Welcome onbaord
You'll need a 2 flat pin US style adatper. It's 127 volts, so less than it is here. If your devices are 240 volts, you'll need a converter or they'll not work properly. Eg hair straighters won't warm up enough and hair dryers will be slow / too cold.

Thanks Dazbo5 - been a lurker for a long while - looking forward to Mexico
What is this device?
Where would I go to buy one of these & is it just like a plug in device?
Thank you

You can buy voltage converters so appliances work on lower voltage systems when abroad. Be aware some can only be used with low wattage appliances so can't be used with hair straightners or hair dryers. The easiest is to buy travel versions of appliances that run on 110 volts so you can just plug them in.

We have just returned from Mexico and my wife took her 240v hair straighteners and, although slow to warm up, worked ok. 240v hairdriers will not work correctly so unless you have a voltage converter, don't bother taking it.

going to same resort look what dates you out there?
Universal UK Standard Travel Adaptor wii be ok.
Hi
mari,
Thanks I need to take my GHD straighteners which require a lot of power do you think hotels will provide the adaptors etc?
Hotels won't provide adapters. Boots and many other stores sell them, as well as airports. I would get one before you go as they tend to be expensive abroad (captive market!). I would also check the voltage requirments as well, Mexico use 110-120v rather than our 240v so they might not get as warm as they do other here if they require 240v. you might find this topic useful; Dual Voltage hair straighteners.
