Might sound like a silly question, but taking enough lotion for 3 weeks is a bit heavy in the suitcase. While tanning lotion can be quite expensive in resort areas, wondering about purchasing it at Wal-Mart in Playa . Has anyone been lately and purchased ? would save me a few pounds and I could add more shoes or something.

You can buy suntan lotion all over Playa. Shop around a little before you buy since the price varies from store to store. However, Wal-Mart probably has it as cheap as any other place.

I was considering using these guys for Suntan, I've booked a private tour with them to Chichen-Itza & Tulum. Not sure if the prices are good but they have said they will deliver to the hotel as they have a driver in the area on my arrival date (5th April).

Walmart and Mega had a great selection of suntan lotions, and their prices were comparable to here in Canada. Prices on 5th Ave. were higher.

Does anyone know if Walmart has the "bio-degradable" kind of sun screen that some excursions require?

Wal Mart had best selection and yes they have bio-degradable. Price was the same as in Toronto. Sunscreen on 5th avenue was hideously expensive and I couldn't find anything that had adequately UVA protection (which is different that SPF factor) - you have to read ingredients for that.
