What budget to travel Cancún? Money and currency

Mexico's currency is the peso. Although a little more expensive than Guatemala and Honduras, a stay in Mexico remains relatively cheap despite inflation. However, since Cancun is a seaside resort that North Americans are fond of, hotel rates tend to be excessive, as are those of restaurants in the hotel area. To save money, we prefer Downtown Cancún, which is more popular. By venturing outside the tourist area, prices are softened.
