💡 Travel Tips

  • Book all-inclusive resorts for convenience, but explore local restaurants for authentic Mexican cuisine
  • Always use sunscreen (SPF 50+) and reapply frequently - the Caribbean sun is very strong
  • Drink only bottled or purified water to avoid stomach issues
  • Book popular tours like Chichen Itza and cenotes in advance during high season
  • Negotiate prices at markets and with unofficial tour operators
  • Use official airport taxis or pre-booked transfers to avoid scams
  • Learn basic Spanish phrases - locals appreciate the effort
  • Carry small bills in pesos as many places don't have change for large notes
  • Be cautious with street vendors and timeshare promotions in the Hotel Zone
  • Check weather forecasts during hurricane season (June-November)
