Pick up your sunscreen & toiletries from a well-known chemist airside at the airport. No need to worry about the 100ml liquid limit and you don't have to worry about breaking your carry-on weight limit either!

Get a Heat-It smartphone powered insect bite healer. You can't always prevent getting bitten by mosquitoes, but you can treat the itch with this. Each application works within a few seconds and lasts around 10-12 hours. I've used it for 3 holidays so far and it's worked wonders.

Go a week or two out of season, the area will still be beautiful but they’ll be less crowds to deal with.

Always make full use of reviews of a city/resort/hotel/restaurant before you book. This may sound obvious but some people don't do their homework and eventually find out the hard way. Don't just look at the good reviews to justify your choice. Also, you will learn to filter out some of the reviews that don't quite fit with the rest. Some people are unrealistically picky and will always find fault. I always follow my own advice and have never been disappointed.

Look to see where the locals eat and shop. It may not always look so 'smart' but chances are you'll have a better experience with the food, the price, and the company!
