i.e. do i have to exchange money as soon as i get there or do they accept american dollars and coins? also what are the prices like for example if i go to the drug store and buy a bottle of lotion what would it cost in comparison to here. thanks.

It’s a little tricky. There are money exchanges all over the place, but almost everywhere… what am I saying?… EVERYWHERE takes U.S. currency. I still exchange some and pay with whatever gets you the best deal. Some places give you good exchange rates, others don’t. I end up doing a lot of math as I am a penny pincher, LOL… Well a penny pincher who travels to Mexico often.
Your personal products cost more down there than here because they figure tourists will think it’s cheaper and not bring stuff with them, then what? Go without, most won’t so they pay a premium.
Enjoy Cancun… If you get a change, snorkel or dive Cozumel. It’s one of the best places in the world.

Spending dollars you will get a terrible exchange rate. Change cash to pesos at “casa de cambios” and get pesos at ATM’s

For the hotel zone you for the hotel zone you will charge to use but check to use but check to see what your bank will charge you for the atms give good exchange rate nor do.
