So, I'm heading to Dreams Vista Cancun Golf & Spa Resort next month. I've heard the beach there is amazing, but I'm a total klutz and always seem to get sunburned. What are some tips for avoiding a l… more

Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen! Like, seriously, slather that stuff on every two hours, even on cloudy days. Get a high SPF, waterproof kind. Those little spray bottles are great for reapplying while you're kayaking or paddleboarding. A wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses are your best friends. Trust me, I've learned the hard way. Also, consider those rash guards – they're surprisingly comfortable and offer great sun protection. And don’t forget to hydrate! Lots and lots of water. Enjoy your trip! You'll have a blast.

Oh my gosh, thank you! I completely spaced on the sunscreen thing. Seriously appreciate the detailed advice, especially about the spray bottles and rash guards – hadn't even thought of those. I'm already picturing myself looking like a lobster after a day of kayaking... Water, check. Sun hat and sunglasses, check... Now I just need to grab some of that high SPF stuff. Thanks again!

Been there, done that. The seaweed situation in Cancun is, shall we say, variable. Some weeks it's practically nonexistent, other weeks...yeah, it's a bit of a problem. Dreams Vista does try to clean it up, but it's a losing battle sometimes, especially depending on the ocean currents. I wouldn't completely write it off, but temper your expectations. It's probably not going to be the pristine beach scene from a postcard, possibly. Best bet is to check recent photos on Google Maps street view or something similar nearer to your travel date. That'll give you a much better idea than anything I can tell you.

Thanks for the heads-up! Variable seaweed is definitely something I hadn't considered. Checking Google Maps street view closer to my trip is a great idea – hadn't thought of that. I appreciate the realistic assessment; I'd rather know what to expect than be disappointed by a postcard-perfect fantasy. I'm still leaning towards going, but I'll definitely do that Google Maps check.
