Good advice, nothing worse than being frazzled on the first day! Totally ruins the romance when you hear "DON'T TOUCH ME THERE" lol.
I always bring a 15 ,8 , and 4 Australian gold oils. I always get complements on nice tans. Start with the 15 or 30 and work your way down. The oils keep your skin from drying out. There not as oily as the old stuff used to be Make sure to bring enuf cause their expensive at the resort, The tanning lady wanted $60 for 2 small bottles.
60 for anything like arms, and above the water. 30 for below the water. Works great and never burn. I use the Baby stuff. I used to burn all the time and i get a fantasitc tan everytime.
