Ok already, I give up!!!
You people are way too serious and sensitive for me. Yikes and double yikes. ????️
Wishing you a Feliz Navidad and a 2026 full of adventure and peace.

Guess I should forget my dream of stand up comedian! ????
My post was a response to little guy and if you, sunlight dancer ( lovely name btw)
take a look at the iPad, laptop thread you’ll see the source of nitpicky fun.
Certainly meant no disrespect to long time residents???
Problem with posting …it’s all one D, lacking context and tone of voice
Wishing you a very feliz Navidad.
Namaste

There you go again! “Bank guards”. brinks guards whatever…????
I’ll join your nit pickers club if we can extend it to grammar and punctuation, two of my favourite nit picky topics.????

Not sure if that was an intended insult or an attempt at humor. I will say that when you seek accurate information from knowledgeable people who actually live here, it's best to sheath the claws a bit.

I might be generous, but I assume it must be an attempt at humour. Read the user’s postings. They are rife with grammatical and punctuation errors.

Just look at the small portion you quoted.

- “Bank” is capitalized and “Brinks” is not.
- A sentence ends in an ellipsis followed by multiple question marks.

Yes, the user must be having fun with us.

It is the limit of the blue flag designation.

Probably putting the fence back up that keeps the people away from the crocs. You notice, not to keep the crocs in, but to keep the people out.

I did use the ATM without problem.
Thanks everyone for replying.
One last thing there was a “bulldozer” earth mover? Beside Mangllar this morning. I asked the guys what they were doing but was met with blank stares and decided I would stop torturing them with my mangled Spanish.
The sign said this is the beach limit?

Bank guards perhaps… startling to see but I thought well this must be safe…I hope!
such serious looking weapons, but then again I’m Canadian..

They are not likely “bank guards”. They are more likely private security service personnel, just like in Canada.

Canada ATM Security

It isn’t that the servicing of freestanding ATMs in Canada is weapons-free. The weaponry is less obvious.

I do not use the Santander machine at Soriana any more. Four times over the past few years it has not given me cash but it was withdrawn out of my account. My bank in Canada contacted the Santander each time and I eventually got the money back. It was a big hassle. The 2 other Santander's, one in central Zihua and the other in Ixtapa do not seem to have this problem.

They are refilling the machines with cash. Each bank has their own crew, so with four machines there are usually armed men loading machines.

I went to the one recommended by the guy with the gun!
It worked!

Ok thank you,
I went to soriana and did use the ATM no problem. There was a heavily armed security guy by one of the machines guarding his partner also seriously armed..

There are four there, and we generally use them weekly. I say "them" because we usually have to try three before we find one that works.

Is the atm at soriana ok to use?
I used it last year and had no problem but someone said that last month they didn’t receive cash but it was noted as withdrawn. Anyone used it recently
Thanks

We like using the Santander in Ixtapa
