At a place were the number one form of income is tourism, you would expect the "business owners and workers" to speak some form of English, and yes the large majority of them do. There is no need to buy a Spanish dictionary or learn Spanish. This is still America and there are many Americans living there. My husband is PR and speaks Spanish and rarely needed to use it. The locals will open up a bit more when you speak to them in Spanish and it is very helpful to know a little when trying to "pull" information from them. For the most part you will be fine as everyone knows enough English to communicate. Greet everyone with an "Hola" or Buenos Dias" and as they will appreciate your effort they will more than likely make their own.
