Confession: I used to be a chronic overpacker. Like, two suitcases for a five-night trip kind of overpacker. But after visiting dozens of all-inclusive resorts, I've finally cracked the code on exactly what you need.
The Essentials
*Swimwear (3-4 sets)* — You'll want at least one for the pool, one for the beach, and a backup. Trust me, nothing is worse than putting on a wet swimsuit.
*Coverups (2-3)* — For walking between the pool and restaurant. Most resorts have a casual dress code for lunch, and a cute coverup does double duty.
*Reef-safe sunscreen* — Please, please protect the coral reefs! SPF 50, reef-safe formula. Your skin and the ocean will thank you.
*A great book or Kindle* — All-inclusive vacations are MADE for reading by the pool. Load up your Kindle or bring that novel you've been meaning to start.
