SMB Tip Number 82 :o : Cash Flow

A recent SMB bride wrote me today with some great insider information. If you believe you would like to have some cash on you during your trip to Mexico (pesos or dollars), get it prior to arriving at the resort. SMB does have an ATM on hand, but apparently it works only sometimes, and the front desk will charge you a whopping 10% fee (wow!) to withdraw money from your account. While you may not believe you'll need any cash, we have learned from countless blogs, forums, and emails, that a few dollar bills here and there can encourage things to happen more quickly (or, if you forget your sunscreen and need to purchase that $20 bottle from the gift shop, you won't have pay international credit card fees in the process). Just a little tip from the world we'll enter in approximately 65 days!

How much cash do you recommend I bring?

I would think that around $200 would suffice. They say to bring around $30 or so in $1's to tip the staff around the resort when they do a great job (go above and beyond) - but remember tipping is not required at an all-inclusive resort. It will just get you better/faster service, or so I have heard. :)
