Plan, plan and plan again<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you travel someplace, you have an idea of how\u2019s gonna be, but sometimes when you arrive you get very disappointed. We always recommend <strong>doing some research<\/strong> about the place you\u2019re going to visit, get to know the area, language, food, nearby attractions, local transportation, etc. This will give you a trip without surprises.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Take note of what other travelers say about the destination you want to go.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>However, keep in mind that each one of us can have a very different experience. Dare to <strong>live your own experience<\/strong> despite comments discouraging you. At the end, you\u2019ll give your own opinion and no one can say you did not try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Languages_blog.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8875\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;3. Do not expect everyone to speak your language<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the destination you\u2019re going to visit has a different language than yours, part of the adventure of your trip can be <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cataloniacaribbean.com\/en\/some-words-in-spanish-you-should-learn-before-you-visit-catalonia-hotels-resorts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">learning basic and easy words<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;of the local language. Doing so not only will help you communicate better, it will create greater empathy with the locals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;4. Yes, eat and try everything!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whenever we travel to a different country, we want to <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cataloniacaribbean.com\/en\/catalonia-playa-maroma-a-la-carte-restaurants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">try new food<\/a>,&nbsp;<\/strong>especially the one we can\u2019t find at home. But please, don\u2019t forget your body is not used to them and that\u2019s when the problems begin. We recommend you measure yourself when you eat while you\u2019re traveling, this way you can avoid bad times and make this experience more enjoyable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Please, do not reserve the sun beds with your towels if you\u2019re not using them.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an extremely common practice in all hotels in the world and at the same time, it\u2019s one of the main complaints from guests. Although most hotels <strong>do not allow this practice<\/strong>, tourists are turning to it without respecting others guests who are in the hotel. Remember you are in a place where coexistence in harmony is the best way to have a great time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/TouristsShot_blogRivieraMaya.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8877\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, do not complain about things that you \u201cdo have at home.\u201d It\u2019s very common to hear some tourists say, \u201c<strong>Where I live, things are different<\/strong>\u201d You\u2019re in another country! accept and enjoy those little or big differences, as they will be the most valuable contribution of your holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you like our tips?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All our Resorts are located in beautiful areas of the Caribbean and we are sure you\u2019ll take amazing pictures, so do not leave them in your camera or phone.
