    Either is fine. We're taking almost all USD.

    Use pesos at 13.185 per dollar. Prices will be marked in Pesos so the math is easy. IF you want to use dollars, merchants will not convert at 13.185. maybe 12 or even as bad as 11. You just have to do the math otherwise and can print this guide before you leave...

    Check with you bank to see what your daily ATM limit is and any fees or currency costs and get pesos from the ATMs. Not a bad idea to tell them when you will be there as well. :lurking:

    we use usd when we go there..if you don't go off the resort the only thing you will spend money on is tipping.
