Money: If you are coming from the US then you dont need to really change your money if you are intending staying in the hotel zone USD are fine for everywhere there. You may find it better to change a small amount of $USD into pesos though, say for the bus which costs 70 US cents or 65 pesos, you wont get change out of a dollar bill and they wont accpet coins. The best rate of exchange is via the ATM machines (but check with your bank about their charges)
Water: The hotel zone is on a different water system to downtown, all the main hotels have purified water - this is fine for brushing your teeth etc but I wouldnt recommend drinking a pint of it. Ice cubes too in the HZ are fine, downtown more dodgy.
Prescrips : You should be fine bringing them in one container, from the US they only search one in ten or so and even then I dont expect you'd have a problem. I used to bring syringes (for anti blood clotting) from the UK and never had a problem.
Never realised there were so many Qunitana Roo residents here ;)
Viva Mexico!
