Here is a great list of items that you don’t want to leave home without:
- Passport and Travel documents (Flight documents & Hotel vouchers)
- Peso’s (Bring some small bills for tipping and it’s usually best to exchange your money before you leave home)
- Sunscreen (very expensive if you have to purchase it in Mexico UNLESS you are travelling with only a carry-on bag then you will be purchasing sunscreen at destination)
- Camera (batteries if required)
- ziplock bag to throw wet swimsuit into if you have a late checkout and have time to spend in the pool or ocean
- light sweater/jacket for evening
- watershoes
- snorkel gear (hotels might have snorkel gear but it’s nice to use your own breathing gear!)
- beach wrap (great for covering up to head into restaurants at lunch)
- beach bag (large enough for book/water bottle/camera) and can double as carry-on bag on your flight
- travel mug (keep drinks cold and sand out)
- hat / sunglasses
- body butter (apply after showering, it will keep your tan longer and prevent peeling~ Body Shop has some great scents)
- book/magazines
