Limo Mon's Palms review

[Sweetness]

?? I am confused. I have never experienced what you describe I mostly use JDs in Negril but when I use USD I always receive the correct change (usually the going exchange rate 84 or 85 to $1US). If I pay for a meal listed at $10 - I give them $850J or if I pay with a US$20 they give me back $850J. I usually calculate myself but when I ask them how much in Js its always the going rate and trus me I watch every dollar regardless of US or J. It sucks if someone is trying to take advantage of you - maybe they are adding in a service tax or something?????

Not so for me last 2 trips previous trips it was like posted, I liked when all prices where in J's and I exchange my U.S. for J's and paid in J's that wasnt so at most places on the beach this trips some the last but more this time. Another poster post about the same treatment. Cambio was at 84 most place are lower then that I didnt see the 85 to 1 you talk about in places on beach and cliffs or at the cambio. 80 norm some 82 to, but when they price in U.S. now and you pay in J's you dont get the 80 to 1 they say its 82 to 1 but they give 75 percent of the exchange so its not 82 to 1. Thats what they figure out on the calculators now a days never seen calculator so much even when buy 2 beers or 1 beer 1 coke they get the calculator out when im paying in J's while in Jamaica why? Its there dollar I'm paying with.

With what I seen last week Take small U.S. bills (5's 10's and 20's) and you will get most prices in U.S. try to pay exact amount in U.S. Exchange big bills for J's carry both ask both prices pay in the money that is best for you. I say if its U.S. pay in U.S. Price in J's pay in J's. I use to be the type who exchanged all my U.S. for J's but after the last trip more small U.S. better.
