Cozumel Bar Hop: Pesos or USD at bars

[MillieElaine]

DH and I are doing the Cozumel Bar Hop on an upcoming cruise. Has anyone paid for the drinks in pesos at the bar.? If not, does anyone know what the conversion rate is at the bars, such 10:1 pesos to usd? Just trying to figure out if it's worth exchanging some currency. We are very excited for this excursion.

Bring lots of small bills - $5's and $1's ;)

Conversion rates change frequently. Just google and you can get the current rate.

 

Had somewhat of the same question myself as to whether or not buy pesos in advance because I did see some reviews here that the conversion rates offered at the restaurants for paying with USD and not pesos was very unfavorable.

 

That said, knowing you are going to have to pay some level of conversion rate to a bank or airport kiosk, not sure it's worth the worry and hassle to buy pesos in advance and then maybe having to sell what you don't use back, at a cost, after the trip.

 

I agree with one of the posters above...keep it simple and bring USD in smaller bills. Depending upon what you spend you might end up losing $5-$10 in conversion money, but it's not worth it IMHO with the hassle it brings.
