Ideally, get local currency. Exchange rate is about 20 pesos to $1 USD
10% at restaurants or 5% if service is added to bill
Round up for Taxis
Bellmen $1-2 per bag (40 to 80 pesos per bag)
Driver for private airport transfer $2 (40 pesos) pp; for half day $4 (80 pesos) pp; for full day $8 )160 pesos) pp
Guide for airport transfer $2-3 pp (40 to 60 pesos); for half day $7-8; for full day $13-15 (260 to 300) per person
I have used a mix of peso and dollars depending on what I had available. I was told tipping in dollars was acceptable.
