Cash or Charge?

Author: Steven (---.anchorfabrication.com) Date:   06-23-08 14:16 Are credit card widely accepted on the island or would it be advisable to bring a fair amount of cash? I've gotten pretty accustomed to not taking cash anywhere and I've gotten burned or wasted time trying to find an ATM.

Author: Arroz (---.direcpc.com) Date:   06-23-08 15:19 In my experience, most of the restaurants accept cards as do two of the grocery stores (not sure about the other two, haven't tried them). However, if you buy food from a the vendors at Flamenco, better have cash. There is an ATM not far from the ferry dock at the Banco Popular.

Author: Debbie (---.sip.asm.bellsouth.net) Date:   06-24-08 18:20 We rarely carry cash. The larger restaurants all take credit. We've always been able to hit the ATM with no problems. Happy Diving! Debbie

Actually, what Frank really knows is I'm closed then ;) And...I don't take credit cards*...no phone, no electric, no cards. *unless you'd like to give me yours to use for a week or so...Frank.
