Essentials

The Caribbean sun demands a high SPF, at least 30, and reapplying it often is key, especially after swimming. Pack reef-safe sunscreen; many destinations, including Cancun, have regulations against oxybenzone and octinoxate to protect coral. Bring a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses to shield your face.

Evenings can bring mosquitos, so a personal repellent spray or lotion is advisable, particularly if you plan to dine outdoors or explore beyond the resort grounds. Consider a lightweight, long-sleeved shirt for sun protection during the day or for cooler nights. For your excursions, a reusable water bottle can be a lifesaver, and a small, waterproof bag will protect your phone and wallet from unexpected splashes or downpours.

While Royalton CHIC Cancun, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort - Adults Only provides many amenities, these personal items will enhance your comfort and preparedness.

Documents and entry

Documents and entry

Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay. While Mexico doesn't typically require a visa for short tourist stays from many countries, you will need to complete an immigration form upon arrival, often handed out on the plane or available at immigration.

Keep this form with your passport until departure. Be aware of any potential tourist taxes or fees that may be collected upon entry or exit, though these are often included in flight packages. It's wise to have digital and physical copies of your passport and flight details stored separately in case of loss or theft.

Your booking confirmation for Royalton CHIC Cancun, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort - Adults Only should also be readily accessible.

Money and cards

While US dollars are widely accepted in tourist areas, carrying Mexican Pesos is advisable for smaller purchases or local markets like Mercado 28. ATMs are available in Cancun, but inform your bank of your travel dates to avoid card blocks. Credit cards are accepted at most resorts and larger establishments, including Royalton CHIC Cancun, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort - Adults Only.

Tipping in Mexico is customary, with around 15-20% expected at restaurants if service is not already included. Small bills in Pesos are useful for porters, housekeeping, and tour guides. Avoid exchanging large sums at the airport, as rates are usually unfavorable.

Clothing by venue

Clothing by venue

For daytime at Royalton CHIC Cancun, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort - Adults Only, think swimwear, cover-ups, shorts, and t-shirts. Evenings at the resort's restaurants often have a smart casual dress code; long pants or nice shorts for men and dresses or stylish separates for women are appropriate.

Avoid beachwear in dining rooms. If you plan excursions to archaeological sites like Tulum or Chichén Itzå, prioritize comfort and sun protection with lightweight, breathable fabrics and sturdy footwear. For nights out in Cancun's party district, pack something more fashionable, but remember that comfort is key when navigating crowds and heat.

Health and meds

Stick to bottled or filtered water for drinking and brushing teeth. While resort food is generally safe, be mindful of street food if venturing out. Pack any personal prescription medications in their original containers, along with a copy of your prescription.

Over-the-counter essentials like pain relievers, antacids, and motion sickness medication are good to have on hand, as pharmacy options might be limited or more expensive than you're used to. Sunburn relief cream or aloe vera gel is also a wise addition. The resort likely has a doctor on call, but having basic supplies readily available at Royalton CHIC Cancun, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort - Adults Only is convenient.
