Pesos
Exchanging dollars for pesos is very easy, but not really necessary. Practically everyone on Cozumel will gladly accept dollars for payment. If you wish to exchange money, the best rate will be found at the banks, but there are several exchange houses all over town. The hotels usually offer a lower rate of exchange. Be wise and carry a small calculator to help you do quick calculations.

The easiest way to get pesos is to use the ATM machines. The ATMs are conveniently located in town and provide pesos at the current exchange rate. Just remember that you will be receiving pesos, so request enough to avoid a second transaction. A peso is roughly 10% of a U.S. dollar.

Tipping
As in the U.S., it is customary to offer a gratuity to waiters, bellmen, etc. Here are a few suggestions for tipping:
servers

15-20% of meal

bellmen
$0.75-$1.00 per bag
maids
$1.00 per person, per day
dive guides  
snorkel guides
boat captains
tour guides
10-15% of cost of the trip, if the quality of the service  received was professional, safe, and enjoyable.
 
Quick Tip: Bring about $25 in $1-bills to make quick change. You will find most places unable to make change for large bills.
