I’ve been here many times and this trip was wonderful. The sand for the beach is there (other years it was washed out to sea) so it made it a joy to walk around versus dodging everyone. We came durin…Full review by dogface1739

Thank you very much for answering my questions but I have one more. On average how much pesos should I bring on a 10-13 day trip? Or just for a beach day in Playa Norte please?

There’s a wide variety of options and most will take your credit card. So if you eat at a restaurant you don’t need cash. The bus to go around the island is 20 pesos. So round trip Punta Sur is 40 pesos on bus. Everything in Playa Norte is walkable and the street food is 20 to 60 pesos. I enjoyed the street food. What’s important about pesos is to have small bills and change. The vendors get frustrated if we hand them large bills for change even in the oxxo. Hope this helps Taxis also are cash and a shared taxi is cheaper and available….collectivo. If you have a Charles Schwab debit card you can use any bank ATM without fees. Always decline the bank exchange rate they offer you. So you could take out pesos as needed. I felt bad for a gal who exchanged money at a US airport before she got to Mexico for 3 peso difference than the airport in Mexico City. They told her the rate would be better. How many pesos for 13 days. Start with 5000? Almost $300. Tell your bank small bills. Bulky for us to carry though.
I'm planning a trip to Mexico and I'll be in Cancun and later Isla Mujeres, what is the best beach to visit on Isla Mujeres? I felt confident about Playa Norte till I read a review from jmeleeS which basically described my worst fear.

If you spend 300 pesos at Kin Ha Restaurant you can use the lounge chairs, umbrellas, kayaks, and jump off the pier into deep water. As of 9/2022 The bus can drop you off and pick you up or taxi as they go by all the time. Bus loops one way around from plays Norte south and back up to playa Norte on the rocky side of the island.
