theague Mr. Monkey Pants!  More info | Mar 11, 2009 13:46 | #1 I'm going to Mexico this weekend, Mayan Riviera area. My question is about electrical outlets. Most places I have read seem to imply that things are similar down there as far as voltages, only real issue is the outlet socket accepting polarized or grounded plugs. - Kody

I'm going to be in a time-share type place so I'm hoping that I will be able to charge my camera batteries like normal with no worry? Anyone have experience with this in the greater Cancun area? Thanks! I was in Playa del Carmen several years ago, and had no problems at all. I don't think it will be a problem for you. Particularly if you're staying in a relatively modern spot. -David

DO BE wary of theft down there, and carry only as much gear as you are willing to lose. ☼ Christian D. ☼

Thanks! I was at Barcelo Palace on the MR last year and they have USA style outlets. No problems whatsoever. Did you lose Digital Photo Professional (DPP)? Get it here
