There are more "exceptions" happening everyday. Dudley from Big Ship Tours now accepts credit cards, and even smaller stores such as L&M next to the No Limit Bar accepts cards. Of course hotels and their bars and restaurants will accept credit cards. But as a general rule, cash is king...
Most places are giving between j$95 and j$100 to us$1 at the moment. If you have a no-fee ATM card, you can get cash at any ATM at the inter-bank rate which is currently j105 to us1.
Most Cambios are currently giving 102 to 1.
