How much spending cash do I need for two people in Cancun?

We'll be flying in friday and leaving monday afternoon. The hotel and flight package is $1430. I'll have about $500 cash left. Will we make it on that? How much does that translate into pesos?

You should be fine. Expect a $20 dollar ride from the airport to your hotel, and be judicious with your cash. The taxi guys will be very agressive with you once you clear customs, be sure that you pay for your trip inside (counters on your right as you leave from baggage claim), each is as good as the next. When you get outside, don't let anyone grab your bag. There are guys just waiting to walk your bag to the cab from that door, all of 20 feet, and they'll expect a tip.





If you are staying at an all-inclusive resort, you'll be golden. Just try to eat your meals on property. If not, check with your concierge for budget meal options.





Make sure you keep enough cash for the return trip to the airport!





Translates roughly 10-1, or 5000 pesos.
