you Be A Playa!

    Then, you got all the tip cash you need in order to get them to allow you to put your wife or new BFF's chick on the bar for a naked bodyshot.

    Yes they do. It is sometimes a better exchange rate than the banks......

    They are always short on small peso notes (ie. $20's)

    I suggest bringing them with you or you are always going back to the desk....

    Go to one of the bartenders. The front desk is worthless.

    That said, like many people, I bring all my tipping money in low denom bills with me....getting change in Mexico...even peso bills suitable for tipping can be troublesome, even at a bank. Why waste vaca time looking to break a $20...just bring a wad of 1's and 5's with you is what I do.

    Using the bartenders is a good idea. I went to the bank today to get small bills and they barely had any so we have a bunch of 10s and 20s

    Bring a lot of small bills from home. The front desk will only exchange for pesos. I usually bring three or four hundred in small bills 1s 2s and 5s. I almost always bring money home.

    The bartenders will usually switch your pesos with their tip money.
