For Him

Beach Formal

Linen or light-weight suits, dress shirts, and loafers — ties optional in the sea breeze. Long trousers, please — no shorts.

Skip the Stilettos

Thin heels sink right into the sand — save them for another night.

Flats Are Your Friend

Wedges, sandals, or going barefoot in the sand all work beautifully.

Bring a Layer

Evenings by the water can get breezy — a light wrap or jacket helps.

The Destination

El Dorado Royale

A 5 star all-inclusive beachfront spa resort on the Riviera Maya.

✈

Airport

Fly into Cancún Int'l (CUN). The resort is about a 45-minute drive south.
