However, there were plenty of guests that paid for food & alcohol with pesos when ordering them and next time I go there I'd probably go with that option.
I'm not sure if you save any money by doing one thing or the other, it's just for me personally it's easier to budget my trip knowing exactly how much I've already spent and how much have got left, rather than find out the whole amount at the checkout on your last day.
The thing is, when you tend to get drunk and get carried away, you spend money more easily and when you don't actually see it coming out of your pocket, it's spent at a faster speed. Kind of like people buying expensive shit they can't afford with a credit card and then get surprised when they receive the bill.
This is not a knock on Blackbeards in any way because they give you a choice, all I'm saying is, with an abundance of alcohol, beach party atmosphere and being surrounded by sexy chicas all day and night long you have to be responsible with the way you spend your money and pick an option that works for you.
