I went for a few months before our trip to the tanning salon to prep my skin, and I wore 45 sunblock and I still got some crazy sun burns.
Which resort are you going to? We went to Gran Ventana resort, really awesome!
hacienda tropical beach (on playa confresi - is that good or bad?)
That's a bit further up the beach from where I was, but it looks like an awesome place! I checked out the photos :P I was at playa dorada :)
