We take cash. We have say 10 pay-type packets with $200 in each and record the date each one is cashed, on the packet. We keep them in the hotel safety deposit box, not in room safe, because they are electronic and the hotel knows the master code to open them, if the code selected by the guest is forgotten. The safety deposit box should have a two key system, and you can put a lock on the tin that goes into the box, also the staff should have a card that you sign and the person opening the signs, recording the time and date the box was accessed. We have used ATMs, but with the scams that go on with them and credit card we do not feel safe using them.
