Internet is very popular here, travellers and locals use it regularly. This means that almost every place has a wireless Internet connection. Starting from Starbucks to MacDonald's and Burger King. So if you have a laptop it doesn't cost you anything. Problem with Starbucks is that it's expensive to chill there. You get a drink and a sandwich and it will run you close to 10 USD. So I discovered that you can just go to Burger King and get an ice cream instead. In fact, you don't even have to buy anything. Once you have the password you just show up and use it. One thing though, these fast food places usually don't have electrical outlets so you will be dependant on your laptop's battery for power. I was lucky to find one Burger King with an outlet, probably meant for a vacuum or some other cleaning equipment.
And if you don't have a laptop you can always go to an Internet outlet. They are scattered all over town, easy to find since the signs are in English. Price is usually 10 pesos per hour. Some nicer places will even have Skype and headphones so you can make phone calls.
