make sure you charge everything on a card and have the charge put through in euros to get the best exchange. If not the conversion is up to the establishment and they may be doing the exchange at a rate no where near the current rate which as of 10:30 this morning was close to 1.08 Exactly, we stopped at the Cadisco in SAndy Ground and we could pay at a rate of 1.20 with USD, but on CC it came out to 1.09 (few weeks ago), Anse Marcel same thing, 1.20 USD, but on the CC it came to 1.06. Just make sure you have a card that does not charge conversion or transaction fees. I NEVER use my credit card while on the island, only cash, but this was the first trip where I used it on the French side and while in St. Barths
