What are good things to pack when traveling to the Riveria Maya?


In July, to Playa Del Carmen for a week at an all inclusive resort?

Oh...I am jealous! I just went to the Riviera Maya 7 days ago and I am ready to go back!!! I over packed...can't lie about it! Most importantly you are going to want several swimsuits! The water is beautiful and the snorkeling amazing. I overpacked on shorts and shirts because I didn't realize that I would be in the water so much! IMPORTANT: if you are staying in an all inclusive resort you need to check dress code for dinner! Our resort had 11 restaurants that required long pants for men and no beach wear at dinner (except at the buffet, but who wants a week of buffets!) We met a really nice couple at the resort that didn't pack dress pants etc. and had to eat at the buffet every night! Don't be that person! The days are hot, but spent in the water and at the swim-up pool bar, the heat doesn't matter. At night it was still quite warm, so think light weight fabrics that will keep you cool! Don't pack items that need much ironing...we were at a fabulous all inclusive, but the iron was ATTACHED to the mini (dorm size) ironing board. It was almost impossible to get anything ironed and looking good.
But at the end of all of this...pack what is comfortable and live it up! It is a beautiful part of the world with great people...enjoy yourself!

Plenty of sun block, MP3 player, book or Magazines if you read a lot. Light clothing of course. Drive down to Tulum if you haven't been there- the best beach (the one by the ruins). Was just there again a few months back. I'm jealous!

extra copies of your important paperwork, bug spray in case you do any day trips.

Bug pray, sun screen, a towel,just in case, a extra pare of underwear, 2 shirts, good hiking boots, and basically that would be in. Remember to keep hydrated.

dont know

One or two anti-diarrheal pills and Gator Aide (just in case), min. 45 sun block and Off bug spray. Stay hydrated and travel light. Because you WILL live in your bathing suit!
