Do I need biodegradable sunscreen at Xcaret?

kc-to-playa · 05-12-2008

Can someone tell me if I need biodegradable sunscreen at Xcaret? Also, any suggestions as to where I can find some? I have looked so far at Target and a CVS drugstore. Thanks!

Here you go...found this on their website under FAQs:

Can I bring any kind of sunscreen?

The brand recommended is Caribbean Pacific; it must have the legend "Oil Free" and natural ingredients. You can also choose any brand if it is labeled "Paba Free" or "Bio-degradable". IF you can't find any of these; we have some available at our gift shop.

Make it easy, buy it at the entrance store on site.

Don't try to sneak in regular sunscreen either. They put a chemical in the water that makes a large orange spot in the water around anyone who pees in the water or wears regular sunscreen. Everybody will instantly know if you try to do either on.

For only $15, don't think I am going to make myself crazy trying to find it before leaving. Too many other things to take care of before I leave in 4 days !!!
