Dreams Vista Cancun Golf & Spa Resort: Mosquito Mayhem?

fmd_good Dreams Vista Cancún Golf & Spa Resort

I'm heading to Dreams Vista Cancun next month for a week of supposed relaxation. My biggest fear is mosquitos. I've heard they're brutal in that part of @Mexico. So, my question is: what's the best… more

Bring DEET. Seriously, high percentage DEET. The resort will probably have some, but it's usually weaker stuff. The stuff you buy at a pharmacy in @Mexico or the US will be far more effective. Don't skimp – you're going to want something with at least 30% DEET, maybe even higher. Apply liberally and reapply often, especially after swimming. Wristbands are useless, and netting is overkill unless you're planning on sleeping outdoors. Long sleeves and pants in the evenings will also help. You'll still get a few bites, probably, but you can minimize the mosquito misery significantly with a good DEET repellent.

Arsgan House Mystery?

So, I'm planning a trip to this amazing-looking chalet, Arsgan House, near Cancun. The pictures online are stunning, but they don't show much about the surrounding area. I've heard whispers of local… more

Cancun's got some seriously cool spots beyond the tourist traps. Arsgan House sounds intriguing. I haven't been there specifically, but if you're into history and off-the-beaten-path stuff, check out the El Rey archaeological zone. It's a Mayan ruin, relatively small, but often overlooked. It’s got a more authentic vibe than some of the bigger sites. Plus, the jungle trails around it can be great for hiking – just be prepared for some seriously intense humidity! Also, look into cenotes! There are tons around Cancun, and some are pretty secluded. They're amazing for swimming, and each one has its own unique history and atmosphere. You could easily spend a day exploring a few different ones. Good luck with your trip, hope you find some amazing hidden history!

Wow, thanks! El Rey sounds perfect – I'm definitely into the less-crowded, more atmospheric stuff. The cenotes sound incredible too; I hadn't even considered those. I'll definitely look into both. Appreciate the tips, I'm stoked for this trip now!
