Holiday money for Mexico

I am shortly going to Playacar in Mexico staying at an all inclusive resort. Could anyone help - do I take Dollars, Sterling or local currency? Would a Post Office Travel card be of use?:cool:

The advise I have been given so far is so varied and just thought there might be someone out there with recent experience of travelling to Mexico who could help.

Thanks in advance

:confused:

    Hi

    We went to Playacar last year and took a mixture of USD and Pesos. Both were accepted everywhere.

    Have a great time.
  • They do love their dollars over there and most retail shops are priced in dollars, however markets and the like will accept any currency you chuck at them.

    We got a far better rate when we exchanged sterling ( into US DOLLARS) at our hotel in Playacar than we did back in the UK beforehand.
  • Thanks to all for your helpfull replies.
