US all the way, local currency is ok but some only take US, small notes ($1 $5 $10 $20 ) you will be amazed how many people don;t have change.

Same for the most of the Caribbean

We came back a 6 weeks ago, the rep said US, Jamaican or UK currency accepted at the airport. Just work out what the exchange rates are doing and pay in the least expensive currency, US Dollar in our case.
