J'aimerais savoir s'il est mieux d'apporter des dollars canadiens ou américains. Les pourboires vous les laissez en pesos ou en canadiens ou américains ?
S'amener au Mexique avec des dollars US, c'est très bien pour:faire vivre les agents de change si on veut avoir des pesos (et tu as déjà payé des frais de change pour avoir ces dollars USse poser en vrai gringo si on paie avec cette devise.
Mon conseil du jour: emporter un peu d'argent de chez soi (Euro ou CAD ou...) que l'on dissimule sur soi et qui servira uniquement en cas;
et retirer aux DAB, avec carte de crédit, les sommes nécessaires au séjour .
Des DAB (distributeur automatique de billets), il y en a partout; privilégier ceux qui ne sont pas en rue: aéroport, sas d'entrée des banques....
Avantage: le taux est officiel et la commission aussi.
juste 2/3 reflexions pour vous aider a prendre une décision : Ou partez-vous et quel genre de voyage ? All-Inclusive dans une zone touristique ou circuit en individuel au travers du Mexique . Aurez vous plusieurs petites dépenses a faire ( achat de souvenirs ), ou plusieurs grosses depenses ( paiement d'hotels ou loc. de voiture )
Ici sur la Rivera Maya, dans les villes touristiques ( Cancun, Puerto Morelos, Playa ; Tulum ) les Usd, Cad et Euros sont acceptés dans tous les commerces importants . Dans les petites boutiques et restos, l'usd est accepté, les autres ne sont pas tres connues, donc rejetées .
Attention au taux de change, par exemple a Coba ( entrée du site, guide, restos sur le site ) recevront les devises a un taux d'usurier : il n'y a pas de maison de change a proximité .
En résumé : usd, cad ou euros, en petites coupures . Changez - en une partie apres avoir vu différents taux de change ( pensez a jeter un coup d'oeil sur Internet pour avoir une idée du cours officiel : yahoo.com.mx section finanzas par ex.) . Sachez aussi que les pieces ne sont pas appréciées ( surtout dans les pourboires ... ) car impossible a changer ensuite . Pensez a bien discuter avec votre banque des conditions de change et frais de retrait a l'étranger .
Je ne comprend même pas pourquoi on se pose la question...au mexique c'est le peso, payez donc dans la monnaie locale...
Comme dis plus haut c'est le meilleur moyen de passer pour un gringo.
Bien sûr que la monnaie est, reste et restera ( esperons-le ) le Peso .
Les conseils etaient surtout pour faciliter l'organisation du séjour .
Quant a etre pris pour un gringo ( ou pour un Mexicain ), il ne suffit peut etre pas de payer en pesos ...😉
L'idéal est d'aller dans une banque ou une caisse à montreal et d'echanger des dollars canadiens pour des pesos et si vous en manquer la bas juste aller en retirer dans un guichet aut. soit avec votre carte de crédit soit avec votre carte accesd.
bonjour je vais au mexique 4 fois par annee et c est las bas que vous changer votre argent canadienne pour des pesos le taux est meilleur et pourquoi transferer du canadien pour americain et ensuite pesos bon voyage
Si un canadien - par exemple - vous demandait quelle monnaie utiliser en France, lui répondriez-vous qu'il faut avoir sur soi des dollars US? Non, bien sûr.
Au mexique, c'est pareil, on paie avec la monnaie du pays, soit le peso.
Si vous souhaitez emporter des dollars, libre à vous mais attendez vous à payer les prix reservés aux touristes peu débrouillards et non ceux appliqués au reste de la population.
Il y a des DAB presque partout. Préférez cette option!
I’m planning to go to an all-inclusive resort next April. I know it’s the start of sargassum season, but I was wondering if it really affects swimming. Do hotels clean the beach? Is it still possible to swim?
I’d like to book an all-inclusive trip next April. My criteria: 1) no sargassum, 2) 4 stars or higher, 3) ability to snorkel right from the hotel beach, and 4) safe.
Hey, I’d like to know which hotel in the south doesn’t force you to wake up at 4 AM just to reserve a shady chair, whether it’s at the beach or the pool.
Hi,
For my husband's 50th birthday, we're going to Mombasa for 10 days and 8 nights in March 2026.
I found a hotel, the Kappa Club Crystal Bay Resort, and online reviews for this hotel recommend a guide named Omar. I contacted him via WhatsApp, and he's offering a 2-day, 1-night safari in Tsavo East, a "blue safari," and a Marafa Canyon day trip for 400 € per person.
I’m asking for help from people who’ve already done these excursions because I have no idea what these offers entail.
Thank you for any advice you can give me about this trip.

Hi everyone, I’m writing here because I’m really torn—I want to go on a trip. A vacation? 10 to 12 days, maybe 14 days. Starting March 14th. I’m in a wheelchair but completely independent. I was thinking of going to Martinique, but apparently, the hotels aren’t all-inclusive, which might be a hassle. If you have any advice, that’d be great. Otherwise, I was considering Mexico—a long-time dream. At an all-inclusive hotel with accessibility on one level (since I’m independent but in a wheelchair). Do you know of any nice, budget-friendly hotels with activities in Mexico? Or Zanzibar is also an option for me, same idea.
Thanks in advance for your help! If you have any tips, that would be amazing so I can finally make up my mind and plan my trip without too much stress. I’m looking ahead so I have plenty of time. Feel free to ask questions if you’d like. Thanks for your feedback, have a great evening!
Hi everyone,
happy to be back on this site.
I’m tired of spending hours and hours searching for all-inclusive hotels for my first trip to Mexico to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary.
Can anyone recommend 5 or 6 hotel names that meet the following criteria? (I’m not too picky, lol)
1. All-inclusive
2. Adults-only
3. Beautiful beach and pool
4. Hotel for relaxing (no "factory hotels")
5. One-week stay in February 2026
6. A nice hotel (3 or 4 stars) but no need for an ultra-palace
Oh, and I almost forgot the main thing 😉: budget between 3500 € and 4000 € for two, including flights from Montreal-Mexico-Montreal.
Thanks to all of you for your recommendations!

I’m looking into November (first, will it be warm enough for snorkeling in Sharm El Sheikh?) and especially for feedback on hotels. I’ve read that the clientele is mostly Italian or Russian. Are there any French-speaking hotels—or at least mixed ones?
We’re a retired couple and are looking for a hotel around 1,000 € per week.
We’ll be in Cairo beforehand and will take a domestic flight.
Thanks in advance.
We’re thinking of booking an "all-inclusive" trip so we don’t have to worry too much... for a week at the beginning of next September, but we’re torn between several destinations: Crete? Cyprus? Sicily? Sardinia? The only thing we’re really looking for is sunshine. Thanks in advance for any tips you can share!
Hi there,
I’m planning a stay at the Sian Kan in the Riviera Maya and was wondering if anyone’s been there recently. If so, are the location, welcome, services, and food still as excellent as they used to be? I’ve heard that since the train between Cancun and Tulum was built, things might have gone downhill.
Thanks for your feedback!

Hi there, I’m a 43-year-old woman planning to travel solo in early March. I’m not really into "commercial resorts," but if I find a place that fits my criteria, I might be interested. To add to the info in the title, I’m open to various activities, but ideally, it’d include snorkeling, hiking, dance (every evening if possible!), group tours, etc. I’d love to meet people (not necessarily a man—just people in general!). I’m not necessarily aiming for the cheapest resort, but since it’s spring break week and everything’s already pricier, 5-star options are probably out of the question. Thanks!
Hello!
What a pleasure to be back on Voyage Forum!
We’ll be in Venice from March 20th to 24th, and I’m looking (for two couples) for a hotel close to St. Mark’s Square—my husband can’t walk long distances. For four nights with breakfast, our budget is around 1,400 € per couple. To avoid too much walking for him, I’d also prefer a hotel where we could potentially eat dinner in the evenings.
If anyone has any recommendations, thank you in advance to those who reply!
We’re planning a week-long trip to Iceland to see the Northern Lights.
We’re looking at staying from March 22nd to 30th: will we still be able to see the Northern Lights, or is it too late in the season?
We found a deal on Voyage Privé that seems like a good price, with a hotel in Reykjavik. If we rent a car, are there any interesting sites we can visit during the day, since we’re tied to returning to Reykjavik every night—or else we’d lose our nights at the hotel!
Hi,
I was planning a trip to Hurghada at the end of March, but it's the end of Ramadan.
Some people are telling me I should avoid it.
What do you think?
Thanks
Hi
I can’t manage to get in touch directly with one of the hotels in Prachuap...
like Prachuap Grand Hotel or Prachuap Beach Hotel...
has anyone been there recently?
or have any info?
Thanks everyone...
Hi there,
We’re heading to Argentina and Chile in February 2025. I’d love to know if it’s recommended to book accommodations (hotels, guesthouses, etc.) in advance, especially in Patagonia? Thanks for your tips!
Hi everyone,
I’d like to book 2 nights at a camp inside Etosha (Halali).
However, online, I’ve found two sites for making this reservation:
The first is the Etosha National Park site: https://etoshanationalpark.co.za
You can’t pay online there—you just submit a reservation request (enquiry).
The second is the NWR (Namibia Wildlife Resorts) site: https://www.nwr.com.na, where you *can* pay online.
Is the latter one reliable?
Thanks so much for your tips!
