Thanks guys- that really helps!
Anyone confirm... I believe I read it somewhere...
is there is a cambio right across the street from CoCo?... if so is this a 'fair rates' sort of place or a 'go down the road for better rate' sort of place? thanks again
Cambio,s are at : Boardwalk Village, usually the best rate
Right in front of Bourben Beach
Just past the traffic circle in town.
Banmark, westend motorcycle joint not far from Hungry Lion.
So if we were to go spend the evening at Seastar eating and drinking,is it worth converting US dollars to Jamaican dollars??
You need to watch some of the smaller places, as they seem to be using the old conversion rate to their benefit.
Example - Had dinner at 3 dives last week. They are advertising their lobster dinner for 2500 J, or $28.00 US.
I noticed this in several other small places.
just dont get caught up for saving pennys....some will spend 10.00 us in cab rides to save 5 us in converting..I guess the ride is a plus......
and its not good for the tourists...everything sooner or later will reflect the increase...just like at home.....your dollars or what ever you use is worth less.......
I'm sure I have some from mids 80"s here is a sample of 1989..that I can find right away.......

$5.36 US got you 100 Jamaican...now thats! gettin more for your money (wholesale was .50 cents for Red Stripe)
There is no need to convert money going to Seastar. There menu is priced in us$ and they will accept us$ and their current conversion rate is us$1 to j$100.Quote:

Yes, Seastar prices in U.S.A. dollars for everything including the menu, rooms bar, tours, transport etc. but are just as happy to convert to J if you so desire at an honest and favourable rate as Rob points out.
$1 to 100J, that is so much easier, unfortunately :)
