Hermoso lugar, sin duda, gracias por compartirlo con mis lectores.
Sólo quisiera comentarte una cosa, Ale. Para nosotros que no ganamos en dólares estadounidenses nos estás cobrando 24% más que el año pasado por el mismo servicio. ¿Por qué no cobras en nuestra moneda nacional? Espero que tomarás en consideración mi pregunta para no discriminar contra los turistas nacionales y canadienses, entre otros.
Quisiera mostrar tu sitio web a mi esposa pero no encontré la versión en español. ¿Hay?
Reciban ustedes saludos cálidos desde Zihuatanejo.

Hola
Way to go Rob! After all the years here I am embarrassed to say that my Spanish is pretty rudimentary, but I think I got the gist of your post. Thanks for sticking up for us turistas nacionales y canadienses. Advertising prices for goods and services in Mexico in anything other than Mexican currency must end.

Excerpt from post by victorio:
"Advertising prices for goods and services in Mexico in anything other than Mexican currency must end."
Hola victorio
I'm not sure that it "must end."
Trying to take an objective look at this issue........
I agree that, whatever product or service to be used or consumed in México, that is advertised on a media source with a base in México, should have a price in MXP shown, as the primary price.
For example:
There could be though, people from other countries, that prefer USD, for comparing prices / shopping with other providers/suppliers, etc., of the same or similar product or service, find the USD quotes more manageable, rather than doing the conversion to USD from MXP.
A possible option for those who insist in advertising in USD, such as a rental property, should also either list the MXP price, or state, something to the effect that, the MXP may be calculated using the exchange rate in effect at the time of purchase.
Obviously, since the exchange rate changes daily, correspondingly, the MXP final sale price will do the same.
I'm not sure, but ¿maybe the PROFECO has some say in this issue?

Get real. Who other than us citizens wants prices posted in usd? What other country in the world, other than the us, posts prices in usd. I am sure that you can find some exception, they are always out there, but come on. What will happen when the usd takes its inevitable dive down? Start posting in the favoured money of the moment?

I suspect the prices are shown in USD because the primary market is for the U.S. tourist. It's called target marketing. And, yes, it would be a simple matter to state the price in MXP with a link to a current exchange rate for the USD--and the CN$ and the Euro and the --oh, whatever.
Then we could all start complaining that distances should be based on the meter, weights on the kg, etc., etc., etc., ad naseum.
Or we could focus on real issues like parking on the sidewalk or the wrong side of the street or walking down a public forum with an open container, or light up that cig in a restaurant, or let dogs run loose on a beach or bark all night or---or---or

Therein lies the great myth and the perfect smokescreen for greed.
Regionally, over 80% of our tourists are Mexicans. Of our foreign tourists, this year the Canadians are the majority by a long shot. Over 65% if I recall correctly a recent report by local tourism officials.
I just checked a few random hotels around the world. I saw they either list their rates in their local currency or they offer a drop-down box where you select your currency and it's automatically converted. None offered rates exclusively in dollars including those lodgings where U.S. citizens are their primary market.
Mythbuster
Travel season is approaching. We will begin our trip to Japan, April 12th for 4 weeks, followed by Calgary, San Diego, New York City and in the fall to Europe. We stay primarily in Starwood brand hotels. I can confirm that all the locations are based on local currency(including Mexico).

Hola Z.R:
I would agree with U on that.
In effect, that was a suggestion I noted in my post.
If someone thinks that some type of conversion option, such as a drop-down box, or similar option, is NOT a good idea, then they should "get real."
Take this example please:
Let's say a AAA member in the USA was looking for rates for a hotel in México, via the US based AAA website.
I would expect that the rates shown be listed in USD, and, have a drop-down box, (or similar option) for a MXP rate.
On the other hand, if that person found a hotel in México, and went to their MX based website, I would expect a MXP rate to be primary, and, offer an option such as a drop-down box, to get a USD rate, as well.
This issue need not be so complicated or controversial.
Businesses have different objectives, etc., and ways of doing business.
We may agree, or disagree with them.
One is entitled to take their business elsewhere if they don't agree.

Hola Gringo Viejo...
That is a point I was trying to convey.
The other user, though, apparently did not understand that.

Hola Victorio
It seems that U did not understand the point(s) I was trying to make.
IMO, a US based website, offering whatever goods or services from whatever other country, should have a USD rate as their primary rate.
And, as another suggested, offer a drop-down box, or, similar option to convert to their desired currency.
If the USD "takes it's inevitble dive down", a currency converter would reflect that drop.
Getting back to the main point, I agree that, a hotel or rental property, for example, here in Z, advertised, or listed on a Mexican website, or any other Mexican media, should most definitely show the MXP as the primary rate.
The option most always exists to take one's biz elsewhere if you do not like a policy or practice of a business.
