The currency in Mexico is the Mexican Peso. The exchange rate is about 19 pesos per US dollar.

You can exchange money at the airport, hotels or currency exchange houses.

Most times you will be able to pay in dollars if you don't have pesos with you.

Credit cards are generally accepted. For taxis you will need cash.

Tipping between 10-15% of the bill is customary in restaurants in Mexico.

In hotels the staff will appreciate when good service is recognized by tipping even when rates "include tips".

If you are eating out, check your bill to make sure if they already included the tip in the final price in which case there is no need to add an extra.

In Mexico (Playa del Carmen included), the standard voltage is 127 V and the frequency is 60 Hz. You can use your electric appliances in Mexico, if the standard voltage in your country is in between 110 - 127 V (as is in the US, Canada and most South American countries).

June marks the start of the summer season in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, and the temperatures are warm at this time of year. Summer is also the rainy season. Despite this, the days are still long and filled with sunshine, and there is plenty to see and do around town.

Average temperatures in June sit at around 28°C/82° F, though they can rise to 32°C/89° F during the hotter parts of the day. The evenings and nights in June are very pleasant with low temperatures rarely dropping below 25°C/77° F. This means that you won't need to pack any thick layers unless you want to.

Please do remember to pack plenty of sunscreen as the sun is strong this time of year :)
