Essentials to have:

Waterproof pants and windbreakers are needed throughout the rainy season.
Each tourist must bring one personal raincoat and an umbrella for each person, including children. Carry a windproof umbrella if possible, as it will be extremely windy!
A waterproof phone bag would be helpful if you were going on a hike or had to go out in the rain. Consider a slightly larger bag so that the rain can cover your other products, like power banks, chargers, and pen drives. The last thing you want is to lose your phone in the rain!
Bug Repellent and anti-slippery good quality shoes are also a must.

Here are some other packing recommendations:

Travel as light as possible and avoid carrying toiletries that can be purchased once you get to your location. Most resorts provide shampoo, oil, moisturizer, and other amenities.
Avoid overpacking and learn to mix and match your clothes. Remember, the less luggage you carry, the less hassle you’ll have.
Things like towels and hair dryers are provided at the resorts, so don’t bring them.
Generic drugs are also essential for resolving common health issues such as colds, coughs, sneezing, constipation, and diarrhoea.
