I did not use credit cards but only because of the interest that would accumulate. Any problems with cash (heard somewhere they don't like $$) I had no problem using pesos or US dollars Traveling with
some kids.... television in english? Yes, there are english (ABC,NBC, CBS etc...)and spanish TV stations. Granted there was too much to do, I never watched TV do they have DVD players in room or
can you rent them? There was no DVD player in the room - I brought a portable one from home for my music. It may work out cheaper for you to do the same at it may cost you to rent one... You can contact the hotel and ask if renting one is an option Any idea what excurisions cost. My daughters really
want to horseback ride on the beach. On the day that you have orientation, you will have someone there to explain all the excursions and how much things cost. If horse-back riding is not an option, you can inquire with other tour operators outside of the resort . Not sure about the cost, but it is avaialble Any help gratefully appreciated.

Hope this helps
