pliskin Posted December 5, 2011 #1 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I will be traveling to Costa Maya, Mexico; Belize; Roatan and Cozumel. My question is, will we be OK with the US Dollar in these ports or do we have to exchange money? Most places I've been have accepted dollars but I wasn't sure about these ports. Thanks!

We went to all of these places last Jan. We used US dollars everywhere we went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted December 5, 2011 #3 Share Posted December 5, 2011 US dollars will be accepted everywhere. If you are making a large purchase, you may want to compare the exchange rate the vendor is giving to the rate at a bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Keith1010 Posted December 5, 2011 #5 Share Posted December 5, 2011 As mentioned, USA currency is perfectly fine. Enjoy! Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie J. Posted December 5, 2011 #6 Share Posted December 5, 2011 You can also use Visa, Mastercard, etc. and even a debit card in most places. However if you're going to use a credit card it is a good idea to let your card company know you may buy something in these countries- internationally. Otherwise your purchase may be declined.

rvsullivan Posted December 5, 2011 #7 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Also, make sure you have smaller bills, 5-10-20's, large bills might get you change in the local currency. You don't want that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moniquet Posted December 5, 2011 #8 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Also, make sure you have smaller bills, 5-10-20's, large bills might get you change in the local currency. You don't want that. Yes, sound advice. We were sitting next to a couple on a beach in St. Thomas. The guy went into a hotel for two drinks and paid with a $100 bill. All his change was given in local currency! He then had to change it back to $ at the port and made a considerable loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
