Here now in PV. i didn't receive my atm card in time so i came with cash. Just returned from the plaza marina shopping center, located a block or so north of the marina entrance. There are 4 banks in the plaza, 3 of the 4 told me that they do not exchange dollars for pesos. Only Scotiabank would make the exchange. The person in the Bancomer bank told me that Scotiabank is now the only bank in PV that will exchange currency unless you have an account with the bank, then nearly all banks will exchange currencies.

Look for a currency exchange or bureau de change rather than a bank. Ask your hotel.

You just need a "casa de cambio" instead of a bank. They are all over town. Look for the signs hanging with the daily rates of various currencies posted.

If you are at a hotel, you can ask the front desk, some of them are willing to do exchanges and have decent rates.

Another way is to shop at a major grocery store like Soriana, Ley, Walmart, etc. They accept USD and will give change in peso.

(Sorry I see in you OP you said your resort doesn't do exchange.)

Just ask anyone where the nearest cambio is located, if you can't spot one yourself.

The bank will give you a better rate than the Cambios, just need your passport and a copy of the photo page.

<The bank will give you a better rate than the Cambios>

Only IF they exchange USD, which many do not these days.

Other currencies can be exchanged at the bank, only USD requires the passport at a bank like Scotiabank.

We always get ours at home now. My bank charges no fees for this because of the type of account. I used to be a hard and fast believer in ATM's until I got compromised and also one trip I couldn't get money "out of money", stood in line, out of order, etc. Was a huge PIA that trip, so now we order at home and it's sooooo much more convenient. If I was going for a month or more I would have to use the ATM, but we don't have the opportunity to go that long anymore, so cash it is:)
