Yeah what's good for the tourist/visitors isn't always good for the locals that's for sure.
We always exchange at the Cambio when we get to Negril after exchanging Canadian for US here in Canada. So we get dipped a few times. Last year we were pretty close to par over even over a bit and I don't think it cost me very much. This year it was 56 dollars to exchange a 1000 CDN to a 1000 USD.
When I first went to Jamaica the Canadian dollar was worth like 86 Cents US.
