Travel Tips while Staying in Mexico

Melaque, Barra de Navidad, and the Costa Alegra have become favorite Mexican resort destinations. When traveling to Mexico for your vacation, remember to pack the right clothes, less is better. Summer months are hot and the winter months are warm during the day and cooler at night. Beach resorts have an informal dress code. Throughout Mexico, casual dress is acceptable. Men generally do not wear ties except for formal events. If you visit other Mexico resort areas, such as Puerto Vallarta, you may need some Mexican style evening wear for the more traditional dining experiences. Weather wise Melaque has the best Mexican temperatures; it would be equal to visiting Hawaii, or Bermuda.

Jalisco now has some smoking restrictions so the visiting tourist should show respect for others while in the resorts. Mexicans show emotion and regard vacation friendships and relationships highly. In Mexico it is very important to remember if you make friends with a Mexican family, you are then considered a part of that family and are expected to join them for some family activities. You need to understand import guidelines of Mexico. You can take only two cartons of cigarettes into Mexico, some perfume, a camera, a video camera, and some US goods not exceeding three hundred dollars in value. Always check the customs laws before packing for your vacation in Mexico.

Mosquitoes in Mexico generally come out at sunset on the beach, it is best to go inside your hotels or resorts for this period. You may need insect repellant, but all the pharmacies have repellants in a lotion form. Most resorts have control programs for mosquitoes. Your Mexico vacation weather will be wonderful, as this part of Mexico stays warm all year round, the ideal area for your Mexico beach vacations. If you want to avoid delays at the airport, have your passport ready to expedite entry into Mexico and the United States upon your return from your Mexican resort.

Currency, Cash and Tipping when Traveling in Mexico

Tipping on your Mexico vacations is expected for almost everything you do. Taxi drivers usually only receive a tip if they help with the luggage into your hotel or resort. Resort and hotel employees should be tipped according to the level of satisfactory service. If you need to convert US dollars, the Banamex in Melaque is open for six hours a day and can exchange up to three hundred dollars at one time. The ATM machines of Mexico have twenty-four hour service. Make sure your money is not ripped and has no writing on it; the banks will not accept the money. Most Mexico Resorts and hotels have exchange services for their guests.

One important thing to remember while on vacation in Mexico, is do not drink the tap water, Mexicans don’t. Most resorts and hotels have bottled water for guests to drink. Mexican spirits, wines, beers, and other drinks are found in little shops throughout Melaque along with snacks and any personal items you may need while on vacation in Mexico.

Medical and Dental Services while on Vacation in Mexico

Mexican doctors and Dentists interact with patients on a very personal level. Patients are often surprised at the amount of time their Mexican doctor or dentist will spend with them.

For those of you visiting our Mexico resort you can be assured of excellent and rapid medical service if needed. Statistically, 10% of tourists anywhere in the world will require some medical care during their vacation. At your Mexico Vacation Resort, El Palmar, you will have 24 hour medical service. Dr. Rosa Vivas de LaPointe has 20 years experience and can look after any of your vacation ailments.
