Traveling to Cancun, Mexico next week.. A few questions

Yes. Bring lots of cash if you want preferential treatment

Waiting on the get out of the resort and go out and mingle with the locals and watch people cook tamales in their front yard crowd.

OP, a couple hundred bucks would probably be fine

We were thinking like $200 in $1. We won't bring much more than that

You need money to buy yourself out of jail

Some places you'll have the same servers all week. If so, give them a big tip the first day. They will give you service ahead of others and maybe even extras you didn't upgrade for.

Also, don't go anywhere overseas with only $100 cash.

I would bring at least $1000 just in case. You may need some to buy drinks and stuff at the airport waiting for your ride.

Also, go to the bank and get a bunch of small bills. It's hard for them to break large bills and you don't want to end up with a ton of pesos.

This. $1000 may be steep depending on days there and how much you drink.

Tipping well is the difference in shots of "Cuervo" or bottles that say "Tequila". And beer. Good corona or cheap corona. There IS a difference. A couple bucks with every round is going to make a huge difference.

Remember to hoard bottled water. Leave a bottle on the sink for brushing teeth and in shower for rinsing mouth, if you do so in the shower. Or washing your face if you have a beard.

Good resorts have what you need for montezuma in their gift shop. Cipro or Bactrim and Imodium.

What resort?

We are staying at the Finest Resort, Playa Mujeres Mexico in July.

It is an all inclusive about 40 miles outside of Cancun

As far as drinking the water at the resort... I know not to drink tap water. So we will only drink bottles water. We will put travel notices on our credit cards. What about cell phones? What should we do about that?

So if we are on airplane mode using wifi and we text or FaceTime someone will it use our data?
