Banking and accessing funds are essential aspects of any traveler’s journey. Fortunately, managing your spending money while staying at Pinnacle Resorts in Puerto Vallarta is a breeze. Here are some helpful tips to assist you with the practicalities of your travel planning.
Puerto Vallarta has come a long way in terms of payment options. Most restaurants now accept credit cards, with Visa and Mastercard being widely accepted. Some may also take American Express, while Diner’s Club is rarely accepted. However, it’s always wise to have some cash on hand, especially at casual eateries, taco stands, and smaller family-owned establishments that only accept cash.
While most stores and restaurants in Puerto Vallarta accept USD, it’s recommended to carry Mexican pesos for convenience. Canadian dollars are not commonly accepted but can be easily exchanged for pesos at the various money exchange offices throughout the city.
Many visitors find that using their debit card at local ATMs is the most straightforward way to access cash during their stay. Some ATMs even offer USD withdrawal options for those who prefer it. Keep in mind that the ATM conversion rate may be less favorable than your bank’s rate. To avoid unfavorable rates, simply decline the machine’s exchange rate offer and proceed with your bank’s rate.
It’s important to note that traveler’s checks are not accepted in Puerto Vallarta.
