What Is the Best Way to Enjoy My Visit?

Whether you are a first time visitor to Mexico or an El Dorado Maroma regular, there are a number of steps you should take to ensure your vacation is safe, happy, and smooth.

Travel Documents

First, make sure your passport is valid and has space for Mexican stamps. To travel in Mexico, your passport must be good for at least 90 days from the date of entry.

Language

Even if you are planning on staying at El Dorado Maroma for your entire stay, it is a good idea to try and learn some quick Spanish phrases before traveling (or bring a light phrase book to pull out when needed). Good starting phrases would be “hello,” “thank you,” and “where’s the bathroom.”

Packing

Make sure you have packed the right outfits and accessories. Even if you’ll be spending all of your time on the beach, you might decide you want a nice night out at a romantic restaurant, so bring at least one nice outfit! Don’t forget the sunscreen, sunglasses, and hats - Mexico is close to the equator, so the sun can do a lot of damage in a short amount of time.

Planning

Try and plan your vacation early enough to get caught up at work and take care of little things (do you need a pet sitter? Do you need to forward your mail? Let your bank know you’re traveling, etc.) so you won’t be worrying about those important things while you’re trying to relax.
