Reef-safe sunscreen only. The parks enforce biodegradable sunscreen (titanium dioxide or zinc oxide only); regular sunscreen is not allowed and you may be asked to rinse it off. Buy it before you arrive, since park shops mark it up.

Photo passes are pricey but capture shots you can't get yourself. They're most worth it at night at Xplor Fuego, where personal cameras struggle.

Hotel guests are able to stay in the park for the Xplor to Xplor Fuego transition from 5-5:30 (rides shut down). This is often a strategy for those who want to experience both parks in one day and to be first in line for the high-traffic rides as soon as Fuego opens.
