Is the cambio across from Times Square closed? Where else, besides the banks, can you get a good exchange rate if bringing travelers checks or $100 US bills?

Last time I was there it was open. Not too sure of any other places to exchange money. If you buy something from the grocery store (HiLo) using foreign currency they will give you change back in Jamaican dollars. I hope this helps.
Why do you think it's closed? It was open 6 weeks ago.
groove16 had remarked in his trip report that the cambio looked like it may have closed down -
It was open last 12 days I cash US T cks for $100 92to1 Jan 6&7th afterr that it was 89to1 till I left thursday
Don't change money on the street. Eveyone will ask DON'T EXCHANGE MONEY WITH STREET PEPS
It's open.
Hi Laurie
There is a cambio in town, in front of Coral Seas Plaza.
I got a Schwab account last year, the debit card reimburses any ATM fees and does NOT charge a fee for withdrawing foreign currency. Great service too.
sorry for the confusion...it was closed the morning I tried, and it looked like it was closed for awhile...I walked to town and exchanged $$$, found out later it was open..
I think I was a little too early that morning.
