Question
Is Isla Mujeres safe?
Answer
Yes! Isla Mujeres is a small island that is for the most part free of crime. There is a reasonably large navy base on the island, which is a great presence when it comes to keeping things very tranquil locally.
Question
How do I pay for things in Isla?
Answer
The Mexican peso is the standard currency used in Mexico. Everyone in Cancun and in Isla will take US dollars or Mexico pesos. However, we recommend always paying in pesos. To get the best exchange rate, we recommend either getting pesos from your bank in the states (Bank of America has great rates) or taking your pesos from the ATMs on the island. There are several banks on Isla with ATM machines (in English and Spanish). Also many establishments do not accept credit cards (due to the higher transaction fees in Mexico).
Question
Can I drink the water?
Answer
We wouldn't! However, ALL of the local establishments outsource their ice to the two main ice factories here on the island which provide filtered ice. So, you can drink your cocktail without concern :)
Question
What should I pack?
Answer
Don't forget a light jacket or sweater! The island can be breezy at times. If you forgot something, no worries! There is a large supermarket that you can purchase almost anything. Cocktail attire is suggested on our wedding day! Heels are OK, we will not be walking on soft sand.
Question
ARE KIDS WELCOME?
