wet money

Im staying at a AI with a swim up bar. So when your in the pool or on the beach for the day. You order a drink and want to tip or pay for a drink. Do they like you to pay or tip with wet money? Where does everyone keep there money? Only thing that i can think is in your swimming suit . If we leave the resort for the day and jump in the ocean and need to eat and drink. Might sound like a stupid question im sure as long as its money they will take it.

If you're at an all inclusive, you wouldn't likely be paying for your drinks. As for tips at the swim up, how much are you figuring on tipping? 10 peso coins are available, (that's about a buck US) so you could give them a bunch of those. 20P denomination and up are all bills. Don't agonize over wet/dry. They'll be pleased and grateful to accept any tip, in pretty much any stage of dampness.

My husband has a swimsuit with a plastic pocket inside the pocket that is water proof. That's where he kept his money.

Even with the waterproof pocket in my trucks the money still gets wet. On a good note wet dollar bills don't blow away as easy. I'm more worried about keeping my cigar dry.

I would carry one of those plastic waterproof holders .......... and tuck it down the front of the speedo´s and fall asleep .
Probably wake up with a crowd around me .
Tuck it down the back and you would be on your own

I have never seen them even flinch at a wet $ bill. It's usually hot and sunny, they'll dry quick.
