We would use repellent, does anyone have any experience of this? We will be there in december Have never been, but I know there will be bugs. Just plan on there being bugs. I live in Texas and fight the bug war all year every year. When I am running I wear the bug repellent wrist bands, but for a lot of standing around I would use a good spray.

Marie51 Posted May 8, 2017 #3 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I did a tour of the ruins in Cozumel and came back covered in mosquito bites so definitely take Insect repellent . I'm assuming Costa Maya would be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maldenmusic Posted May 8, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 8, 2017 We did the Chacchoben ruin tour from Costa Maya last December. Although we had taken lots of insect repellent with us, we didn't see nor were bothered by insects. We were told that December is not considered mosquito season. I'd take some with you just in case but we weren't bothered at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bUU Posted May 8, 2017 #5 Share Posted May 8, 2017 The wet season usually starts in June and ends in October, making the dry season generally from November through May. That's going to invariably have an impact on the presence of mosquitoes, which are most prevalent on dry days during the wet season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifes-a-beach Posted May 10, 2017 #6 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Take a look at the deep woods off wipes. When we went to Lamanai we had used spray and were preparing to reapply some when a lady offered us a couple of the wipes. So much better. No overspray, no getting it in your eyes and mouth, or someone else's. Easy to pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
