CANCUN TRAVEL BASICS
Travel documents
Fortunately Mexico is very flexible with tourists, and you only need your passport to get into the country. No visa document is needed and you will only be requested to fill a general information form when you arrive.
Currency
Mexican official currency is the Peso and the exchange rate flows around 12-13 pesos for dollar. It has been very usual and accepted to pay in dollars, as Cancun economy is based on tourism, from USA mostly. However, recently, the Mexican government has forced tourist industry companies to refuse dollars from tourist, by restricting the amount of dollars that companies can monthly deposit in bank accounts. In consequence, the majority of stores and tourist operators are not accepting dollars any longer, but pesos only, until you can always use your credit card, without restrictions.
Weather
Cancun has an excellent weather all along the year. Even on winter, a light jacket is more than enough. Bring comfortable, fresh cloths, and do not worry about the umbrella.. there is a very low probability of needing one.
Language
Do not worry about the Spanish neither.. everybody speak English! However, do not miss the chance to learn some Mayan expressions and words, you will find it very funny and is so easy to find somebody who speaks Maya!
GETTING AROUND CANCUN
Cancun
Moving your self around Cancun is very easy. There is only one avenue that takes you to all the hotels, and downtown is easy to walk and everything is close by. However, if you need to take a transport in downtown, take a taxi. They are inexpensive and much more faster than buses.
But if you need to go to Hotel Zone, then the taxi could be a little expensive. In that case, the bus will be the best option. Very cheap, functional and they run 24 hours all along the hotels zone and downtown.
Nearby Cities

Bus station is located at Tulum Avenue -the main avenue in downtown-, and they have routes that connect you to every single city or town in the Yucatan Peninsula. Not all the buses are first class, but you are in Mexico!.. everything is an adventure!
Renting a car is a great option, as you will enjoy so much the country and the small Mayan towns and colonial Haciendas along the roads.
