Actual dress code
During the day, swimwear is expected by the pools and beach, though a cover-up is appreciated when moving between areas or heading to a casual lunch spot. Footwear is required in all public areas, so leave the bare feet for the sand. As evening descends, the dress code at Royalton CHIC Cancun, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort - Adults Only shifts to smart casual for its restaurants and bars.
This means no swimwear, athletic wear, or tank tops for men. For women, sundresses, skirts, or stylish shorts with a nice top are appropriate. Closed-toe shoes or dress sandals are recommended for men, while women have more flexibility.
The resort aims for a chic, modern feel, and the attire reflects this, encouraging guests to feel polished.
What locals and repeats wear
Savvy travelers and repeat visitors to Cancun understand the need for breathable fabrics in the tropical heat. Lightweight linen shirts, tailored shorts, and comfortable yet stylish espadrilles or loafers are common for men in the evening. Women often opt for flowing maxi dresses, chic jumpsuits, or elegant separates in natural fabrics.
Think breathable cottons, linens, and light rayons. Evenings can sometimes bring a slight breeze off the ocean, so a light wrap or stylish cardigan is a practical addition. Many guests at Royalton CHIC Cancun, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort - Adults Only also pack a pair of smart sneakers that can transition from daytime exploring to a casual dinner.
What to avoid packing
Leave the high-performance athletic wear at home. While comfortable, it's not suited for the resort's restaurants or evening entertainment. Similarly, avoid bringing items that might be damaged by humidity or salt air, such as delicate electronics without proper protective cases.
Think twice about packing anything too casual for dinner; the dress code at Royalton CHIC Cancun, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort - Adults Only, leans towards smart casual for most dining venues after 6 p. m. This means no flip-flops or beachwear in the main dining rooms.
Also, consider leaving behind any bulky, heavy fabrics that won't breathe well in the tropical climate; you'll appreciate lighter materials.
