Puerto Vallarta's ATMs

When you stay in one of the villa rentals in Puerto Vallarta, you might find it pretty easy to limit the amount of cash you need at any one time. After all, you have everything that’s essential for a comfy stay, right there at home. Still, you’re probably going to need some change for bus fare and tips, so it’s a good idea to have pesos in your pocket.

A holiday in the villa rentals in Puerto Vallarta is a totally modern affair, and it’s not necessary to find a currency exchange – just look for that old familiar friend, the ATM. You’ll find them scattered throughout town, although it helps to know where to look. In the Zona Romantica, there are two ATMs on Olas Altas near Basillo Badillo; Banamex has an ATM on the zocalo next to the Malecon; and of course, there are machines at the airport.

It’s a good idea to notify your bank that you’ll be travelling, since they might be inclined to freeze your account when they see withdrawals from out of town. If you have one, you might do best to withdraw pesos with a debit card, since they usually carry fewer fees. And know your limit – some machines limit the amount of money you can withdraw.
