Tips for packing:

• Roll clothes instead of folding. Saves room and less wrinkles
• Less is better. If you don't NEED it, don't bring it. Stores here in Cancun have most things you might want.
• If there is a certain kind / brand of something you enjoy, bring it. Tea, coffee, cigarettes, etc. While you can surely find something similar here, if you only want your brand then bring it with you.
• Biodegradable Sunblock is hard to find in the states. Order it here and have it waiting for you in Cancun.
• No need to bring towels if you are staying in a resort.
• Put liquids in Zip lock bags. So many times the spill out into your luggage
• Pack bathing suits, lotion, and other beachwear at the top in your luggage so you can access them in case you arrive at the resort before regular check-in time. It will be the first thing you need!
• Generally Cancun is very casual, but you will want a nice outfit or two for clubs and nicer restaurants.
