When booking luxury vacation rentals, most travelers know to expect an unbeatable quality of service and exquisitely beautiful accommodations. Yet while the stellar concierge services available at these destinations mean that no guest will go for wanting, travelers heading to Mexican villas may still want to prepare a few items before setting off on their international excursion.

First off, travelers with sensitive skin will want to be sure to bring along any specialized products they may require, especially suntan lotion. Though many Mexican Villas in Acapulco or Riviera Maya area are close to spas that can cover most needs, why waste the trip out when you can devote that time to relaxing or exploring the local attractions?

Guests should also try to plan their trip itinerary in advance to avoid over packing. Though it is certainly good to be prepared, adding a second suit to your luggage may be unnecessary if your time in Puerto Vallarta will mostly be spent lounging by the pool. Most villas also have maid and laundry service, allowing your wardrobe to last twice as long and leaving space in your bags for any souvenirs you may be taking home.

Travelers who prefer to leave their eReader and laptop at home may want to bring more traditional reading materials with them. Resort towns like Los Cabos will have a plethora of English books and magazines, but more unique choices and specialized publications may be harder to come by.
