Travel Adapter for Mexico
Will I need a travel adapter for Mexico, specifically for RIviera Maya, near Cancun?

And where is a good place to buy one?

Thanks!!!

You don't need one. Electricity in Mexico is the same as the US.

Sometimes in older construction they may only have the 2-pronged type outlets. So if you have any 3-pronged kind of things, you can pick up a simple 3-to-2 adapter after you arrive.

Suze is correct. but your 3 to 2 prong adapters in Mexico as US ones do not work as they have two different sized prongs. The Mexican ones are both the same size.

I know that, that's why I said to pick it up after you arrive, if you find you need one!
