What should I pack when moving to Ixtapa?
We asked people living in Ixtapa to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Ixtapa, you should pack lightweight clothing due to the tropical climate, including shorts, t-shirts, and swimwear. Don't forget to pack a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. It's also a good idea to bring a light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings. Pack comfortable walking shoes, as well as sandals or flip-flops for the beach. If you plan on dining in upscale restaurants or attending formal events, pack some dressier outfits as well. Remember to bring all necessary travel documents, such as your passport, visa, and driver's license. If you take prescription medication, bring enough to last for your entire stay, along with a copy of your prescription. Pack toiletries, but keep in mind that most items can be purchased locally. If you use specific brands, however, you may want to bring them with you. Don't forget to pack electronics like your phone, laptop, and camera, along with their chargers. A power adapter may also be necessary if your devices don't match Mexico's power outlets. Lastly, pack a Spanish-English dictionary or phrasebook, as not everyone in Ixtapa may speak English. It could also be helpful to download a translation app on your phone," explained one expat living in Ixtapa, Mexico.
