Most goods, including holiday essentials, i.e. sun tan and after sun lotions, insect and mosquito repellents, etc. are available in the larger resorts and supermarkets. Bringing these items with you may not only you save time but it will also ensure that you will have your preferred brands – if you are flying, remember not to pack these in your cabin luggage.
A wide-brimmed sun hat is good to have also it is a good idea to have a photocopy of your passport and if you are driving a copy of your license, keep these on you as a means of ID and leave the originals in a secure place. Losing or having the originals stolen can spoil your holiday experience.
