What should I pack when moving to Punta Cana?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Punta Cana to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, you should pack lightweight clothing due to the tropical climate. This includes shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, and sundresses. You should also pack a few swimsuits for the beach and pool, as well as a cover-up. Don't forget to pack a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. You should also pack comfortable walking shoes or sandals, as well as a pair of dress shoes for more formal occasions. If you plan on hiking or exploring, consider packing a pair of sturdy hiking boots. Pack your toiletries, including travel-sized shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothpaste, and a razor. You should also pack any necessary prescription medications, as well as a basic first aid kit. Don't forget to pack your passport, driver's license, and any other necessary identification. You should also bring a copy of your health insurance card and any other important documents. If you plan on using your electronics, don't forget to pack the necessary chargers and adapters. You might also want to bring a portable power bank for your devices. Lastly, consider packing a few books, a journal, or other forms of entertainment for your downtime. You might also want to bring a reusable water bottle, a beach towel, and a sturdy backpack for day trips," wrote a member who made the move to Punta Cana, the Dominican Republic.
