On all the main Negril.com pages (Home, Hotels, Dining, etc) there is a currency converter along with current weather conditions near the bottom right of each of the pages!

Hey CapD,
Ras W posted erroneous information that an exchange rate of US$ to British Pound 1 - 1.55 exists. For certain, no such exchange rate exists in Negril, Tokyo, London or New York or anywhere in the world. (You would need at least $1.50 USD to purchase 1 GBP).I was trying to illustrate that these exchange rate threads are only confusing to people and full of innacuracies.
Regardless, thanks for the heads up that I won't be able to exchange a million USD at a cambio in Negril. I wasn't too sure about that!
Newer visitors might be best served by these threads being closed off by Rob with the suggestion to use the Negril.com fx link.
A reminder to never, ever, don't ever change money on the street. I learned the hard way.![]()
Sunray, I didn't pull those numbers out of thin air. That info was copied directly from the Oanda currency exchange site. Today it list the exchange as 1-1.535 and the currency converter linked by Rob on the main page of this site list the exchange at 1-1.54 so where is the inaccuracy? Also here is a link to the FX Trader page for the current daily exchange which lists the rate in that same range: http://www.fxtrader.gkmsonline.com/rates FX Trader is the cambio I use in Negril
Ok I see the confusion it is 1 pound sterling to 1.5 US$ I humbly ask for forgiveness and agree that the rate listings can be confusing. But hey I'm a Yank what do I know from pounds and pence...

Here is a dashboard widget for Mac that is right on the money (pun intended). I look at the rate which is updated every 30 mins and when Linston goes to the ATM it's right on.
I think there's a widget for the PC also
