Also take out a travel insurance policy. I suggest Protect Assist or Pack N Go which a company, Travel Guard sells. Being on a charter, just make sure the company you are using is financially solvent as most insurance companies will not insure certain aspects of a trip when using insolvent carriers (i.e. United as an example of a scheduled carrier, but there are many charter companies in bankruptcy reorganiation).

You really don't need to exchange money. U.S. dollars are widely accepted. It's pretty much $1 USD for 10 pesos. On my three prior trips to PVR, I've never exchanged money. Take lots of dollar bills for tips, etc.
