As you know (presumably), Playacar is an upmarket gated resort community about 2 miles south of Playa del Carmen. I was in PdC earlier this year, but not in Playacar, so don't know if any of the resorts have ATMs within them - I doubt it but check with your resort hotel perhaps - most have websites. Also on many resorts, in the hotels themselves they run a cashless system where you sign for services and pay by creditcard (or cash) at the end of the stay.
As the above link indicates, there's plenty of ATMs at various banks in PdC. I used these to get pesos out - no problems. On this coast, there's so many US tourists visiting that virtually all shops with any tourist link accept USD and most PRICE things in USD, not pesos. However assuming you are UK-based, there's no point taking dollard because you will lose out twice in conversion of currencies.

Thanks folks,

Dot that is a brilliant website thanks. Been on that quite abit today when I should have been working!! LOL

Buildersmate...no I did not know Playacar is a gated resort, what does that mean?? Looked on hotel website it did not say it had atms but that probably does not mean it hasn/t!

Thanks again both of you!
A gated resort has a security point at the entrance, behind which are a series of resort hotels. The road to the hotels and down to the beach is essentially private. That's why I didn't go down there. In terms of informal independent advice on places to go, you might like to look at Trip Advisor. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g150812 -Activities-Playa_del_Carmen_Yucatan_Peninsula .html
