Help I've never been on an all-inclusive vacation and the resort we're staying at requires...?

men to wear "proper attire" for dinner what does that mean ?? does he have to wear nice dress pants or can he wear jeans(nice ones) it doesnt get specific just says long pants he doesnt own anything but jeans except for like 1 pair of dress pants he wears for wedding etc. but where this is Mexico (Riviera Maya) I can't see them looking right he'd look too dressed up if he wore those just need to know if we have to go buy certain pants for this occasion or if jeans will be fine someone help!!!

no i've looked at pics of the resort and the men dont seem to be that "suited up" (as far as suit n tie) but I cant get a view of their pants cause they're all seated lol but they seem to have short sleeve button down shirts light wieght ones you know island style

your just in luck i go to the rivera maya all the time.

what they mean by proper attire is just nice casual pair of pants, like let s say for instance linen pants, those are good pants. jeans will prob be ok, but let me tell you, IT S REALLY REALLY REALLY HOT!!!! esp the rivera maya. so i def recommend linen pants.it s so much brezzier. trust me. you ll be sweating in a halter top dress.
they just dont want it to be shorts or swim trunks or ripped pants and stuff. and you can always call ahead and ask.

but it s gonna be amazing!!!! trust me. especially in an all inculsive resort, your life will be made. it ll def be a great experiecnce. of course it also depends on the resort. i recommend the ROyal resorts. another good place to check for answers for the rivera maya is this magazine it s called The Owner's Manaul. go to omcancun.com.

it s about cancun and the rivera maya, they can prob answer your question if you dont want to call out of state. and any other questions you have. there really good.

I'd call them or email them and find out for sure.

it might mean a full suit and even a tie

They probably mean "smart casual".

Buy a pair of khaki pants and make sure he has a dinner jacket. That should be sufficient enough. That way. . . if they say no to wearing jeans . . . he'll have another pair of pants. Good Luck!

"proper attire" almost always means coat and tie for a gentleman and no jeans or revealing wear for women.......jeans, tank tops, shorts, halter tops, etc. would be in bad taste...........these rules are especially applicable at a high end resort.

I've been to an all-inclusive in Cancun.

Don't bring jeans, you'll never wear them. Khakis will be fine. You don't need a tie.

Yes, shoes are a good idea. No sneakers or sandals. But don't spend a pile of money on the shoes -- cheap loafers will do it.

we were there for our anniversary last October--you can go with collared shirt and khakis

You could get him some linen pants too, like loose ones that are nice and comfortable. Jeans are going to be so uncomfortable because it's really humid and he will start feeling gross really quickly. White or flax-colored linen is always a good bet in tropical areas, and they can be dressed up or down. Businessmen in Hawaii go to meeting in "Aloha Casual", which is Hawaiian shirt and loose pants like that!
