This resort was appalling in terms of crowds, food on offer and general atmosphere. To call any of the places here 'Beach Clubs 'is a real stretch of the imagination. The beach itself. was probably…Full review by Sally L
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.

We loved Playa Norte. We stayed right next to the cargo ferry, on the mainland side. It was very convenient for us, but our hotel was quite north of the regular passenger ferry. Was about $20 US, I used my credit card, didn’t have to have pesos for the ferry. It was a quick trip over and ferries ran frequently enough for us. Was a nice, smooth ride. There are lots of “beach clubs” on Playa Norte where you can rent a beach chair. They usually cost a small fee, plus they want you buy drinks and or food. I think we paid 450 pesos for 2 chairs, they did want cash for the chair rental. We ate lunch and had a couple of drinks, I used my credit card. We walked down the beach and chose a place that wasn’t too crowed or noisy. Some blast loud music. The water was a beautiful blue and quite shallow for a ways out. We enjoyed it. Hopefully this helps. Feel free to reach out to me. You will need pesos though. Some of the restaurants and smaller bars only take pesos. There are ATMs on Isla Mujeres.
