Helpful Tips

 

Immigration

Do not forget to hold on to your tourist card (visa) as it must be returned to immigration officials when you leave the country. You do not need to carry your personal documents within the state. We suggest you to leave them inside our safety boxes at the hotel.

Speed Limits & Speed Bumps

In towns the limit is generally 40 km/h (approx. 25 MPH). Highways range between 90 km/h (approx. 55 MPH) and 100 km/h (approx. 70 MPH). Speed bumps are a popular way of keeping drivers within the speed limits, look for them when entering/leaving small villages or towns.

Tips

The average tip for waiters is from 10% to 15% depending on the service. Hotel maids get a couple of dollars a day, bellboys and skycaps at the airport can expect from $ 0.25 to $ 0.50 (USD) per bag.

Restaurant checks

In Mexico it's not a common practice to take the bill to your table until you ask for it. When you're ready, just say "La cuenta, por favor" to your waiter. The tax is usually 10% and is not included.

Weather

From December to April the temperature goes from 30°C during the day to 20°C at night. If it's dry, a sweater during the night will be nice. It's the most touristic period. From May begin the summer season and the temperature raise a little bit. This is the more suitable period for who want to spend their holidays avoiding the crowd. July and August are the most hottest months with a lot of European tourism. In September, October and November the temperature is the same as June and August but with more showers.
